1156 - The Hoax


Clifford Irving has the biggest balls, that's for sure. I'm a fan of storytellers who take something known and tweak it, and this could be one of the most famous cases of that, especially since the person was real. Kudos to him for that. As a film it's enjoyable, but probably forgettable. All of the performances are good, it's a good cast. It just feels like part of that bio-pic machine that makes you wonder at what point we're going to run out of 'real life stories' to tell. God knows since theres a film out now about the guy who invented the modern windshield wiper, that the guy who introduced two-ply toilet paper can't be too far behind.
