It was a period where the extreame greed of the venture capitalists and investment bankers ruined many lives. And this documentary captures it all in fine detail. It is too bad that a startup can no longer borrow the money they need from banks. No, nowadays everything has to be huge or venture capitalists won't even look at it. The IPO scams perpetuated by the VCs really leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

This paints a pretty good portrait of the naivety of the "best and the brightest" who were fooled by the hopes of the biggest get-rich-quick scheme ever perpetrated. govworks.com was actually a fairly good idea that became too big, too quick, as so many other internet ideas did. A better documentary on the internet craze is e-dreams, not offered on Blockbuster.

This movie had extremely minimal replay value: and less initial viewing value. The impression I got from it was that it was a way to tell the viewers about how much the lead character wanted to come out to his best friend who was married and leave his girlfriend behind. I have seen the story in this lifetime many times & that is all this movie was about. Oh yes, and the initial story about the company's failure was just a reminder to me of how many people out there really get a good chance and blow it with horrible decisions & bad management - yes, I know I could have done better, Haha : )
