Every character in this film was beyond stupid!

Gee that's funny. You do realize that this was based on a true story? I'm sure the families of the dead really appreciate you saying that about them.

Obama stinks and I'm personally sick he won.

Some parts of the movie were fictionalized if that makes you feel any better. LOL. I wish they had just left the story alone, it would have been fine to follow the book.

Things that didn't actually happen:

Pat's affair with the man in the wheelchair. (She did have an affair with a married man, but he was a wealthy guy in politics and much older than her. His real name isn't even in the book.)

Pat did not kill a woman she worked for (when she posed as a nurse). She did work for an elderly couple posing as a nurse and it is believed she poisoned the man and he died, but the wife of the man would not let the police pursue the matter when it was brought up. Pat and her one daughter did steal from them, though, as is shown in the movie.

Pat didn't kill Tom's grandmother but tried to. Both of Tom's grandparents were poisoned but survived the attacks and lived for several more years. Pat went to jail for the attempted murders though.

Pat didn't have a sister. The sister in the movie was a stand in for her daughter, because her daughter is who she poisoned in real life. The part about her brother is somewhat accurate, although Pat did not kill him if that was what they were suggesting. It was a suicide.

Pat's mom did not die when she was young. Pat's mother and stepfather were who she lived with most of the time, and they are not even in the film. They were a large part of the real story.

There was much more with Tom & his parents they left out of the film, too.

There are probably other things too but I don't remember, as I only saw the movie when it premiered but I am familiar with the book on the case.
