TL;DR Summary

The new film "BlackBerry" dramatizes the rise and fall of the pioneering smartphone, but skips over its peak of popularity and its impact on US politics, including Barack Obama's attachment to his "CrackBerry." The film's stars, Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton, discuss their portrayals of BlackBerry's inventors and executives, and reflect on the trend of brand-centric movies that reflect the way brands have become celebrities in their own right.
