| New Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufThe movie, directed by Mick Jackson, leaves no cliché unturned, from the predictable plot to the characters straight out of central casting. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt appears to have been modeled on the worst revenge-of-the-nerds clichés the filmmakers could dredge up. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerFeels entirely a part of an already faded go-go era. Pic is too late by a mile and rightly dumped in a few theaters by Fox, which will doubtless send it to video bins faster than you can say gigabyte. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawIt's also curious to note that this film, like the similarly ill-timed Antitrust, is easily as bad at a fraction the budget. |
| User ReviewJeremy Gi saw this in the middle of the night when we were staying in johannesburg. this movie is so fucking tacky. its the best. |

| User ReviewGregor HI like almost every aspect of this movie, especially the main actor |
| User Reviewtaufique zI liked this one. A group tries to make a computer for $100, and the shit they make is about the coolest thing I've seen (technology wise) since the freakin' light saber. |
