Buffalo is the debt collection capital of America, though Peg Dahl never saw herself in that world. She's bet on her sharp mind, and even sharper mouth, to get her out of town and into an Ivy League university. But when an acceptance letter to the school of her dreams arrives, she quickly realizes the cruel impossibility of paying tuition. A chance phone call changes everything and leads her into the lucrative yet complex and shady business of delinquent debt collection. She's a natural and soon running her own shop, but at what cost?

Trivia
Most of the suits Peg wears were purchased at Goodwill.

Goofs
Peg's second arrest booking number has the same digits as her first booking photograph, but rearranged. It seems the prop person just scrambled the numerals for the second scene, ignoring the fact that most booking numbers are sequential. In other words, police departments will just add one each time a new person is booked. As a result, the difference between the two numbers is nearly four million bookings over a period of about four years in a city of under 300,000 people. Not even Buffalo could be THAT bad.

Quotes
[in a slide presentation to her mom]
Young Peg: Buffalo, New York. The epicentre of the rust belt. A city whose favorite meal is a discarded chicken part. A city hopelessly dedicated to a staple of disappointment.

A different underdog story

This film is quite entertaining, as it is a different kind of underdog story mixed with romantic comedy elements. The story is quite engaging. I enjoyed watching it.
