There are some true stories so absurd, they’re practically begging for a movie. However, when they do make it to the screen, they don't stand out for their outrageous punchline, but rather what they expose, as seen with James McAvoy’s directorial debut, California Schemin’. In the early 2000s, Scottish rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd couldn’t get a respectable ear from the British music industry and were laughed out of rooms, labeled the “rapping Proclaimers.” But they pulled an identity heist while reinventing themselves as Californian MCs, “Silibil N’ Brains” and hustling their way into record deals, MTV slots, and even an opening gig for D12. That is, until it all caught up with them.
