what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

SPOILERS ! I hadn't realized that Hillblom had any kids...acc to wikipedia, four of the eight kids that sued actually WERE his own children. Co-founded DHL. Some weirdness about his disappearance. Currently showing on Popcorn Channel. Narration by the people involved - friends and lawyers -- Bob O'Connor, Joe Waechter, Bob Lujan, Mike Dotts. Ironic that Hillblom had already had one plane crash. and flew older planes too. mostly well done. Interviews with lots of people involved. Directed by Alexis Spraic, who does mostly documentaries. Produced by Bunim Murray, which has done many reality shows ie. Real World, Kardashian, Lohan, Project Runway. Pretty good entertainment! They all pretty much say "we're not sure what's going on, but everyone is trying to grab a piece of the cash." if it all works out, the UCSF will get some of his estate, but the courts will have to figure out which kids are Larry's first!

Larry Hilblom co-founded DHL became wealthy then semi-retired to Saipan where he dabbled in a diverse array of businesses, aviation, and secretly fathering illegitimate children. Lacking a pilot's license and surviving a serious plane crash did not deter Larry from the skies. He figured if you survive one crash then you have a free pass the rest of your life. He figured wrong. Died in a plane crash. His will directed all his monies to be managed by a foundation with the principal beneficiary the University of California. Numerous island mothers from near and far soon came out of the woodwork claiming a piece of Larry's fortune for their son/daughter of Hilblom. And the race was on. Very interesting story, told well.
