Seth Green + Shawn Fanning + Spider-Man = Good Movie Made Great

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2003)

Well, it wasn't anything original or never seen before, but it was a lot of fun. I was worried the Napster joke was going to get old quick, but it stayed fresh, and it was nice to see Shawn Fanning again. Seth Green's Lyle (The Napster) is the greatest character in the movie, and his VO of Handsome Rob and Becky from the car is the funniest scene in the movie. He steals every scene he is in. Also...there's a quick cameo from Spider-Man! Blink and you'll miss it! Right when the guys are blowing up the ground to get the truck, there's a quick shot of him. Good stuff, enjoyable popcorn that is most definitely worth seeing. My only complaint is that the most talented actor in the cast (Edward Norton) is given the least interesting character, made especially disappointing since the villain is usually supposed to be more interesting than the hero. Unfortunately, Mark Wahlberg's "hero" also falls somewhat flat, but you'll be having too much fun to really notice until later.
