Buffaloed

Buffaloed is a 2019 American crime comedy drama film directed by Tanya Wexler and written by Brian Sacca.

Disappointed in her family's financial situation and inspired by her late father's tendency to hustle, she looks for ways to make money.

When Peg gets into a good college but can't afford it, she begins selling counterfeit tickets to Bills games.

The next morning Peg announces she's going to start her own debt collection business, but legit, based on intel Graham provided her.

Uniting the citywide collection agencies at J.J.'s bar, Peg gets them on tape confessing some of their shadier business practices while their offices are raided by the cops.

In July 2018, it was announced Zoey Deutch and Jermaine Fowler had joined the cast of the film, with Tanya Wexler directing from a screenplay by Brian Sacca.

The website's critics consensus reads, "This late-capitalism comedy is undeniably uneven, but Zoey Deutch's effervescent performance gives Buffaloed wings.

In her review for The Los Angeles Times, Kimber Myers applauded Deutch's performance, saying she "immediately takes the audience hostage in the opening moments of Buffaloed [...] the actress owns this sharp comedy — and everyone watching — playing the type of character we still don’t see that often on screen.

Concluding her review of the film, O'Malley wrote, ""Buffaloed" is refreshing in how it challenges these norms, and in so doing, gives Deutch—who has already proven her comedic acting chops in Everybody Wants Some!

[16] TheWrap's Elizabeth Weitzman was more critical of the film, calling it "uneven",[17] while The New York Times' Jeannette Catsoulis penned "Simultaneously rowdy and slick, Buffaloed is exuberantly paced and entirely dependent on Deutch’s moxie and pell-mell performance"[18] Praising Greer, Kristy Strouse of Film Inquiry remarked, "Greer, who has proven to always be counted on in any role, is wonderful", and praised her "compelling" chemistry with Deutch, while Carla Renata of The Curvy Film Critic felt that Greer "flips her comedy prowess upside down while tackling a more serious role with verve and power.
