Steve Jobs is certainly an icon of our times. What this biographical film points out is how difficult a person he was in terms of social relationships and yet, how extraordinary brilliant he was. Without Steve Jobs, I'm not sure we would have ever had personal computers or smart phones. This is a compelling story that follows Jobs from his early years, as a college dropout into one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century. I loved the film and wished it would have continued longer into his life. Our youth critics loved it as well. As KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Anthony A says, "He inspired me to try my best and keep working hard." See Anthony's full review below.

This movie is really cool and tells a great story about an inspiring person. After watching this movie I want to learn more about Steve Jobs and other aspects of his life.

This movie is all about a person named Steve Jobs (Aston Kutcher) starting when he is in college and likes to build things. So, he calls in a friend named Woz (Josh Gad) who helps him get started building a computer called the Apple Computer. Woz agrees to help Steve and eventually they create a company. Steve runs the company and makes tons of stuff but sadly he is voted out by the board and his company is taken away from him.

The main characters are Steve, Woz, Mike (Dermot Mulroney) and Arthur (J.K. Simmons). My favorite character in the movie is Woz because he is really cool and funny. He helps Steve’s dreams come true. He is also a good technician and very good with computers. He is a really good pal and stands by Steve’s side no matter what.

My favorite part in the movie is when Steve and Woz create the Apple Computer II because it is really cool and it is the second product they ever made. It is really inspiring. It gives you a message that says never give up on your dreams because it could come true if you try hard enough. I would love to be just like Steve. He inspired me to try my best and keep working hard.

I recommend this movie for ages 8 to 18 because there is no violence in the movie but there is a lot of adult language that even I couldn’t understand some times. All in all, it tells a great story about a man’s life. Go out and see this movie in theaters now.
