Funny Or Die releases what they call "the first biopic" of the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.They pride themselves of "being the first" and presents an unlikely tribute to the Apple Chief wherein it presents lots of fun and laughter as Jobs provides an examination of the events of his life from his childhood until his return to Apple Computer more than a decade after he got fired from the company by John Sculley.The 80-minute film stars Justin Long as Steve Jobs who provides narration in the events of his life together with Jorge Garcia,James Urbaniak and Michaela Watkins.It presents many events of his life like his student days at Reed,his friendship with Steve Wozniak,the presentation of the first Apple computer at Homebrew Computer Club,his firing from Apple and many others.Aside from real events of Jobs' life,we also get to see unlikely events of his life such as his friendship with Bill Gates,his love affair with Melinda Gates,his partnership with Commodore Computer,his love for soda drinks and many others.Apparently,this film is a combination of both accuracy and inaccuracy to provide funny moments to the viewer.While people who probably saw this film would somehow dislike it due to the inaccurate events,one must realize that it intends to be a parody of the life of an tech icon who gave the world products that people love.

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.

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!

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.
