Message
4/5

Demonstrates that failure isn't the end of a process and that hard work and positive thinking can turn failures into lessons that can lead to successes.

Role model
2/5

It's not the main point, and there isn't particular focus on any one person, but movie includes an epilogue that shows how most of the people who lost their jobs at General Magic went on to do great things, including starting companies like eBay.

Language
3/5

A use of "bulls--t" and a use of "s--t." Two bleeped-out uses of "f--k" (presumably).

Consumerism
2/5

Frequent mentions/glimpses of brands, but mainly in historical context (not advertising): Google, Apple, Mac, Macintosh, Fry's, Mug Root Beer, Diet Coke, AT&T, Motorola, Sony, Philips, etc.
