"Anybody working in a garage can put us out of business," he frets, and he's right. The movie uses a thinly disguised fictional version of Bill Gates as his hero-so thinly, I'm surprised they didn't protect against libel by having the villain wear a name tag saying, "Hi!

What are we to make of a brainy nerd hero who fears his girlfriend is trying to kill him by adding sesame seeds to the Chinese food, and administers a quick allergy test at a romantic dinner by scratching himself with a fork and rubbing on some of the brown sauce?

They might have been able to make a nice little thriller out of "Antitrust" if they'd kept one eye on the Goofy Meter.
