This image released by IFC Films shows Jay Baruchel as Mike Lazaridis, left, and Glenn Howerton as Jim Balsillie in a scene from"BlackBerry." There are two remarkable stories contained in “BlackBerry”: The first story is about how a tech genius in Canada created the smartphone market by inventing a device that could take phone calls, surf the internet and receive email.
Remember that when Barack Obama took office as president in 2009, he asked the Secret Service to figure out a way he could still use his BlackBerry. Yet a decade later, almost nobody had a BlackBerry. Today, according to the movie, BlackBerry makes up zero percent of smartphone sales. Matt Johnson wrote and directed “BlackBerry,” based on a book by Jacquie McNish. He also acts in it. The curious thing is that Johnson plays neither Mike Lazaridis, who invented the BlackBerry, nor Jim Balsillie, the co-CEO who figured out how to get entrepreneurs to invest in the product.
