Movie Reviews: Jobs
Most critics are expressing obvious disappointment that Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, didn't turn out better than it did. And they're primarily blaming Kutcher for that.
Michael Phillips in the Chicago Tribune writes:
"Kutcher is everything except interesting."
Mark Olsen in the Los Angeles Times observes that while Kutcher himself has made personal investments in technology, as an actor, he's still Ashton Kutcher.
"Though Kutcher does throw himself into the role with all he's got, trying to capture Jobs' distinctive walk and mercurial temperament, his performance comes off as an assemblage of mannerisms with no deeper feeling or understanding."
Lou Lumenick in the New York Post concludes that Kutcher's performance:
"is all surface."
Linda Bernard writes in the Toronto Star that Jobs:
"is a film that's described when you're using a term spitting out something with palpable distaste"
