Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What's insanely great about "Dot" is the chilling reality factor; unlike Christopher Guest's "mockumentary" marvels, you never get the feeling that these characters are anything less than the creepy people who used to live down the hall in your dorm. The late 90s were just like the late 60s: a remarkable cataclysm when the lunatics took over the asylum and every lunatic fantasy was not only permitted, it was funded by venture capitalist who were equally deluded, if not outright 'luded, too. The only nit is the plot; you know from the start how the story ends, but the ride is so real, you can practically taste the imported Cuban sugar in the overpriced coffee. But I knew too many people who seriously considered asking Alan Greenspan to be on their advisory board, and more importantly, placed the call. And had it returned.

DOT is the winner of the Dances With Films 2002 Best Feature, Slamdunk's 2002 Best Comedy and Independent Spirit Awards. This groundbreaking mockumentary follows nine months in the life of Zectek.com, an Internet startup company. A social satire and sly comedy of manners unfolds through "behind-the-scenes footage" and interviews with the company's founders and employees. As Zectek.com rides the e-commerce roller coaster, the twenty and thirty-something's that run it have their lives turned repeatedly inside out.The proud parents of company are visionary con man/philosopher Si (Simeon Schnapper), naive salesman Mitch (Michael Mazzarra) and cynical technical wizard Stan (Steve Walker). These slacker/nerds-turned-entrepreneurs are soon joined by employees as neurotic as they are: Smart and sensuous Jane (Jamie McMillan), earnest fruitcake Ross (Mathew O'Neil) and pragmatic pixie receptionist Maria (Katherine M. Ripley).Witness: strategic meetings turned to fist fights! See: advisory boards that include the Jolly Green Giant. Experience: a cutting-edge comedy about period in our culture so far ahead of itself that it's present is passé.
