Who Are These People?
I wasn't expecting much from this movie except a few rehashed lessons about the dot-com fallout. For the people who think the business was flawed to begin with, look at EZGov; they're still in business (sadly, the principal competitor featured in the film died tragically). The main characters in the film aren't exactly likeable. Kaleil comes off as arrogant, a backslapping rah-rah kind of manager. Tom comes off as a new age sensitive, let's sing Cumbaya in the woods guy. Every scene with the two of them is a love-fest, even the ones where they're at each other's throats. None of them seem too concerned about having the best product. The only guy I can respect is the "third founder" - the one who sold out at the very beginning.
