I actually remember reading the Rolling Stone article (Arms and the Dudes - also the film's original title) - though not the full book that followed. In any case, though certain liberties are certainly taken with this true story, it is still enjoyable and Miles Teller and Jonah Hill have a great time with their respective roles. I think the movie could have sent a more powerful message, rather than have fun, but overall, it's not a bad film and, once again, proves that real life provides infinitely more surreal and maddening stories than anyone could try to fabricate.
