Oh, Hi!

Surprisingly hilarious. I went into this movie completely blind; bought a last minute tickets because there was a Q&A afterward which I always try to catch. I didn't expect much because I hadn't even heard of it, but it turned out way better than anticipated. It has one of those absolutely bonkers premises that somehow works. The opening pulls you in quickly, and the cast has great chemistry that carries the film.

From the start, I genuinely had no idea the story would take the turns it did, I assume maybe the trailer could be revealing but I hadn't seen it. The handcuffs gave me vague "Gerald's Game" vibes, though this takes things in a much more comedic direction. Her making breakfast had me laughing out loud. The movie just generally a lot of laughs from everybody.

It's definitely a "shut your brain off to enjoy" kind of film. Some character decisions aren't the most logical, but the humor makes it work. Molly's descent into chaos was oddly believable; it was wild but never so over the top that it pulled me out of it. It does lose a bit of momentum in the middle, with the characters(plus you, yourself watching) just waiting to see how this all ends. But the finale ties everything up nicely.

I was surprised I hadn't seen this movie advertised anywhere, but turns out this screening was a month before the official release. Hopefully, more people see it then because it worth a watch. All four, or five, of the main actors have great performances and chemistry which is what made the movie fun. Especially Molly Gordon.

Also, side note, it always blows my mind how long it takes to make movies. Every Q&A I've been to has someone saying, "we've been working on this for 7 years."I also hope the blooopers for this come out, I feel like it'd be a really fun watch.

I went into "Oh, Hi!" by Sophie Brooks with no expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised. The film follows a group of friends navigating their late twenties, but it feels so much more real than most movies in this genre. The dialogue is incredibly natural, almost like you're just eavesdropping on their conversations. It's funny without being over the top, and the quiet, emotional moments hit hard.

The acting is superb, especially the lead who portrays the central character's quiet anxiety so well. I loved how the film wasn't about a big dramatic event, but about the small, everyday struggles and triumphs that shape us. The use of a simple, indie soundtrack also really complemented the film's tone.

Is it worth watching? It depends. If you're looking for a low-key, heartfelt movie that feels genuine and relatable, give this a shot. It's a sweet, honest look at friendship and growing up that really resonated with me.

It'd be hard to imagine this being a "comedy" if Iris (Molly Gordon) was the one in handcuffs instead of Isaac (Logan Lerman). I'll give marks for the timely interventions of Max (Geraldine Viswanathan, who I'm liking more with each role) and Kenny (John Reynolds, being seamlessly funny and sober) as they basically kept the premise afloat after it nearly ran out of steam. Molly Gordon is quite good at playing the sort-of unhinged, relationship-crisis-facing Iris, and she's the emotional pivot, although we get her backstory in bits and pieces.

I feel like there are large chunks of Iris that we still don't know anything about, as opposed to Isaac who's the straightforward commitment-phobic guy in modern times. The writing also becomes loose in parts where "witchcraft" gets involved albeit in a harmless way, though even that area is dabbed with sweeter elements such as book-reading and girl-girl / guy-guy friendship. It's not some pathbreaking dark comedy or anything, but I appreciate the filmmaking decisions made by Sophie Brooks for the most part (especially the aesthetics).

The first half was really good, but I wasnt as fond of the ending of this movie. The movie is pretty good, but not much happens outside of the bedroom or house. As expected and as filmed. I wouldnt say its exciting but it does keep you engaged the first time. I was the only one laughing at certain scenes. Good but the rewatch value is pretty low id imagine

Watched at AMC on 7-29-2025.

This film was very enjoyable. Molly murdered the role and so did Logan. Sophie Brooks did a fantastic job. I saw this in a sold out theater and the audience was engaged and laughing throughout the entire film. I have seen almost every movie to release this year and I put it up there with the best of them. It was fun and thrilling and not overly done in any way. It was realistic but also pushed the norm. In my opinion if you didn't enjoy this film then you either have a personal vendetta against someone that worked on the film or you just hate having a good time. Whichever one it is I hope you get the help you need.
