iSteve (2013)

You won't be disappointed!

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Why? Beside the fact that they thought of using as the main character Justin Long ("The Mac Guy" from the "Hi I'm a Mac..." commercials) and made you think "where do I know this guy from?" ;), they made the story so simple and impactful. They kept the core of the story and made it into a beautiful funny time line of "history of innovation" I don't want to give away too much, but we all know that Ashton Kutcher looks a lot more like Steve Jobs and he did a great job in "Jobs", but the flair Justin is bringing to this story, the awkward friendship with Woz (Jorge Garcia most popular for "Lost"), the funny rivalry with Bill Gates and the entire air of the film makes me say it: it's better than "Jobs". Period.

The movie is not the best movie ever, but it is a good parody of every other Steve Jobs biopic. I think all the factual inaccuracies are totally intentional as it was common for Jobs to take credit intentionally and not for a lot of the innovations present in Apple and non-Apple products. For example, he actually had the vision to save Pixar financially, but he didn't create the lamp short film that was the first Pixar short film, and in the movie it appears as if he was the brains behind the lamp flick in an eccentric way.The movie is very eccentric so its jokes are really convoluted and require a lot of previous knowledge of the real history of personal computing, computer animation movies, virtual reality, etc, etc. The story about the rivalry of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates being partially motivated by Melinda Gates is a total fabrication, so it is just a way to make the story stereotypical as a love triangle totally made up as Steve Jobs was successful romantically too and the differences between the two titans were of other sort being competitors for the graphic OS market.The virtual reality sex scene shown a typical virtual world of the 90's if you were into virtual worlds then showing perfect geometrical solids and primitive rendering techniques. So the movie is a little nostalgic in that.The Commodore's CEO plot to out Jobs of Apple is also totally made up and it is a collage of real facts twisted in really imaginative ways. John Sculley uses Jobs' 'weakness' for sodas to infiltrate Apple as a Pepsico Marketing guy. But at the end he reveals that he never worked for Pepsi and he was a con artist working for Commodore. But everybody knows that Sculley was CEO of Pepsi for real and Jobs lured him into Apple. Again a surrealist joke.But Steve Jobs is sort of a cult figure so at the end who knows if the serious biopics of Steve Jobs are more real. I guess that's the point of the movie in my opinion.

The Movie iSteve! Its a parody , right? But parodies are suppose to be fun. Not even the lightning is enjoyable. Terrible action, makeup, dialogs. A completely inaccurate set of untruth dialog and scenes. It all goes wrong when fake Steve and Woz, are smashing Pentium II motherboards to build the PoC. It all goes to trash, at the virtual reality sex sex between Steve and Melinda Gates. So bad, so bad, so bad.... not funny at all! I really hope who ever watches it, understands it is not a documentary but is a great example of how to make terrible make up and wigs. And I am not done watching it yet, it already made want to review it right away. PS. Fake Steve just took acid before the Stanford speech!

A great true story , narrated by the main character, a very funny history lesson, At one point , I flashed back to when my little brother got one of the first computers ...when there were about three people "online", it was just another techie at the library or local college,and they were just tying up everyone's phone lines.for me , it was well written and took right off, I didn't expect it to be as funny as it was , being a biography, but it was funnier than educational, and even when the jokes weren't flowing , the movie still flowed very nicely, I recommend iSteve, my opinion is that most people will enjoy it and get a chuckle I gave it a six out of ten, and I think i will eventually re-watch it so it gets a re-watcher stamp
