Co-starring Judy Greer, Jermaine Fowler, and Jai Courtney, “Buffaloed” is set in the city it takes its name from and center on a young girl obsessed with making enough cash to get out of her blue-collar existence (Deutch). Betting on her sharp mind—and even sharper mouth—to get her into an Ivy League university, Deutch’s Peg Dahl character then has to hustle if she ever hopes to pay off the expensive tuition for the university she’s been accepted into.
This is a film that Bernie Sanders and or his supporters would seemingly love, as it really talks about the wage gap, the 99% hustling for basic rights and the hardship that is living in today’s America. Here’s the official synopsis:

Buffalo is the debt collection capital of America, though Peg Dahl (Zoey Deutch) never saw herself in that world. She’s bet on her sharp mind—and even sharper mouth—to get her out of town and into an Ivy League university. But when an acceptance letter to the school of her dreams arrives, she quickly realizes the cruel impossibility of paying tuition. A chance phone call changes everything and leads her into the lucrative yet complex and shady business of delinquent debt collection. She’s a natural and soon running her own shop, but at what cost? Also starring Judy Greer, Jai Courtney and Jermaine Fowler, BUFFALOED is a hilarious and timely comedy about one woman rewriting the rules of The Man’s game.
Magnolia Pictures releases “Buffaloed” on February 14, 2020. Watch the first trailer below.
