Not Fall-Down-Funny, But Entertaining, November 14, 2011
This review is from: Believe (DVD)
In this story, Adam Pendon is laid off with no job prospects and a baby due any day now. He encounters Mark, who encourages him to get involved in "Believe"--a network marketing company. Despite minimal effort on their part, Adam and his wife begin to make a lot of money and are named True Believers in the company after only three months. This rubs Mark, who has been invested in the company for 3 years but has yet to see a dime, the wrong way.
Adam's experience is the main storyline in this mockumentary, but three other couples' experiences are also followed through faux interviews. Overall, it's a good movie and does have some very funny moments. But, for me, it was also a tad depressing due to the fact that so many real-life people get sucked into these stupid pyramid schemes and lose money and relationships as a result. So, I found it a little bit sad for that reason. Still, for sheer entertainment value, it is worth seeing at least once.

Not bad for the price. Family-friendly. You probably have friends who tried to sell you stuff like this in the 80's and 90's.
Be aware it's not widescreen though.

FUNNY, July 31, 2010
This review is from: Believe (DVD)
This was a good funny family film. If you have ever been involved with a multilevel marketing scheme, or been bothered (harassed) by family members or friends involved in the latest and greatest multilevel scheme you will love this movie. I about died laughing during the movie. This movie is a mocumentary style movie like "Best in Show" and "Waiting for Guffman". I recommend watching this.
