Musicals are inherently fake — they can be ecstatically, transcendentally fake — but this is a whole other level of disingenuity. Full review

 Exuberant performances propel this musical biopic, which isn’t perfect but does occasionally delight thanks to its stellar cast, led by the inimitable Jackman. Full review

Quotes

P.T. Barnum: [from trailer] No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.

P.T. Barnum: Hyperbole isn’t the worst crime. Men suffer more from imagining too little than too much.

Charity Barnum: You don’t need everyone to love you, Phin. Just a few good people!

Lettie Lutz: [singing] When the sharpest words wanna cut me down/Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out/This is brave, this is bruised, this is who I’m meant to be/This is me.

Phillip Carlyle: They come to see you… *Your* crazy ideas, *your* new acts. The unusual…

P.T. Barnum: Well then how about you show them a smile? That’d be unusual.

Anne Wheeler: [singing to Philip] You know I want you/It’s not a secret I try to hide/But I can’t have you/We’re bound to break and my hands are tied.

P.T. Barnum: [singing] Ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for/Been searching in the dark, your sweat soakin’ through the floor/And buried in your bones there’s an ache that you can’t ignore/Taking your breath, stealing your mind/And all that was real is left behind…

Queen Victoria: You’re even smaller than I imagined!

Tom Thumb: Well you’re not exactly reaching the top shelf yourself, sweetheart.

P.T. Barnum: Hey sweetie, who’s that young man over there?

Charity Barnum: Oh that’s Phillip Carlyle. A bit of a scandal, they say. His last play was a hit in London.

P.T. Barnum: Play? Pay good money to watch people stand around and talk for two hours and they call *me* a conman.

Lettie Lutz: You don’t get it, Barnum. It’s not about the money. Our own mothers were ashamed of us, they hid us our whole lives.

P.T. Barnum: Trust me, they don’t know it yet, but they’re going to love you.

Jenny Lind: It is hard to understand wealth and privilege when you’re born to it.

Anne Wheeler: Everyone’s got an act.

Lettie Lutz: Don’t start acting sensible now.

P.T. Barnum: My father was treated like dirt. I was treated like dirt. My children won’t be.

Phillip Carlyle: They’re small minded people.

P.T. Barnum: Nothing draws a crowd quite like a crow

Critic Reviews

Back in 1974, Steve Jobs was just another aimless guy. But he became one of the most polished and powerful men in the world. This biopic doesn’t quite make the same journey. Full review

Bob Hoose
Plugged In

Jobs is an ambitious but an incomplete effort. It’s ‘not bad’ but that’s certainly not what Steve Jobs stood for. Full review

Times of India

The acting is fine, but the movie ends up being more like a really expensive corporate pep rally for Apple employees than a nuanced depiction of a fascinating but flawed man. Full review

Jobs falls short of being anything more than an ordinary movie experience that chronicles the life of an extraordinary man. Full review

Quotes

Steve Jobs: Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things – they push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Steve Jobs: [narrating] When you grow up, you tend to get told the world is the way that it is, and your life is just to live your life inside the world and try not to bash into the walls too much. But that’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is that everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that are no smarter than you. And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own things that other people can use. To shake off this erroneous notion that life is just there, and you’re just gonna live in it, versus embrace it. Change it, improve it. Make your mark upon it. And once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

Ed Woolard: If you want to get back what you lost, now is the time.

Steve Jobs: I never lost anything. It was stolen from me.

Steve Wozniak: I just wanted to be one of the guys. And of all the guys I knew, you were the coolest. You were smart, quick-witted. This was my chance to do what I loved. And to do it for fun. That’s all I ever wanted. I thought that’s what you wanted to. Something’s happening to you, Steve.

[begins walking away]

Steve Jobs: I’m growing up, Woz.

Steve Wozniak: No. No you’re not.

John Sculley: You can make a great product. But you have to convince people that what you’re selling is greater. We’re not selling computers. We’re selling what they can do with a computer. A tool for the mind. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is limitless.

Steve Jobs: [to Macintosh team] I don’t ever want to hear you tell me you can’t make it faster.

Steve Jobs: Nobody remembers the world best soda salesman.

Steve Jobs: [to Bill Gates on the phone] Let me make this perfectly clear, Bill, so that when I’m finished you can still see through those thick pretentious glasses you psychopathic unimaginative criminal! You stole… my software!

Steve Jobs: We’re gonna kill every other project. Everything. This company will not make shit anymore.

Steve Jobs: [pointing the chips on the Apple I board] It’s got to be straight, and those more symmetric.

Critic Reviews

In the end, “The Founder” is little more than a deflating reminder, as if we needed one, that the winner takes all, and integrity isn’t always the key to success. Full review

Peter Travers

Mr. Keaton’s performance is fascinating from beginning to end, and the movie around him is entertaining in fits and starts. Ultimately, though, it’s a tough sell, a biopic with an uncertain tone. Full review

Quotes

Ray Kroc: If I saw a competitor drowning, I’d shove a hose down his throat.

Ray Kroc: You know what – contracts are like hearts, they are made to be broken.

Ray Kroc: Now, I know what you’re thinkin’. How the heck does a 52 year old, over-the-hill milkshake machine salesman… build a fast food empire with 16,000 restaurants, in 50 states, in 5 foreign countries… with an annual revenue of in the neighborhood of $700,000,000.00… One word… PERSISTENCE. Nothing in this world can take the place of good old persistence. Talent won’t. Nothing’s more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won’t. Unrecognized genius is practically a cliche. Education won’t. Why the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful.

Ray Kroc: McDonald’s… is… family. Isn’t that great? You know what I see when I see that? Family. We’re one big family. Aren’t we? We have mouths to feed. That’s a family.

Ray Kroc: If you’ve got time to lean, then you’ve got time to clean.

Dick McDonald: Ray we have no interest in a milkshake that contains NO MILK.

Mac McDonald: Dick. We will never beat him. We will never be rid of him.

Harry J. Sonneborn: Mr. Kroc, if you’re not making money hand over fist, something’s terribly wrong.

Ray Kroc: A couple of Illinois boys. Made good. Only in America. Only in America. Only in America!

Mac McDonald: [Giving Kroc his first tour of McDonald’s] Speed. That’s the name of the game. The first stop for every McDonald’s hamburger is the grill. Manned by two cooks, whose sole job it is to cook those all-beef beauties to perfection. Meanwhile, as the patty cooks, our dressers get the buns ready. Watch out. Burger crossing!

McDonald’s Employees: Burger crossing!

Mac McDonald: Every McDonald’s burger has two pickles, a pinch of onions, and a precise shot of ketchup and mustard.

Ray Kroc: [Points to the ketchup and mustard despensers] Now, where did you get those?

Mac McDonald: We made them.

Ray Kroc: Made them?

Mac McDonald: Yes, custom-built. The whole kitchen is. Next, this is the finishing station where we put the whole thing together. And…

[Leads Ray to the end of the line, holding up a wrapped hamburger]

Mac McDonald: Voila! A fresh, delicious burger from grill to counter in 30 seconds.

Rudy: [Referring to his ex-wife] You know what you are? You’re like a gas leak. We don’t see, we don’t smell you, and your silently killing us all.

Mimi: [about Tony & Joy] They were the best divorced couple in America. Much better friends than they were husband and wife.

Trudy: My late husband Morry – I met him in Milano for a trade show, for a swimwear line – used to say: sailing in the winter is the best comparison to life in the world of commerce.

Neil Walker: I guess you could say we’re friends in the commerce.

Joy: Friends in commerce. Yeah.

Neil Walker: So, let’s promise each other, that if one day, and that day may come, that we become adversaries in commerce, that we remain friends. That’s a true friendship, indeed.

Joy: Friends in commerce. I agree, let’s shake on it.

Mimi: [narrating] She’d put up with just about anything… until when she had to bring the hammer down – she brought the hammer down.

Joy: [at her mother’s deathbed] I so hated to leave her that day. I had so much I wanted to say to her… and to my great-granddaughter. I felt I wanted to stay near her and watch over her.
