jOBS is a 2013 biographical drama film based on the career of the late American businessman and global icon 1 Steve Jobs. It follows his life from 1971 until his death in 2011. The title role is played by Ashton Kutcher, with Josh Gad 2 playing the role of Apple Computer's co-founder Steve Wozniak. Filming began in June 2012 with over three days of filming on location at Jobs' childhood home in California, followed by 28 days of filming in Los Angeles. The official movie site said: "jOBS is the incredibly powerful and true story of the visionary who set out to change the world, and did…[it] plunges 3 into the depths of his character, creating an intense dialogue-driven story [and an] immensely personal portrait of Steve Jobs' life."
 
The moviemakers decided 4 to write the movie title in a special way, to mirror the small "j" with the small "i" that is part of so many Apple products. The film was met with very mixed initial reviews and got just a 43% approval rating on the review site rottentomatoes.com. Many critics focused on Kutcher, suggesting better actors should have played the part. Britain's 'Guardian 5' newspaper wrote: "This is far from the bomb some would have envisaged 6, but neither is it the character illumination one would wish for. Jobs appears so consumed by his work here that little else mattered in his life. That may be true, but we're left none the wiser as to what made the man tick, beyond what we already know."
