Big Shots

and that 'all in one' doesn't work!

the problem with this movie isn't the story but how the producers put it together! it's as if they didn't have enough conviction to the story as it actually happened. you discover at the end of the movie that the story is based on an actual event.

i do so wish they had stuck with the chronological telling of the two brothers and their quest through cell phones and credit cards to become wealthy. which actually happens, but that part of the story is squeezed between 'relationships' with other people and comic scenes.

Devane really doesn't add anything to the acting. it just stumbles along then you discover that they go broke but the girl stays. big deal.

i think they missed an opportunity to make a compelling story of overly ambitious people in both the private business world and government regulators.

I really love this film. True, inspiring stories of two kids who never got to go to college or business school, but chased their dreams anyway. (Unexpected twist at the end & I won't share any spoilers). Fantastic cast including Jeremy London! This film also goes under the title "Big Shots".

A Film Well Done

Went to the screening and loved the story. I am a fan of true stories and this one was good. It's a little different from most because this was about two brothers who start a company with nothing and turn it into a company with over 300 employees. Many of their friends joined them who had no experience in the industry. How'd they do that? They pulled so many stupid and funny pranks on each other (I guess twenty year old's will do that). It also had a recognizable cast. I remember Ryan Hurst from Remember the Titans and Jeremy London from Party of Five. William Devane is always great. The music is also good (love that .38 special song!). After watching these two brothers build this multi-million dollar company and then get treated very badly by the government (and stripped of millions) made me wonder what they'll do next. Definitely a film worth watching.

10/10, The lead actor Paul Zeylikman's performance brings a unique twist to the classical story of a young child with a propensity for gardening. Hoping for an encore!

This is a very entertaining movie, especially if you remember the '90s. It's a reminder of how exciting things were back then, with the new tech and before things went crazy here. The soundtrack is first-rate, and Jeremy London is fantastic, as is Ryan Hurst and William Devane. In fact, there are no weak performances. The film deals with two brothers who basically took on the business world and came out winners, which ticked off the big boys in the industry, who came after them with guns blazing. Devane is wonderful, as always. Any chance to see this great actor should be taken advantage of. And Heather McComb is lovely as always. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it that much more interesting. A really entertaining film, you won't be disappointed!
