80A great film and an important one.
-
60Everybody loves a David and Goliath story, and this one is told almost entirely from David's point of view.
-
60Moore's film is unusually sharp looking for this sort of documentary, and comes complete with a nice soundtrack. But most important, it's as comprehensible as any "Dummies" guide, something even non-techies can enjoy.
-
38It is a boring parade of talking heads and technical gibberish that will do little to advance the Linux cause. Try again, guys.
