The movie is as advertised - it is surprisingly entertaining and informative. While I found it particularly interesting because I lived through that time and adored that phone, I think the story is good enough for a non-geek to appreciate. The two leads are perfectly cast and form an excellent center to the movie. I would have actually liked it more if it had spent more time showing us the evolution of the phone. In that sense it may have worked better as a limited-series show.

A lame attempt at comedy and drama that fails on both fronts. The worst part is the fake bald head of Glenn Howerton, it looks like a cheap wig.

I had the feeling they skipped too much time - from a startup with an early prototype to a huge ad with the newest Blackberry in a second. It would had worked for me better as a show with 10 to 12 episodes with one hour an episode.

Excellent and very entertaining movie.
I knew a bit about it's history but it was well executed, i'm sorry but i do not feel sorry about them i hate Blackberry it is associated with my worst 5 years of professional life. The refused to follow technology and the new era. Yes it was a game changer and as i saw it the pioneer's but you must progress or you will die.

The hand held camera thingy and shaking (probably shoot by an iPhone, no pun intended) was outdated.

Fantastic performance by Jim, little better production value as in many scenes you can clearly notice the bald mask on his head (the lines and the cover).

Highly recommended for nerds and people who grow up with "get off the internet I need to make a call"

This is a decent watch mostly for the performances, especially Glenn Howerton, but overall it feels aimless and while the performances are great no one in the movie is a full fledged character so it just kind of ends.

This was so much fun, didn't expect to like it that much. Glenn and Jay were absolutely superb!

Performances, great. Tone, lovely. High level plot, solid. Actual story narrative... rushed, a bit disjointed, and having a few odd beats. Even though it's not perfect, it also isn't terrible, just less than it could be. Glen Howerton, however, is the perfect smug asshole that drives every scene he is in. I think this could have been so much more if it was given a chance to breath as something like a miniseries.

Blackberry is interesting enough and the performances are great. However, the narrative felt rushed and I wanted to explore more of the gaps and characters. I hate to say this, but this film might have been better as a miniseries.

A story that is shockingly unknown, about a time and place where the world was irrecoverably changing. Stellar performances by Howerton and Baruchel, and phenomenal script and direction by (also co-lead!) Matt Johnson. Couldn’t more highly recommend.

That shaky camera was so out of place. This isn't office. The passing and narative were all over the place.
Glenn did a great job.
