    Nothing funny about it

    I'm not sure how I made it through this movie. The actors are trying too hard to be funny when they aren't. We don't need to see the bathroom routine and all the burping the lead actor does. It's over done, Not funny at all. It drags on and on with no end in sight. I kept pausing it to see how much time was left

    Started with a good idea and had potential to be a good movie. It might've been a better idea for it to be a drama instead of a "comedy" but the director didn't take that route. Maybe his next feature can be a drama and it might hit better than this movie.

    Save yourself two hours and don't click on it.

    A great indie film that should be watched by any aspiring filmmaker.

    Steve Jobless is a great indie film that should be watched by any aspiring filmmaker and anyone who loves independent films.

    This film is a reflection of the issues that are afflicting the United States of America for quite a while. It is a great political satire that will make you laugh until your belly aches.

    The American dream is truly a nightmare at the hands of Steve Jobless. Steve is a victim of the system and himself. He became what he hated the most, a victimizer of others by becoming part of the of the capitalist system that he despises so much, but he needs it in order to survive.

    In a world of independent films, in which Hollywood will now spend $20 million, if not more to make, Steve Jobless does not pretend to be one of those pretentious multimillion dollar indie films.

    Regardless of your political views or affiliation, I exhort you to watch Steve Jobless and keep an open mind. If you do, I promise you that you will laugh until your belly aches.

    A political comedy jammed packed with amazing performances!

    I loved this film. The characters in it are very well portrayed and the lines are right on point. I guess one of the things that makes this comedy great is the writing.

    If you're looking for political comedy in tune with our times this is definitely for you. A project of this nature wouldn't work without some amazing acting and it was beautifully carried out. It reminded me a little of office space, but more political in its comedy. I wouldn't be surprised if it gains a cult following the way Office Space did. They don't make a lot of movies like this so when you get it it is a real treasure. Give you a shot. You'll love it.

    A Good Message Inside a Horrible Snooze-Fest

    Capitalism stinks and many of us know this.

    Employers expect the world from their employees and give as little as possible in return.

    This Indie project does something similar.

    There is nothing funny about it.

    The acting is terrible. The story is just as bad.

    No one wants to see a struggling Middle Aged man's daily bathroom routine.

    The entire Two Hour project can be summed up in a social media post that would take less than thirty seconds to read.

    The only part I find mildly amusing, but not in a good way, are the (currently) two reviews which both gave Ten Stars.

    Skip this one and instead spend that time plotting ways to dismantle the system that is rigged against you.

    "Always beware of the fact that the only thing hindering an all-out revolution is your fear of losing the scraps they throw at you" - Gore Vidal.

    Laughed so hard ribs hurt for days

    I was scrolling on a random movie website with my new friend when I saw the cover of Steve Jobless and knew it was going to be the movie for me. This movie was so funny. I laughed so hard that I nearly peed. I recommend this movie to everyone I meet and reference the pants sniffing scene constantly.

    The characters are relatable and loveable, Steve reminds me of my grandfather, my old work managers, and at times, even myself.

    This movie was beautifully shot and packed with genuine performances and comedy.

    Thank you to eve everyone who worked so hard on this film, I'm so grateful for the joy it provided and the friendship it facilitated.
