Wayne Beering and Buck Dolby are drugged out geniuses with lots of ideas but they can never seem to get their act together. When they come up with the idea to create a porn site – and charge for it (the first ever site to do so), their idea may be too lucrative for them to handle. Straight-laced business man, Jack Harris, is brought in to team up with them and turn their profitable idea into a legit business.
Even Though this movie was inspired by true events, it is interesting to think that pornography industry helped shape internet commerce, as we know it today. This is a period of history that a lot of people may not be entirely aware of and we know that the words “inspired by true events” means that we need to take the movie with a grain of salt.
With the non-linear story line and the pace of the film you might find yourself getting a little lost if you don’t pay any attention. There was an amazing cast, Giovanni Ribisi and Gabriel Macht seemed to effortlessly feed off each other. I was surprised to find that I was actually impressed by Luke Wilson’s performance. In the other movies that I have seen him he had always seemed to be a little too detached, but that seem be exactly what was needed.
