I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Who payed the critics
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The life of technology guru and Apple founder, Steve Jobs, told as a comedy.I say "comedy" because that's what the synopsis describes it as, plus it is too farcical to be a drama. However, the movie is hardly funny. There are one or two good spoofs (the Robert Palmer one was pretty good) but these are few and far between and there is nothing hilarious. Mostly pretty stupid, relying on lame in-jokes.So unfunny I initially thought the synopsis was wrong and that this was meant to be a serious biopic. Then the plot development was so inaccurate and over-the-top that this theory went out the window.Ashton Kutcher will be relieved - now there's a worse Steve Jobs movie...
iSteve is the first biographical film about the late Steve Jobs.It stars John Long in the title role together with Jorge Garcia,James Urbaniak and Michaela Watkins.Former SNL writer Ryan Perez wrote and directed it.This parody starts with Steve Jobs rehearsing for a talk and later decides to take an view of his life from childhood until he returns to Apple the second time around.It pokes fun on his days on the garage,his rivalry with Bill Gates,the development of the personal computer,how he got fired at Apple by John Sculley,his personal life and many more.It apparently was far from the true facts and details as we get to see a love triangle between Bill Gates,Melinda Gates and Steve Jobs;the hiring of John Sculley by Jobs as Apple CEO due to the latter's love for soda drinks;the sexual relationship between Steve and Melinda through virtual reality; and a lot more.This 75- minute film concludes with Jobs stating that he is narrating the events in heaven.According to Ryan Perez,this film was written in three days and shot in five days.It definitely had its moments.Also,Perez stated about iSteve,"We might not be the best, but we will be the first".Apparently,he forgot to say that it maybe the first parody on the life of Jobs wherein the events were laughed at.With the release of other Steve Jobs films such as "Pirates Of Silicon Valley","Jobs" and the up-and-coming "steve jobs",this remains the funniest.
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
Nice internet movie. Great satyr aimed at Steve Jobs life and Apple history. Yes its inaccurate but TAKE the fact that this is a comedy and if you are interested in computer history you will have nice laugh. Justin Long and Jorge Garcia delivers great and funny acting, And its nice comedy driven tribute to a Steve Jobs and history of Apple computers. This comes from a proud mac user and admirer of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. And at the END you will find out that this is not to make fun of Steve Jobs, but to make him a tribute that is worth laugh and im sure if Steve himself can see it, he would smile at it too. So at the end Funny Or Die and whole team around this movie made pretty decent job.
