Matt Johnson’s film, reminiscent of John McEnroe in its intensity, took over this account of how mobile phone usage fundamentally changed. The story centers on him and his boss Mike (Jay Baruchel), who were part of a small group trying to create a mobile word processor capable of sending text messages and emails. What they needed was funding, and it was during an imperfect presentation that they met "Jim" (Glenn Howerton), someone with just enough business acumen to secure the deal they desperately wanted. The problem was, they weren’t sure if their systems could handle the growing demand, even as this new contact brought in significant opportunities. A 46% share of what became a rapidly expanding smartphone market presented them with the chance to be leaders for years—but we know from history how things ultimately played out. The film is helped by not relying on a major celebrity lead. The three actors portray the stresses, triumphs, and setbacks of a company that, when facing problems, turned to an impromptu movie night as a solution. It doesn't avoid showing some of the cutthroat tactics prevalent in this incredibly competitive industry, but it does so with less aggression. Perhaps it’s just a Canadian characteristic, but I found myself genuinely hoping for their success (even though I eventually came to dislike my own "Crackberry"). Many films based on true events focus on characters chasing quick riches; this one is about two guys who actually created something—something that established a standard for the devices we all use without much thought today. It’s an enjoyable watch and well worth investing two hours in.
