ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Liz The ability to mentally to pick up on certain sounds and to drown out other noises is possibly an innate trait that most all mothers and bartenders have. I've been both and more. I was looking forward to this movie and try as I might I could not get past the first 30 minutes or so. Disappointed as all get out. I'd love to able to review the movie yet all I can tell you is the first few minutes were adorable and then the obnoxiously loud soundtrack starts OVER the dialogue with crap music that fluctuates beyond reason or good sense. IMHO anyway. good luck. FYI it was a DVD.

Viveka Kulharia The story has been presented in very compelling way. Views of a lot of people have been taken. Everyone seemed logical in whatever one said.The videos of Aaron are also smartly inserted whether it's from news or his own. It gets the experience of Aaron to a new level.I am thankful to everyone involved in making this movie, otherwise I may not have understood what it's like to be Aaron. There are flaws in government system, but they can't be overcome without people's participation. Aaron had an illustrious carrier yet he thought about others which is great. But better still, the method's he adopted to bring the change weren't harmful to anybody, which is a great deal.I would recommend it to anyone who wants to do something significant in his/her life but doesn't know how, this movie can definitely give a push to one's life.

Shubham Jain The movie is based on the life of Aaron Swartz, a programmer, entrepreneur and an Internet hacktivist, who ended his life at an early age of 26. This is a documentary and all the cast were the people involved in his life, including Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor of World Wide Web (WWW)).He started programming at a very early age and was involved in making websites. He was involved in development of web feed format RSS, the organization Creative Commons, the social news site Reddit. He also focused on civic awareness and activism.He was arrested on charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony. He was a research fellow at Harvard University at the time of his arrest and a visitor of MIT. He used JSTOR, a digital repository, to download a large number of academic journal articles through MIT's computer network (which is not public and people have to pay to get the articles. But MIT's students were authorized to access JSTOR through it's network for free). He was captured on a camera using the computer which was used to download the articles. From there on his charges grew with an intent set an example as to what can happen when people try to cross borders. I strongly feel that he was overcharged.This movie leaves us with the thought of how a political system can use the outdated rules to convict innocent people and how important it is to give open access to the research articles to help improve technology and make world a better place.

Mr-Fusion I don't know why the Aaron Swartz story was never on my radar, which is one of the reasons why The Internet's Own Boy was an eye-opener. His is a tragic story, and although the filmmakers secured screen time with (almost) all involved, it's sad that all we have from Swartz is archival webcam interview footage. The movie makes a persuasive case for his being made a high-profile example by the justice system, and there's enough here to leave you either irate or fearful (or both).Whether or not you agree with the man's politics, he made a difference - hell, he was instrumental in getting SOPA struck down, so he deserves our respect for that - and his story brings to light the need for fine-tuning the ancient copyright laws. Either way, this documentary delivers.7/10
