Queenpins (2021)
Connie is a lonely suburban housewife whose only satisfaction comes from her extreme couponing habit. When she realizes that people will pay her for "free item" coupons, she (along with a friend) figures out how to procure them in bulk to sell online. The fun really starts when a righteous loss-prevention agent realizes that something's not right and eventually gets the post office involved.
I was really entertained by this. It's interesting and well-paced and really succeeds in the couplings on both sides of the law. Kristen Bell & Kirby are believable "opposites attract" buddies who have complementary skills to pull of this scam. But the real fun is in the team of Vince Vaughn and Paul Walter Hauser as the postal inspector and loss-prevention agent. Though Hauser's role could've been over-the-top, he made me really root for this weird little guy.
