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.

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.
