Personally, 'Oh, Hi' did absolutely nothing for me. The actors were funny and likable, and the idea is amusing, but the way the entire film is presented makes it feel like a script that was written by a grade school child.
Firstly, I'll talk about the good. The opening 20-30 minutes was cute. The actor's chemistry mixed with some gorgeous cinematography made for quite the romantic setting. I was thoroughly enjoying what I was seeing. It's when the awkward sex scene mixed with the handcuffs begins that the film gets beyond bizarre and the story slips into someone's weird and childish fantasy brought to life.
The decisions the characters made had no real world weight to them. I mean for the plot to work, both of the main characters would have to have the mental capacity of a 13 year old. No adult would do the things that are done in the film. From the whole hostage situation in hopes for love, all the way up to doing the witchy seance scene that was something only a teenage girl would think of. It all just seemed so unrealistic and far removed from anything remotely palpable.
The ending also left a lot to be desired. There is absolutely no way, and I mean NO WAY, that I would've been the one apologizing after being handcuffed to a bed for 48 hours, and enduring what the main character had to endure for more than half of the film's runtime. Nor would she be the one I would be calling help for after, literally, speeding away from what was at that point a crime scene.
On the flipside, if a person didn't want a relationship, I honestly can't think of anybody that would take them out for a weekend together in the countryside. Complete with pretty music, wine, romance and all the extra things you could think of. And we're talking proposal level romantic here. The creator must have a really low opinion of males to think that this is a real thing someone would do for just a bit of fun. It's borderline offensive.
Overall, I can't recommend it. Far too unrealistic, and campy but in all the wrong ways. Again, this felt like a teenager's fantasy brought to life, but the film was far too adult for anything a teenager could be allowed to watch. All I could think of at the credits was the creator must have the mind of a child, and I wonder who hurt her to make this screenplay happen. The first 20-30 minutes are very sweet, but ultimately misleading as to the context of the rest of the film. And although the film does have some interesting points to make about love and the fear of relationships, it was just too dumb to be taken as anything more than a footnote in the larger picture here.
