‘BlackBerry’
Before the iPhone, Mike Lazaridis (Jay Baruchel) and Jim Balsillie (Glenn Howerton) of the Canadian technology company Research in Motion, paved the way for one of the first smartphones, the BlackBerry. Although the two men revolutionized the mobile phone market, certain forces led to the BlackBerry’s eventual extinction.
This satire certainly delivers laughs and also adds a sense of nostalgia for those old enough to remember the once-ubiquitous device. Baruchel and Howerton virtually disappear into their respective leading roles.
