It's the class everyman vs. heartless corporate America - and it's true. Greg Kinnear is good in the role, but despite the subject matter, the movie lacks weight. Still, it's a great look into the mindset of corporations and determination.

I liked it. It was an average movie. Nothing spectacular about it. But, nothing particularly bad about it either. It does have some good actors in it.
