More details about Queenpins and where you can watch

The movie is based on one of the largest counterfeit coupon scams in American history. While the film presents the story as a lighthearted comedy, the real-life operation generated tens of millions of dollars in fraudulent coupons. The filmmakers chose humor over a traditional crime-drama approach, making the story accessible and entertaining while still rooted in actual events. Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste’s chemistry became one of the movie’s biggest strengths, especially since audiences already loved their previous work together on The Good Place. The film also pays unusual attention to the work of postal inspectors and retail fraud investigators, professions rarely highlighted in Hollywood movies.
