Nice try but no cigar.

""The First $20 Million..." is an easy-going comedy with a romantic bent which sticks Garcia out in front as a computer geek who aspires to be another Steve Jobs by working with some other geeks who are trying to build a $99 computer....er, something like that. A happy-go-nowhere little flick which is too uncool for the young demographic and too young for adults, I'm guessing it's a movie in search of a market. Hard to swallow and hard to follow with laughs which are too few and too far between, "The First $20 Million..." is an uninspired albeit earnest novel knoc..."
