Owen Gleiberman is a film critic for EW
A documentary that packs more dramatic wallop than virtually any fiction feature this year. Filmmakers Chris Hegedus and Jehane Noujaim trace the path of two naively ambitious young dotcom entrepreneurs: the high-fiving, charismatically bullheaded Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and his nerdish, compartmentalized tech-head partner, Tom Herman. There's a frantic, often very funny element of instability to the way that these young men's fantasies of mega-success appear to be driving their business plan, rather than the other way around. Startup.com could be to our time what Wall Street was to the '80s -- a defining myth of capitalist excess.
