I thought the same thing at first, until I realized that the promotions about how it was based on real events were actually meant to be taken seriously. I thought it was just some cheap marketing gimmick at first - and, well, obviously it still is, but I didn't realize the studio was actually seriously attempting to convince people this was real. I figured everyone would understand that it's a marketing gimmick, that this was a whole tongue-in-cheek thing, but not, they actually attempted to pawn this off as real in a serious manner.
