Biggest Swing

The film peaks when Peg builds her legitimate business but crashes when the family drama becomes contrived and overwrought.

Buffaloed starts strong with Zoey Deutch's energetic performance and an engaging look at debt collection, reaching its peak when Peg builds her own company. However, reviewers felt the script lost focus in the second half, becoming too contrived and failing to develop Peg's moral arc convincingly. Despite these flaws, the film maintains enough charm and authenticity about Buffalo culture to remain watchable.
