Jobs is particularly interested in a course on calligraphy. He meets up with his friend Daniel Kottke (Lukas Haas) who is excited to see that Jobs is holding a copy of Be Here Now by Baba Ram Dass. Influenced by this book and his experiences with LSD, Jobs and Kottke spend time in India. Two years later, Jobs is back in Los Altos, California living at home with his adoptive parents Paul (John Getz) and Clara (Lesley Ann Warren).

It was an interesting take on Steve Jobs and Apple Computers. As some of the other reviewers have stated I am sure a lot of the script has been touched up for Hollywood. Nevertheless it does give a pretty good account of the time he spent with Apple before and after his return. It also lets us see a little of his personal life. It was a pretty good movie, and I really enjoyed the acting. Ashton did a fair job as did Josh.
I don't regret watching it but don't go out of your way or plan your evening around this movie. It was okay, and if you have nothing else to watch and are curious then go for it.
