Zoey Deutch in Buffaloed (2019)
Buffalo is the debt collection capital of America, though Peg Dahl never saw herself in that world. She's bet on her sharp mind, and even sharper mouth, to get her out of town and into an Ivy League university. But when an acceptance letter to the school of her dreams arrives, she quickly realizes the cruel impossibility of paying tuition. A chance phone call changes everything and leads her into the lucrative yet complex and shady business of delinquent debt collection. She's a natural and soon running her own shop, but at what cost?

    Pretty good debt collector film

    Very enjoyable acting is superb and story is mediocre. Zoey Duetch is so entertaining I absolutely love her style! Buffaloed is a bit stale, definitely starts well and slows down like others said. I like the way it was written and how wild it is!

    Started off Strong and Interesting

    But like other reviewers have said, the plot just fell apart. This movie had some potential to be really clever and hit a home run, but it fell short of the mark. I thought Zoey Deutch did a great job. She is a great actress.

    Good Start But Finishing?

    Enjoyed the acting; subject matter; spoofing of Buffalo. Started interesting, but about half way it just plateaued & felt too contrived. Central character never really developed a moral hook for me. The credits mentioned $13 trillion National Debt w/medical & student listed as most prevalent. Those numbers are for 2018, now the National Debt (mid 2020) is $25 trillion (and growing), and for consumer debt (movie listed 71 million people, but now 137 million). It's largely home payments followed by medical then student & car & credit card. Paying it all off (half is owned by foreign interests) is left to future generations courtesy of Trump (in part Covid necessary; in part tax breaks for wealthy; in part for re-election).

    A different underdog story

    This film is quite entertaining, as it is a different kind of underdog story mixed with romantic comedy elements. The story is quite engaging. I enjoyed watching it.

    Starts off OK, storyline not sustainable and gets boring by the last 30-40 mins

    I like Zoey and she does a decent job throughout, but the storyline is not that compelling and falls apart sometime in the middle. Reasonable enjoyable for the first act or two. Scene where they all stop to watch a play in the game is excellent. Easily skipable movie.

    • Trivia
      Most of the suits Peg wears were purchased at Goodwill.
    • Goofs
      Peg's second arrest booking number has the same digits as her first booking photograph, but rearranged. It seems the prop person just scrambled the numerals for the second scene, ignoring the fact that most booking numbers are sequential. In other words, police departments will just add one each time a new person is booked. As a result, the difference between the two numbers is nearly four million bookings over a period of about four years in a city of under 300,000 people. Not even Buffalo could be THAT bad.
    • Quotes

      [in a slide presentation to her mom]

      Young Peg: Buffalo, New York. The epicentre of the rust belt. A city whose favorite meal is a discarded chicken part. A city hopelessly dedicated to a staple of disappointment.
