00:00Welcome back to Movie Recaps. Today I will show you a comedy film from 2021, titled Queenpins.

00:06Spoilers ahead. Watch out and take care.

00:09In Phoenix, Arizona, suburban housewife Connie is arrested in the middle of the night at her own

00:14house. As she gives up without a fight, she remembers how all this got started months ago.

00:18Connie is a former three-time gold medal winning Olympic racewalker, but this isn't the kind of

00:23thing that makes you rich or famous. Nowadays she lives with her husband Rick, an IRS auditor she

00:27has a very tense relationship with. Because they weren't capable of having children, they spent a

00:32lot of money on treatments, but sadly, when Connie finally got pregnant, she lost the baby. That's

00:37when Rick decided to take a traveling position at work, so he can be away for three weeks every month.

00:42When he's home, he doesn't treat Connie well, constantly reminding her that she's jobless,

00:46that they lost money because she wanted to do multiple treatments when he was ready to give

00:49up after the first one, and scolds her for spending too much money on her obsession with coupons.

00:53That bit about an obsession is real, Connie hoards coupons and then buys things in large quantities,

00:59putting it all away in the nursery to cover the walls and forget about her loss.

01:02The good side of Rick not being around so much is Connie getting the chance to befriend her

01:06neighbor Jojo, who has a YouTube channel about saving tips and is coupon obsessed too.

01:10She lives with her mother Josie and is having trouble finding work because her identity got

01:14stolen not so long ago. In her free time, she flirts with the mailman Earl and sells makeup door-to

01:19-door,

01:19which isn't going very well either. Whenever Connie goes to the supermarket, she gives cashier

01:24Greg dozens of coupons for her purchase. It holds back the line for a while, but it also means her

01:29final ticket goes from over $100 to $16. Connie always likes to say that if you watch the pennies,

01:34the dollars will take care of themselves. One afternoon, while putting away the groceries on

01:39the shelves, she gets upset when she sees the baby wallpaper among the boxes, so she decides to eat a

01:44bunch of cereal as if it could heal her depression. The cereal turns out to be stale, so Connie uses

01:49all

01:49her current inner anger to send a complaining email to the cereal company. A few days later,

01:53Connie receives a coupon for free cereal in the mail with a letter from the company apologizing

01:57for the stale product. When she goes to the market to exchange it with a smug attitude,

02:02Greg explains she isn't special, all companies will send free coupons to people that complain.

02:06This inspires Connie to send a bunch of letters to different manufacturers even if there wasn't

02:10anything wrong with the products, which earns her a huge pile of coupons for free stuff.

02:14Connie shows them to Jojo, who is shocked to see such a strategy and even tries to buy a coupon

02:19from Connie because it would still be cheaper than the actual price. Her offer makes Connie realize

02:23selling stuff she got for free would give her 100% profit and it would make for a great business.

02:28After searching the internet, she discovers that the coupons are made in Mexico, not far from where

02:32she lives, so they could go and steal a bunch to resell. Jojo is skeptical at first, but since

02:37she's drowning in debt, she accepts to help. Meanwhile in Nevada, loss prevention officer Ken is doing his

02:42job at a local market. When a cashier has trouble with a coupon, he checks it out and quickly realizes

02:47it's fake. The manager asks if they can honor it anyway because the old lady has been their client

02:51for decades, but Ken refuses because rules are rules. Ken's manners are incredibly poor, earning

02:57him some insults from the old lady. A similar situation happens later when he gets on a plane

03:01to return home, a mother asks him if he could please switch seats with her daughter so she can

03:05watch the landing to help her calm down, but Ken refuses like a twat, saying it's an important lesson

03:09for the kid to learn. When he finally arrives at his lonely apartment in Utah, Ken yells at the TV

03:14and frustration. The next day in Mexico, Connie and Jojo make it to the coupon factory and watch

03:19the employees end their shifts. They decide to approach Alejandro and Rosa, a couple that is

03:24already breaking the rules but doesn't look too dangerous. The duo follows the couple with the

03:28car and they think they're about to get robbed, but after Connie and Jojo clarify they're there for

03:32help, they are welcome at Alejandro's house to have a little chat. It turns out Rosa is pregnant

03:37and their salaries are a joke, so it's easy for Connie and Jojo to come forward with their offer.

03:41If the couple steals coupons for them, they will resell them later in the USA and share part of

03:45the profits. Alejandro isn't sure it's a good idea, but Rosa convinces him to do this for the sake of

03:50their baby. Making a plan isn't too difficult, the factory is divided into printing, where Alejandro

03:56works, and Redemption, where Rosa works. Each side usually doesn't know what the other does.

04:00With every coupon they print there's always an extra that is supposed to get destroyed,

04:04but Alejandro can ship those extras to Connie and Jojo when their trucks do their distributions

04:08around the USA. There will be no problems at the border because they'll only see a box with coupons,

04:13not a legal activity. A few days later, the duo gets their first box with coupons,

04:17so they make a simple website to sell them and promote it on Connie's channel.

04:21Their business quickly becomes a success, earning them tons of money, but the supermarkets soon start

04:25noticing too. Ken receives dozen of letters and phone calls from managers complaining about all the

04:30money they're losing, so he begins a thorough investigation until he can find a credit card number behind

04:34one of the many purchases made with these coupons. After 11 days of work, Ken goes to see the

04:39housewife that used this coupon and learns about the website that sells them, promoted by a black

04:43woman on YouTube. When Ken returns to the office and opens the website, he finds the motto,

04:48if you watch the pennies, the dollars will take care of themselves. Back to the duo, they're upset to

04:53find their PayPal account has been frozen because it's received too much money too quickly. To unfreeze it,

04:58they need to prove they're running a legitimate business. They don't know how to do this properly,

05:02so in their desperation, they decide to contact Tina, who is a famous hacker on the dark web.

05:07Tina scolds them for promoting this so freely because it can be all traced back to them,

05:11so after deleting JoJo's videos, she explains they need a front for their business so they can clean

05:15their money. They'll get a bunch of fake IDs, bank accounts, and a stash house to work in, also,

05:20they must wait six months before spending their money so every connection they've established to

05:24their real names can have time to disappear. After agreeing Tina will get 10% for her help,

05:29she gives them a special encrypted USB stick for them to keep their important files in.

05:33Thanks to Tina's quick thinking, there are no clues left on the internet for Ken to follow.

05:37He goes to the FBI and gets told they'll look into it, but actually, they find a problem with

05:41coupons to be laughable, so they throw the case to their lowest desk worker Albert. Since he has

05:46nothing better to do, Albert accepts the case. Using JoJo's cosmetics brand as a cover and Tina's fake

05:51IDs, the coupon scam begins growing into a very profitable business again while Ken leaves messages for

05:56the FBI every day. Six months later, the duo is ready to spend their money, but they remember Tina

06:01said it's dirty, so they have to clean it first. Remembering a story of Rick's about a client of

06:06his, Connie decides that they need to buy lots of expensive stuff to be resold later, and the money

06:10from those sales will be seen as clean. After convincing all the banks to give them the money

06:14in cash because it's to hire people for their cosmetic business, Connie and JoJo go on an incredibly

06:19expensive shopping trip. They buy sports cars, boats, a private plane, and even guns. Afterward,

06:25they take a trip to Las Vegas, where they discuss their future plans. JoJo will pay for her mother's

06:30mortgage, and Connie wants to try the fertility treatment again. Meanwhile, Ken finally receives

06:35the call from the FBI he's been waiting for. Albert informs him he can't do anything on the

06:39internet because an expert has deleted all cookie trails, but since the coupons are being sent through

06:43old regular mail, he'll send someone that can actually help. Two days later, Ken meets Simon,

06:48a postal inspector. Simon accepts the case and asks Ken to order some coupons from the website so they

06:53can take a good look at the system. When the envelope arrives a couple of days later, Simon

06:57quickly notices the envelope says it's from Kansas but it actually comes from Arizona thanks to the

07:02special numbers on the online stamp. He will be flying to Phoenix soon and agrees to take Ken with

07:06him since he already knows all the supermarkets in the area. Back to Connie, she makes an appointment at

07:11the fertility clinic and takes JoJo with her for support because she hasn't told Rick she's doing this.

07:15The doctor informs her this is her last shot, so Connie decides to use a donor's seat instead of her

07:20husband's. Later in the evening, Tina contacts them again to know where all the money has gone

07:25and gets very angry when she hears their reasoning because they missed the point, by using JoJo's

07:29cosmetics brand, they had already cleaned the money. Now they must sell everything they bought as soon

07:33as possible and put it back in the bank in small amounts per day. When Rick comes back from his

07:37latest

07:38business trip, he notices the new TV Connie has bought, so she tells him she's gotten a sales job and

07:42that she doesn't use coupons anymore. This greatly pleases Rick, who calls her a new wife, which makes

07:47Connie even sure to go through the treatment with a donor's seat. In the meantime, Ken and Simon are

07:52interrogating all the cashiers in the area, asking for any clients with coupon obsessions. When they

07:57get to Greg, they find the information they need, he doesn't know Connie's name, but he gives them her

08:01description and mentions her two pennies motto, which Ken remembers having seen on the website.

08:06The next day, they go to the local post office to see if any of the workers knows anything about

08:10a

08:10coupon blonde. Nobody remembers Connie, but when they hear the word coupons, they snitch on Earl because he

08:15always was watching JoJo's saving tips on YouTube. Back to the duo, selling all their stuff on eBay is

08:21becoming too hard because there's so much of it. When they go to a cafe for a drink they find

08:25two

08:25men from a gun club, so they get their club's address and visit it later with all their weapons

08:29for sale. JoJo makes an amazing sales pitch but the leader still refuses to buy them, so the duo

08:34agrees to make them a good discount if they buy them all, sealing the deal. Ken and Simon interrogate

08:39Earl in private, but he refuses to give them any information. Once he's released, he goes to JoJo's

08:44house. There, he leaves her a note in an envelope disguised as regular mail among the bills which

08:48Josie takes without understanding how important it is. What Earl doesn't know is that Ken and Simon

08:53have followed him there, and now they'll do surveillance outside the house for as long as

08:56they need. Night has fallen by the time JoJo comes home, and the men realize this is the black woman

09:01the

09:02housewife had seen on that YouTube video, when JoJo comes out of her car and begins dancing in the

09:06middle of her driveway to celebrate the amazing deal she made earlier. The next morning, JoJo is

09:11distracted by an argument with Josie and pays no attention to the mail, so she drives to the

09:15stash house as usual. Ken and Simon follow her there and see Connie as well, realizing she's

09:20the blonde from Greg's description. Simon gathers other postal inspectors to begin the operation

09:24properly, and now they have more details, it's very easy for them to find Connie's and JoJo's

09:29identities, especially when they show a picture to Greg and he confirms it. Later that night, JoJo can't

09:34sleep, so after checking on her mom, she goes to the kitchen to get a snack. That's when she

09:39finally finds Earl's note urging her to leave town, but it's too late, Simon arrives with his

09:43men and arrests Connie, JoJo, and Josie. After their homes and the stash house are raided,

09:48the arrest appears on the news, and Earl is surprised to see JoJo's face on TV. When the

09:53interrogations begin, Rick and Josie quickly say they had nothing to do with it and accept

09:57to cooperate with the authorities. JoJo tries to play the innocent card and pretends she doesn't

10:01know what they're talking about, but they've found her videos on her computer. Connie on the

10:05other hand, admits her crime, but she's shocked to hear that they may be facing 40 years to life

10:10for fraud. If she takes full responsibility for starting all of it, they'll go easier on JoJo,

10:14so Connie accepts the deal. JoJo is released on bail, she thinks Josie paid it, but it was actually

10:20Earl, who is waiting for her outside with flowers. Sadly, Connie isn't as lucky, Rick only visits her to

10:25scold her and refuses to pay the bail, so Connie asks for a divorce. The investigation continues and the

10:31inspectors trace the coupons back to Alejandro and Rosa, but by the time they discover this,

10:36the couple has already disappeared. Since the trail has gone cold, the Mexican government won't

10:40go after them. Connie hires a rather expensive lawyer, and this proves to be the right decision.

10:45On the day of the trial, the lawyer convinces everyone that Connie and JoJo just made use of

10:49a loophole the same way corporations do all the time. His tactic is a success and JoJo gets 10 days

10:54in

10:54prison plus one year of probation, while Connie gets 11 months in jail with the possibility of parole.

10:59Simon and Ken aren't happy with this result and demand answers from the state attorney,

11:03who explains the judge went easy on the women because the brands on the coupons pressed for

11:07leniency to avoid bad press. For such megacorporations, the 80 million dollars this scam

11:12cost them is just pocket change. Now the case is over, Simon must leave, but first, he tells Ken he's

11:18a good man and he's glad to have worked with him, but he also needs to dial down the attitude

11:21a little.

11:22As days pass, everyone's lives change. Ken begins being a little nicer, making exceptions for old

11:27clients with fake coupons and finally gathering the courage to make a profile on a dating app.

11:32Connie gets the divorce she wanted and the fertility treatment turns out to be a success,

11:35so she spends her months in prison with a big pregnant belly. The authorities take most of

11:40the scam's earnings, but luckily, they ignore the boxes in the nursery thinking it's just food,

11:44so JoJo gets to rescue those boxes, knowing Connie has been hiding cash in them all along.

11:49After getting together with Earl, he and JoJo move to Montenegro, a non-extradition country,

11:53to start a new scam under another cosmetics brand, waiting for Connie to come over when

11:58she's finally freed so they can work together again.
