Telling the story of how the Internet blossomed from a scattering of GeoCities homepages detailing family pets to a global phenomenon thanks to an injection of porn, Middle Men has Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi in front of George Gallo’s camera.
If you’re reading this site for the articles – here’s the synopsis:
In 1995, everyone had a VCR, music was sold in record stores, and the world-wide-web was a new found discovery. Businessman Jack Harris (Luke Wilson) had the perfect life – a beautiful family and a successful career fixing problem companies. And then he met Wayne Beering (Giovanni Ribisi) and Buck Dolby (Gabriel Macht), two genius but troubled men, who had invented the way adult entertainment is sold over the internet. When Jack agrees to help steer their business, he soon finds himself caught between a 23 year-old porn star and the FBI all the while becoming one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs of his time. Inspired by a true story that proves business is a lot like sex: getting in is easy, pulling out is hard.
And here’s the trailer, which if you’re at all unsure contains lots of scenes of nudity and several sexual swear words. Click on.
