Folks, last Friday the 13th (ironically enough), my Mrs. as part of an early Father's Day gift to me rented this movie through youtube.  My son and I both watched it, and while it was an amusing film, there were so many inaccuracies and it left me feeling rather disappointed.  It was like I was having a fever dream.

I will say the casting of all 3 contestants was VERY well done.  The actor portraying Peter Tomarken was meh and rather phony sounding to me.  The voice of Rod Roddy sounded nothing at all like Rod.  I realize movie creators take on some artistically based licenses but this movie was just way out.

And while we have spent $6.99 in far worse ways in our life, we have also spent $6.99 in far better ways too.  I felt like this movie was a real dud as they got so many things wrong as far as what actually happened.  Too many scenes where the viewer was expected to suspend all disbelief.  I would not recommend this film at all.  Save your money and your time!

Guess you weren't paying attention when we were saying OVER and OVER again before the movie came out that the movie wasn't going to come CLOSE to actual events.

Correct.
