College dropout Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), together with his friend, technical whiz-kid Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), sparks a revolution in home computers with the invention of the Apple 1 in 1976. Built in the garage of Jobs' parents, the device -- and the subsequent formation of Apple Inc. -- have changed the world for all time. Though he is viewed as a visionary, Jobs' tenure as Apple's leader is a rocky one, leading to his eventual ouster from the company he co-founded.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An ambitious but skin-deep portrait of an influential, complex figure, Jobs often has the feel of an over-sentimentalized made-for-TV biopic.

Jobs | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Amy Taubin Film Comment Magazine A Steve Jobs biopic steeped in the mediocrity its subject despised. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Jobs | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Too often the audience is taken out of the scene with thoughts of" Hey, isn't that Ashton Kutcher?" simply because the portrayal comes off too contrived. Rated: D- Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Jobs | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Jobs' remarkable life and persistently prickly personality are simply too complicated and his roller-coaster ride to the top of the personal-computing business is simply too crammed with improbable side trips and switchbacks to distill into 128 minutes. Rated: 2/5 Aug 23, 2013 Full Review Jobs | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com One has the distinct feeling that Jobs himself would have been particularly unimpressed with Jobs the movie. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 12, 2020 Full Review Jobs | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Bernard Boo Way Too Indie The film's major moving parts are damaged, effectively crashing the machine. Send this one back to the factory. Rated: 5/10 Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Jobs | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Nathalia Aryani San Diego Entertainer It's just passable, which would not have passed Jobs' own standards.

Dani G Not precisely bad, but I just don't believe Ashton in any role. He's always him Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review John T. H Ashton Kutcher looks the part but does not act/sound anything like Steve Jobs...but the parts where they're building the computers is really need to see. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Christian S This is a very enjoyable movie about Steve Jobs. Ashton Kutcher was excellent. I actually have watched it several times. Well done. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Gerardo L I truly love the movie, great performances from all the cast Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Mario S Solo Ashton Kutcher puede hacer de una de las vidas más interesantes de los últimos años un bodrio aburrido e insoportable, solo contrastado con agradables pero esporadicas pinceladas de color del genial Josh Gad. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: assistir Ashton sem ser um filme de romance e comédia, é difícil. E aqui ele interpreta "Steve Jobs" missão fácil. Até tem uma boa atuação. Mas o ator Fassbender que interpreta também Jobs no filme Steve Jobs de 2015 mandou melhor, bem que tiveram 2 anos para ver oque tinha deixado e que poderia melhorar e com certeza fizeram bem a tarefa de casa, pois saiu uma obra melhor. Mas voltando para cá, não quer dizer que este seja ruim, ele é bom, o outro é melhor, tanto a representação. Conta a estoria desde o ínicio da faculdade, da idéia, da busca dos investidores, do crescimento, dos desafios, da expulsão, do declínio e da volta por cima.Roteiro e enredo bom.Vale apena assistir? SimNota: 6,5 Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
