Funny Or Die's iSteve

A hilarious and endearing take on the mystique of Steve Job's life
I didn't think it was possible to make a comedy about Steve Jobs but they pulled it off. The movie is part documentary, part complete parody, and 100% endearing. I felt like the movie did a great job of poking fun at the whole mystique of Steve Job's life. Some of my favorite characterizations were of (spoiler alert!) Wozniak as the overweight loser. In reality we all know he played a huge part in what Apple became but he's so often characterized as being slighted for being "too" nice. I think the movie does a hilarious job of taking that image to a whole new level. Makes you realize how ridiculously he's treated by popular media. Another favorite scene was when he has virtual sex with Melinda Gates in his oft depicted barren living room. It's ridiculous turns like this that keep you guessing what's next. In the end, it's not an accurate documentary of Steve Jobs - but a parody of all the ones we're about to be barraged with - and that's the most endearing way I can think of...

This is a hilarious over-the-top treatment of the Steve Jobs Bio
Basically, this feels like a mockumentary about how a network TV company would produce a mini-series about Steve Jobs: extremely over-the-top, simplistic, and inaccurate interpretation that dumbs down history for the sake of "mass appeal" and more exciting dynamics.

If you love Christopher Guest movies and Walk Hard (The Dewey Cox Story), and know some actual Apple/Steve Jobs history, you will love this.

It's a hoot. i
I thought that "I Steve" was a hoot. If you're an Apple fan, it's definitely worth seeing more than once.
