What's in a name? In this documentary, director Jim Killeen discovers that a number of people in the world share his name. Using the internet search engine Google, Killeen tracks down six men also named Jim Killeen, from a priest in Ireland to a swinger in Colorado. Though the documentary shows the differences in men with this name, it also demonstrates the similarities between people's lives despite disparate backgrounds. ~ Kimber Myers, Rovi

Uma idéia que até poderia render algo interessante, mas que é sabotada pela abordagem falha, pelo egocentrismo do diretor, pela montagem amadora e que ainda encontra tempo para atacar a Psiquiatria seguindo a doutrina estúpida da Cientologia.

The concept is fun, and the whole film feels like we're all Googling Jim Killeen and pulling these video clips onto our screens. It's a nifty bit of filmmaking.
...too much of the film is filled with material better served for the behind-the-scenes section on the electronic press kit.
...a fun yet entirely inconsequential documentary...
... 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?'
The shortfall in Google Me is the inordinate amountof time the LA-based Jim spends on his own life's story.
Killeen puts a face on a concept that has likely occurred to most of us
...often almost as much fun as the Jim Killeens of the world appear to be having making it.
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.
Jim Killeen found himself on the Internet.
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 the film went along telling it's story I

the best part was when the filmmaker explores his own family history; but the very end was extremely lame.
