One of the many teachings of my great friend and coffee coach is that you cannot “chase” latte art. That is, do not ruin the texture of the drink trying to draw a picture with milk foam. Aaron Sorkin, and all of us, could learn from this simple philosophy.

I thought this film was “chasing” that epic quotability Sorkin found in “A Few Good Men”. Fassbender delivered admirably but he was given a deluge of poignant lines in an attempt to transform Cupertino into The West Wing. This nudged the rhythm slightly askew as the dialogue, keeping pace with the mayhem before each product launch, was everything to this film.

Despite this obvious flaw, the picture can be lauded as a dynamic look into the personal relationships of a cultural icon. Seth Rogen and Kate Winslet were outstanding as the people, close to Jobs, who pushed back.

The products Steve Jobs created all get 5 napkin reviews. Steve Jobs, the movie, clicks on 3.8 napkins out of 5, leaving space in the iCloud for slightly better writing.
