IMDb plot summary: Local Pennsylvania polka legend Jan Lewan develops a plan to get rich that shocks his fans and lands him in jail.
Directed by Maya Forbes. Starring Jack Black, Jenny Slate, Jason Schwartzman, and Jacki Weaver.
I knew nothing at all about this real life person and found this story of his life pretty fascinating, if extremely forgiving of someone defrauding people out of their money. Jack Black creates a really relatable character here, hitting on both the lighter and darker moments of his psyche. It's an entertaining movie.
