Would you boycott this film?

Jesse Eisenberg's new slacker comedy about a Pizza delivery man who is strapped to a bomb and forced to rob a bank.

The family of Brian Welles a Pizza Delivery man who was strapped to a bomb and made to rob a bank in Erie PA is calling for a boycott of the film because of how close to home it hits.

    I can understand that man being upset with it, but I personally would not boycott it.

    @Meg - I'm sorry, I didn't click on that link until after I had answered and I didn't know the man died. I'm sure his family is very upset about this. I'm not going to watch it, for a lack of personal interest and out of respect for that man, but I would not boycott it. I'm 14, I don't think boycotting would work too well, coming from me.

    No thank you - even the local news had stated that this film was too similar not to be based off the pizza bomber case - even needing the money to kill the father for the inheritance

    did the movie include a dead body in the freezer?

    Absolutely. I see lots of movies, but I will not see this movie because it's a comedy based on the tragic death of a real person. The producers claim they didn't know that when they wrote. There's far too much of the plot based on the real life incident for them to really try to claim they didn't know it actually happened. The movie is disgusting.

    i've seen the commercials for the movie, and i'll give it a pass; it looks incredibly stupid

    i remember the story from the news, and i can certainly understand the family's feelings about it, especially since what tragically happened to their loved one has been turned into a lame comedy for the amusement of the ignorant

    I refuse to watch it for that reason.

    Edit- that man cannot be upset with it because he is dead! The family is upset

  • 10 years ago

    Yes. I will never watch the film any form because this is not my type of entertainment.
