Mystery Shopping Movie

How would mystery shopping be portrayed in the movies? I believe it would be something like this.
Title: Seven years a MF Slave.
Storyline: Loosely based on the life of the shopper who was mysteriously murdered a few years ago.
Actor: Tom Hanks with a scruffy beard like he had in Cast Away.

A friend watched an Italian film he claims was about a hotel mystery shopper -- although the blurb calls her a "critic." I'll get around to seeing it one of these days as it is on Amazon Prime. [www.rottentomatoes.com]
Yep, A Five-Star Life. Great movie (IMHO).
Great movie, a product placement one for a certain hotel chain. It was amusing to see the shopper's questionnaire and report form on her computer. Definitely realistic in terms of MSing that caliber of hotel.
A movie about a mystery shopper. Nah, that wouldn't be boring at all. Yawn.

It might need a bit of spicing up. @SteveSoCal sleazy massage parlor stories could form the basis of some scenes.
Yes!! The movie can be about the Zero-Star life!
I have read some books in a mystery shopping series by Kate Harrison. I am sure someone will make a mystery shopping movie sometime. It will be as good as all the other cosy mysteries on TV.
Flower shop mysteries, Garage sale mysteries, etc. etc.

When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.

Watch the TV series, "Mystery Diners," to get an idea how a mystery shopping movie would go.
