I knew this flick would dump on mlm, and I went to see it with high hopes because I figured if nothing else, we’d promote it to all New Schoolers as a way to tell their prospects: This is how we do NOT do this business.
But alas, the old style revival meetings depicted in the movie, based on the director’s Amway experiences years ago, were so dated - they represent a bygone era. No doubt some people still act this way, but we are no longer the naive audiences of 20 years ago. It’s a much more skeptical marketplace today and there’s no way anyone but the most backwards of folks would fall for the stuff shown in the movie.

I found the movie very accurate. I depicted verbatem my experiences in PrePaid Legal and the meeting reflect the local Alticore meetings in my town.

I found it really accurate also. Of coarse it doesn’t encompass all network marketing ploys and manerisims, but it certainly rung true in a general sense for the industry.
