It doesn't seem to be a star on Google's face.

The film is completely shoddy, all the characters are facialized, and the character portrays lack depth; the storyline is completely unreasonable because of the accumulation of elements, just like why everyone can't think of the app to go to the nightclub, and immediately came up with it after the nightclub was gone. After app or Bill gave up the internship and was persuaded by Nick to come back, they convinced the user to successfully get the advertising fee? In addition, the ending can be predicted from the beginning, and the story lacks creativity.

The center of the story is probably to praise the power of human nature. Google is a humanity company that pays attention to all human needs and emotions. Technology is only the means and methods they use to realize humanity. So in the end, those with strong academic ability but full of superiority fell off the horse, but these two were able to stay. From this point of view, the original idea of ​​this story is indeed good, but in the process of fullness, in order to cater to the taste of the public, it is forced to install various selling points, and the setting is too sloppy and crude. There is even a tendency towards anti-intellectualism.

In short, a good story should be reasonable and unexpected. This story is the opposite, outside of reason and expected. Not satisfactory.

    Billy McMahon: [angry] What the fuck, Sammy!

    Nick and Billy's Boss: What the fuck me? What the fuck you! Who told you could barge into my office without an appointment?

    Nick Campbell: You closed the company? And then you sent us out on a sale that we really needed and have Bob Williams drop that bomb on us?

    Nick and Billy's Boss: Bob Williams' got a big fuckin' mouth.

    Nick Campbell: Yeah, he does.

    Nick and Billy's Boss: Look, you weren't gonna get the sale anyway. Nobody wears a watch anymore. They just check their goddamn phones.

    Nick Campbell: Disagree. Cite your sources.

    Billy McMahon: The kids, maybe, but there's... there's a broader market.

    Nick and Billy's Boss: Lorraine, what time is it?

    Lorraine: [checks the time on her cellphone] 10:26.

    Billy McMahon: One hip, pioneering secretary does not a cultural trend make.

    Nick and Billy's Boss: She 75 years old. Watches are obsolete and so are the two of you.

    Nick Campbell: Obsolete? What does that even mean?

    Nick and Billy's Boss: It means everything's computerized now! It's cheaper for a machine to tell these companies what to order than an manufacturer's rep. They don't need us anymore.

    Nick Campbell: No, people have a deep, mistrust of machines. Have you seen Terminator?

    Billy McMahon: Yep.

    Nick Campbell: Or "2"?

    Billy McMahon: Mmm-hmm

    Nick Campbell: Or "3" or "4"?

    Billy McMahon: All of them.

    Nick Campbell: People wanna deal with people, not terminators.

    Nick and Billy's Boss: People hate people. Times have changed.

    Nick Campbell: That's so negative.

  • Nick and Billy's Boss: Luckily, I saw this coming. Cashed out my retirement, bought a condo in Miami Beach, new tits for the wife. Silicone. It's legal again.

    Billy McMahon: Wow.

    Nick Campbell: Saline's out?

    Nick and Billy's Boss: Yeah. Me and the old lady are gonna be tucked away real nice.

    Billy McMahon: Yeah, great for you, huh? Perfect. So, uh, that's it right? But what about us, Sammy?

    Nick and Billy's Boss: [sighs] You two were great salesmen. The best! But at the end of the day, you're grinders. Foot solders. We all know you'll never be generals. And I'm gonna say something harsh right now.

    Billy McMahon: Now you're gonna say something harsh?

    Nick and Billy's Boss: Strap it in, boys, 'cause it ain't pretty out there. And you two are dinosaurs. Face it, where you're going... you've already been.

    [places two watches for Billy and Nick as gifts for them]
