"Forget the upcoming Ashton Kutcher film. It's all about Justin Long and his performance in iSteve, Funny or Die's new Steve Jobs biopic that debuted Wednesday. If you worship the cult of Mac, drop everything you're doing and spend the next 78 minutes watching\u00A0this. (For a teaser, check out the video below.)\n\niSteve feels like the 2.0 version of This Is Spinal Tap \u2014 only much geekier and very tongue-in-cheek.\n\"What's that? You want to hear my story,\" a bearded Jobs asks at the beginning of the film. Throughout the Skywalker-esque tale, Jobs moves from (sort of) humble tech wannabe to befuddled tech god.\nThe journey begins in the mountains of India, as a fresh-faced Jobs leaves Mountain View in search of Eastern answers. Jobs has trouble explaining his obsession with computers to a guru, who subsequently shows him his life path: Make computers easy to understand.\n\"If there was a man who could make computers simple, the entire world would listen to him,\" the guru says, before giving Jobs what resembles acid tabs to make him think differently and see the future. \"Do it when you need it to see the real future for you.\"\nJobs returns to Northern California where he \"feels the benevolent hand of the cosmos every time he gazes upon some elegant\" typeface. The young Jobs soon meets the larger-than-life Steve Wozniak, his neighbor. They bond over their mutual first names, as well as their love for jetpacks and flying cars.\n\"It is a little depressing knowing everything that's going to be invented,\" Wozniak says.\n\"We're the ones who decide what the future's going to look like,\" the Jobs character says.\nSoon after, Jobs pulls out his guru's acid tab and drops it. Everything changes. Two hours later, he comes back with a vision of the first home micro-computing system. And voila, Apple is born.\n\"My God, it's so crazy it might work,\" Jobs says post-trip. \"Don't be afraid Woz, you can do it.\"\nThe twosome build the system, which lays the foundation for Apple. Soon, Jobs churns out his first computers and expands from a garage office to serious Silicon Valley digs. As the \"genius\" label and product hype become widespread, Apple the brand catches on like cocaine in the disco era. \n\"And like that, my beta days were over,\" Jobs says in a voiceover. \nWithout spoiling too much, the film is a fantastic \u2014 albeit largely fictionalized \u2014 account of the history of Apple and the man who helped build it. If you're looking for facts, iSteve isn't the movie for you. But if you want to see a feather-ruffling portrayal of the birth of Apple, its products and even the Steve Jobs-Bill Gates rivalry, check it out.\nFor diehard Mac\u00A0aficionados,\u00A0the liberties iSteve takes with actual events may be akin to\u00A0sacrilege, but it's all in good fun. Hate it or love it, tell us your thoughts in the comments.\nScreenshot image courtesy of Funny or Die"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
