Excellent, Without a doubt!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Funny Or Die releases what they call "the first biopic" of the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.They pride themselves of "being the first" and presents an unlikely tribute to the Apple Chief wherein it presents lots of fun and laughter as Jobs provides an examination of the events of his life from his childhood until his return to Apple Computer more than a decade after he got fired from the company by John Sculley.The 80-minute film stars Justin Long as Steve Jobs who provides narration in the events of his life together with Jorge Garcia,James Urbaniak and Michaela Watkins.It presents many events of his life like his student days at Reed,his friendship with Steve Wozniak,the presentation of the first Apple computer at Homebrew Computer Club,his firing from Apple and many others.Aside from real events of Jobs' life,we also get to see unlikely events of his life such as his friendship with Bill Gates,his love affair with Melinda Gates,his partnership with Commodore Computer,his love for soda drinks and many others.Apparently,this film is a combination of both accuracy and inaccuracy to provide funny moments to the viewer.While people who probably saw this film would somehow dislike it due to the inaccurate events,one must realize that it intends to be a parody of the life of an tech icon who gave the world products that people love.

I got all excited because the idea of a movie about Steve Jobs excited me. When I was watching it I ask myself, is this a movie about Steve Jobs life? I also ask myself, is it a parody? I told myself, I just don't even know. But one thing I can tell you this movie got wrong: Steve Jobs acid trip! When Steve Jobs started tripping right after putting blotter acid in his mouth it was unrealistic. I mean it takes like two hours for that stuff to fully kick in after you put the blotter in your mouth. And it takes four hours before you peek. The whole trip lasts about eight hours. And tripping is nothing like the trip presented in the movie. Nobody sees visions like that. If you want to know what an acid trip is really like watch Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas. Also you don't black out and then regain consciousness. Everyone who trips knows it takes a full nights sleep! If it is a satyr, and I'm not sure whether or not it is, it's supposed to satyrize something realistic. I mean parodies are supposed to be about real life. Everything in a parody is supposed to be true. I actually do find it fascinating that Melinda Gates was doing three-ways with Jobs and Gates in a garage with computer bits. Who knew that computer genus could be so kinky? But how can I respect this version of reality when the movie makers didn't even have the slightest idea of what it's like to trip on acid?So now I know about how Jobs discovered computer graphics and I know that he led new innovations in hammering on delicate computer parts. It's all very educational and entertaining except for the part about the acid.

This past week, August 16, 2013, the Steven Jobs movie with Ashton Kutcher was released. I haven't seen it yet but it is supposed to be a serious look at the life of Jobs.This movie, cleverly titled "iSteve", came out first and is just the opposite. In fact in the closing credits it states plainly that although some of the names used were real people, that "literally everything that happened in this story was totally fake." And further, "Point is this story is fictional. Phoney baloney."If that had not been clear as the movie unfolded, a certain scene where Jobs is speaking in his trademark turtleneck shirt of his later life, against a totally black background, and his voice grinds to a halt. Then we see him bent over at the waist and a technician comes over, takes a circuit board out of Jobs' back and works on it to get Jobs back to life should have erased all doubt.Justin Long is iSteve, Steve Jobs, a force of nature in computing starting in the 1970s through virtually the present, although he died in 2011. iSteve gave us such things as the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, things that we can hardly understand how we did without before them.As a comedy of fake events it takes great liberties with real people and real events and twisting them until they bear no resemblance to the truth. Jobs meeting the guru in India, getting the three LSD dots for when he needed inspiration. Bill Gates meeting his eventual wife in Jobs' garage, then riding off with her, sitting behind her on the bicycle. Jobs' inspiration for Pixar coming from his white desk lamp he almost sold when he needed money. And many more.Those looking for a serious movie will be disappointed and should not see this. But for those who enjoy the occasional diversion, in what resembles a 75-minute pseudo-SNL (Saturday Night Live) skit, this movie is a lot of fun. Fun just to see how you can take real events and real people and turn it into a twisted, funny story.SPOILERS: The movie is mostly flashback as Steve Jobs is practicing his talk. As the movie ends he says to us, "You guessed it, this room I am in is actually Heaven."

What I hate about movies these days are that they cannot live up to what they commercialized. Die Hard 5, Oblivion's plot, or Movie 43. This movie's poster is totally dumb and goofy, so is the movie. I got what I expected. Just things that are goofy as hell and off-the-top stupid. I had the best laughs in a long time with this movie. The fight scene was just completely stupid, with Bill and Steve T-Rex slapping at each other. The sex scene blew my mind, I did not expect it to happen, and when it did, it's not even sexy or anything, it's just so goofy and dumb it's hilarious.Overall, I got what I want from it, and it cost me nothing but time, so i rate it a 9/10.
