Netflix fans hail underrated film starring Kristen Bell and Vince Vaughn as 'comedic perfection'

People are flooding to social media after watching a movie of 'comedic perfection' released onto Netflix.

It's a Sunday, you've had a long week at work and it feels like the 100th week of January. However, don't fret, the end is in sight so, why not celebrate in the best way how?

By that, I mean by settling down, grabbing some snacks and watching a movie, which people are saying is the perfect 'lazy day' watch, and it's just come onto Netflix.

The film was first released in 2021 and was directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly.

And it stars the likes of Heroes' Kristen Bell, Wedding Crashers' Vince Vaughn, The Good Place's Kirby Howell-Baptiste and singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha.

Based on a true story of a real-life couponing scam, the film's official synopsis reads: "A housewife and her friend come up with a scheme to scam millions from big conglomerates through coupons. A loss prevention officer teams up with a postal inspector to track them."

It was classified as a flop at the box office with Paramount+ and Showtime having bid on the rights to the film for over $20 million, as per Deadline, and it only going on to make around $1.2 million upon release.

Kicking it down even further, it also has a meagre Rotten Tomatoes score - 48 percent on the tomatometer - but since coming onto Netflix, it's finding new life, achieving a commendable 82 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Wow y’all fake for not telling me Queenpins dropped on Netflix I love Kristen Bell bout to watch all now," a fourth wrote.

And a final resolved: "Queenpins on Netflix was a happy dose of comedic perfection."
