The movie opens with the amusing disclaimer, “There are parts of the truth you can’t make up. The rest, we did,” so you can never be too sure how much of the film is factual. The real Ty Warner eventually pled guilty to felony tax evasion, although that crime isn’t nearly as interesting as the charges leveled against him here.
