The movie unapologetically roots for the uber-nerds. And what a curious crew they are. They include a pudgy Panglossian milquetoast (Stephen Root) whose blocked anger explodes in the nick of time; a chicken-chested, absent-minded ninny (Joel David Moore); and a lunatic who imagines he's a pirate. Any movie that is fonder of these losers than of their robotic would-be nemeses is OK by me.
