Interesting to see that most of these comments come from people who did not attend the Sundance premier, but choose to take the mindless sheep like action of following a critic who obviously watched the film with an immovable preconception of Ashton Kutcher. It is difficult to enjoy a film when your thoughts are more about the actors and not the characters which they portray. Have you ever been watching a movie and then person watching with you interuos a scene to say “oh he was in so-in-so movie” or “I heard they filmed this part on a green screen” or “I can’t believe this actress cheated on her husband and he forgave her” or “I heard he’s gay in real life?”…….. Can we just give the players and the film a chance to entertain us? Just sit back, get over the need to prematurely critique something you haven’t seen, and just watch the movie. To quote Ashton as Jobs in a pivital scene in reference to the personal computer… “How do they know they don’t want something if they’very never seen it?” Be your own Shepard…. not some critics sheep!

Every time I see Ashton I want to smack him in the side of the head with a frying pan!

Multiple times…

AK is the Lindsey Lohan of male actors. Zero talent. All PR.

Steve Jobs brought back the tech bubble and single handly shitted on all progress made since burn rates went away.

Can’t say I’m surprised, what little I’ve read about this film made it sound like a dull, fawning love letter to Apple’s marketing department. As has been said the made-for-TV Pirates of Silicon Valley was awesome and went into some detail on how Gates and Jobs did what they did as opposed to 2 hours of “omagawdomagawdomagawd HES A VISIONARY!!1!”. Highly recommended, pretty sure it’s available on DVD now too.

Ashton was fine in that little ’70s show, but all of his characterizations ever since have been the…exact…same…character, a dopey, brainless kid. This isn’t going over too well now that he’s wearin’ the big boy pants.

1. The clip with AK as SJ doesn’t look very good, I admit. But 2. You don’t really have to be a genius, or even intelligent, to play a genius. It comes down to acting skills, talent. And 3. Yes, there are probably much more interesting people than SJ to make movies about.

Guess the aw shucks, cornball Iowa routine isnt working anymore for AK or Hollywood anymore. Not when in reality he was/is nothing more than an untreated ADHD kid now in the adult stage of the affliction. It worked for awhile—not anymore thank you. Next Movie please .
