Reality television just doesn't get much better than this
I debated between 4 and 5 stars on this one and finally decided on 5 because this movie/documentary was just that good. The film has a "Real World" style and feel to it and the drama that unfolds when two friends breath life into an Internet startup company will keep you glued to the screen. Success comes swiftly and the cameras are right there to capture the deals, the frustrations and, perhaps even most exciting, the moments where friendships collide with business relationships.There are no actors in this film. These are the real people and the cameras were in on meetings, waking people up in the morning, riding in the car with them, listening in on their phone conversations and pretty much everything else in order to give an accurate picture of what was going on in the creation and management of govWorks.com.Startup.com gives you an inside look into the inner workings of not only the company, but the personal lives and thoughts of its founders. You'll see their ups and downs, laughter and tears, triumphs and ultimate failures. Reality television just doesn't get much better than this.
