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.

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...

Apparently written in 3 days, and filmed in 5 this movie is so funny. So many memorable moments including the virtual Melinda gates sex scene. The acting is bang on, and the writing is great. Better then most box office comedies in the past few years. Hopefully there will be more and more of these low budget but awesomely written movies produced in the future, though Funny or Die's follow up 'Coffee Town' looks pretty lame. Jorge Garcia as Steve Wozniak is an endless source of laughs, I'm still laughing just thinking about the way they wrote the relationship between him and Jobs. Check it out, it is ridiculous but amazing.

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.
