The plot is inspired by true events and is definitely interesting due to its telling about one of the most famous media scams in history. Richard Gere stars as Clifford Irving and is supported by other valuable actors, such as Alfred Molina and Hope Davis; the film is not exceptional and deliberately jarring but facts it is based upon are relevant and add details to Howard Hughes life - we knew about watching another first-rate flick, "The Aviator". I think "The Hoax" is quite exciting because these events were funny but exceptional - no bogus interview had been so much advertised - and also for its showing Gere stepping away from his usual roles.
