FAKE Reviews

Many IMDb users absolutely abhor when filmmakers populate their film's page with one fake review after another.

Myself included.

I was able to find only two reviewers that had credible accounts prior to their review of this film and had posted something since then. And both those reviews were NOT as stellar as all the numerous 9-10 star reviews with exclamation points. There are some questionable board posts as well; my fave being the one-time poster who looks forward to "purchasing the DVD" as soon as it's available.

It is become clear that the vast majority of positive reviews for Muffin Top: A Love Story were posted by new accounts around the time the film was released and there has been no activity on those accounts since. It's essentially IMDb "cat-fishing" to boost interest in one's film.

Please. Regular IMDb users are not stupid. I came here for an honest assessment of the film before potentially streaming on Netflix. However, I will now avoid this film as it is obviously lacking if the filmmakers (and perhaps their family & friends) need to post so many fake reviews. I can understand an unsolicited one from grandma or a neighbor, but this many? A film should stand on its own merit.

Shame on you.
