    Outstanding picture. Really covers the arc of the phenomenon well. More detail on the actual business would have helped the film, but it is emotionally captivating nontheless.

    It's not interesting until you realize that you've been watching in for 130 minutes.

    Pretty rancid for a movie about a dot.com failure. Kaleil is unimpressive as both an actor and businessman. He should retire from both careers and try to find another niche where his personality might fit--accounting perhaps?

    A good example of (1) how not to run a business; (2) how not to run a friendship; and (3) how to make a compelling documentary (much as this is a good example of how to make numbered lists).

    Nimbly documents the rise and fall of a Web company through its charismatic leaders.

    The filmmakers no doubt had a hell of a time whittling the material down; unfortunately, what they came up with was something long on the mundaneness of GovWorks.com and short on the personalities behind it.

    With no easy heroes or villains, Startup.com can be a Rorschach test for viewers.
