Rating: - The Search for a Cure. . . . . .
"Based on an Untrue Story" is a hilarious spoof of all those "Disease of the Week" and "Ripped From the Headlines" TV movies we have all been subjected to over the years.

It is the story of Satin Chow, played by Morgan Fairchild, a young executive at Varda Gray Cosmetics, run by Dyan Cannon. During the press conference held to launch a new perfume, Satin is suddenly struck by Anosmia, a little-known but insidious disorder of the ollfactory nerves. The only cure is to have an ollfactory nerve transplant, but the donor must be a blood relative. To complicate matters, Satin finds out that she was adopted at birth, and that the family she thought was her real family, isn't.

She does, however, also find out that when she was born, she was part of a set of triplets. At once she sets out to find her long-lost siblings and her real mother, hoping that one of them will be a match as a donor. She hires a private detective who tracks down her sisters and also discovers that her mother died in childbirth.

If you are looking for a video to provide non-sensical fun, I highly recommend "Based on an Untrue Story".
