    The premise seemed interesting enough so I gave this one a shot and soon was thinking to myself that it wasn't going to be very good. Some of the staging for transition shots in the front of the movie had me rolling my eyes and the voice over wasn't the best in the world but as ... read morethe film went along telling it's story I found myself interested.
    We some really good people. People I wouldn't mind having a drink with at the local Irish Pub. It's a good look into peoples lives and what makes people... people. It's well built with fun bits here and there and had a good flow through the whole thing.
    Very good watch.

... you can't help but think, 'Hey, why didn't *I* think of that?' just before you also tell yourself, 'Would I even have the guts to try?' Full Review

The shortfall in Google Me is the inordinate amountof time the LA-based Jim spends on his own life's story. Full Review

Never really comes to any surprising connections. But the film is a pleasant way to meet seven people whose names all happen to be Jim Killeen.
