Rips off School Ties so much it's frightening


This actually really freaked me out. The storyline is eerily similar to School Ties with a few different themes, but that's not what scared me.

The thing that got me is that they hired a Matt Damon look alike to play the same character Damon played in School Ties, a highly privileged spoiled brat with a powerful father. Not only that, but they named him Dillon, the same as in School Ties! Even at the end of RV, they have the Matt Damon look alike give the same speech that Matt Damon gives to Brendan Fraser at the end of School Ties.

RV was obviously toned down and was pretty tame compared to School Ties but the whole Matt Damon thing was really twisted, and not in a good way.

this particular movie is based on an actual event that happened. whatever similarities it has to school ties is coincidental.

Prob cause these acts happen more than once over generations. I'm sure a lot of School Ties was taken by some one real life experience.
