Oh, Hi!

Enjoy the premise though had the roles been reversed this movie would have had a lot darker tone.

Me and the girlfriend both watched it and enjoyed it. Interestingly we both sided with the other party in the movie.

I felt like the movie should have swung for the fences a little more. There were laughs but I kept expecting things to escalate and it all stayed fairly subdued. Even the resolution was just the movie being like ok we ended.

The premise was the most memorable part of the movie. I don't know why they chose to make the show so grounded at the cost of the humor. You are a comedy go for the laughs. Give us something to quote!

Rating - 5.0: Overall, a generic and predictable indie rom-com that was obviously made by Gen Z theater kids from New York; this movie is definitely for someone, but that someone is definitely not me because I feel like I got my fix for this type of movie earlier in the year with 'Companion'.

Direction - Pretty Bad: The direction on a macro scale is your typical indie rom-com, and it was very obvious this movie was made by some Gen Z improv/theater student living in New York; while it isn't the exact same movie, it has a similar vibe to Companion, but quirkier and worse; the direction on a micro scale is very Gen Z indie rom-com; the storytelling is pretty bland, as it is a quirky Gen Z way to tell a pretty simple story; tension is built pretty poorly because you don't really take the movie seriously in the more tense moments, and the score really ruins the mood

Story - Bad: The concept is honestly not really that good, as it is just really psychotic behavior; I have a feeling this movie tries to empathize with Gordon, but they really shouldn't, despite what Lerman's character did; This movie has vibes of Companion, but is more simple and generic; The plot structure is linear and kinda short because there really isn't that much plot to go through; Character writing is pretty surface level, what you would expect from an indie rom-com

Screenplay - Pretty Bad: The dialogue is very Indie Rom-Com, influenced by the Gen-Z New York Arts scene; the humor is pretty hit or miss, but ended up missing more times for me; the symbolism is there, but it is not a good message, although this movie does not really take itself seriously; the foreshadowing makes the movie incredibly predictable; I felt like I was in this movie's head the entire time as I was winning a tennis match 6-0, 6-0 as I could anticipate and predict its next move

Acting - Decent: Molly Gordon - Decent (Typical Gen-Z, New York theater/improv acting style that is quirky), Logan Lerman - Decent (Has some charisma and decent chemistry with Gordon; decently funny), Geraldine Viswanathan - Decent to Pretty Good (Plays the comedic relief friend pretty well and has decent chemistry with Gordon), John Reynolds - Decent (Comedic relief, pretty silly, and fun), Rest of the cast - Decent (The cast is very small, but the chemistry within the cast is decent)

Score - Pretty Bad: Made the movie feel cheap and tacky, which is sad because it is an indie movie

Soundtrack - Decent: Typical indie movie soundtrack

Cinematography - Decent: Typical Indie Rom-Com camerawork

Editing - Decent: Typical Indie Rom-Com editing

Production Design - Decent: Gave the movie Companion feels, but if it was indie and more of a rom-com

Pacing - Pacing is a little slow because there really isn't that much plot to go through

Climax - Climax does a lot, but it is not really executed well as it mitigated all the stakes set in this movie; I really was not a fan of how this ended because it made me feel like I wasted any time investing in this story

Tone - Tone is very much an Indie Rom-Com made by Gen Z Theater/Improv kids from New York; the movie has shades of Companion, but in a more indie, goofy way

Final Notes - Saw as an AMC Screen Unseen; Went in blind.

I saw Oh, Hi! As the Regal Mystery Movie on July 7, 2025. I have never heard of it before that. Now, it is obviously made by and for a different generation than mine (Millennial). But I think that if you're at least a little open to it, you can have fun. I enjoy awkward characters and situations. And thats pretty much this whole film. Its a comedic and modern homage to Misery (1990).

Positives!

+Quirky fun dialogue.

+Main characters are odd and entertaining to watch.

+Good use of music throughout.

+Chuckles all along the way.

Negatives!

-Lacks big laughs.

-Ending was sufficient, but unsatisfying.

-No real resolution to the character problems.

Overall, Oh, Hi! Is a quirky and funny movie. It does lack any big laughs though; just continuous chuckles. The cast solidly plays their parts. If you're usually bothered by the younger generation, then this is NOT the film for you.

I watch a lot of movies so I've grown jaded to most relationship dramas and attempts at building suspense, so after seeing this trailer I had already decided to intentionally avoid ever seeing this one.

But when I went to the Monday Mystery Movie and this is what they had for us, I didn't leave and I am glad I stayed.

At least, that's what I hope to convince Iris of. Just kidding, or am I?

(If you've seen the movie, you'll get it. If not, what are you waiting for?) And as for "brilliantly relatable"... I don't want to spoil anything, but we've all been there haven't we; taken things just a little too far at times?

But really, this a very enjoyable story that kept the entire audience engaged and laughing, especially after the strawberries.

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.
