2023

I liked this more than I thought since I tend to not care for tech startup movies. Glenn Howerton was the main character here, but not for out-acting Jay Baruchel or Matt Johnson (who I’ve come to really like in everything I’ve seen of his), just because his huge overexaggeration (so I read) of Jim Balsillie was hilarious. I also knew way less of the RIM story than I thought and I’m now inclined to check out the book this was based on. A good pairing with Air (2023) to the twin movies list.

★★★½
