Jexi

Super hilarious!! Totally could relate to this movie. The writers totally point out the problem we have facing nowadays. Very entertaining movie!!

Watched on Netflix randomly, found myself laughing most of the time.

Never knew anything about this movie prior so gave it a shot. Damn, this movie is geniusly funny, and I usually have resistance to comedy films. I didn't predict a random watch on a weekday night would make my week.

Story is as simple as it gets, guy is addicted to his phone, his new phone forces him into a new routine, he goes with it, adventures happen, and well..thats the plot.

This movie struck me hard, as a person who is making efforts to reduce my phone usage. It felt relevant, as there is a lot to life if I look beyond the phone as it cannot make me happy alone.

That being said, the humor is top notch, I am a hidden fan of adult like comedy and Jexi has mastered that craft. I am happy to deem this movie was one of my top favorites due to its humor alone.

I actually respect this enjoyable little trifle because it never promises or tries to be more than what it is: 80 minutes of mindless fluff/escapism. Sometimes that's all you need.

I live in an EU country where this movie is not scheduled to be shown (if is to be believed, I'd have to go to Hungary to see in it a theatre!). What we normally get from America in our big cinemas are the Hollywood big-budget comic-book/big-name blockbusters. I got coerced into seeing "Ad Astra" and "The Irishman and hated them both.

"Jexi" is SO not my kind of movie! I tend to watch stuff from my country (the cerebral stuff; but we produce our share of crap, too) and our neighbouring countries, most of which is not in English and will never be shown in America except in Art Houses with subtitles.

My favourite English-language films so far this year have been "The Nightingale" (Australia), "The Lighthouse" (Canada?), "Jojo Rabbit" (New Zealand?), and "Official Secrets" (UK).

Most of them are rather dark/brutal (even "Jojo Rabbit" is not all comedy), so "Jexi" was just what I needed: to shut off my brain for 80 minutes. Some of the jokes are laugh-out-loud funny. I particularly liked one about Bernie Sanders. I'd never heard of Adam Devine (some of the reviews here really dislike his previous work; I was surprised to learn that he is 36 and has 63 credits , none of which I have heard of) and thought he did an above-average job with the screen play handed to him.

Not everything can have Anthony Hopkins or Quentin Tarantino or Brad Pitt (wait: maybe everything CAN have Brad Pitt) or Robert DeNiro or Jennifer Lopez or Al Pacino, so these little five-million-dollar-budget movies have their place. Definitely not for everyone!

Hey to all the ones who want to see something fun and laugh. The main actor Adam Levine is just full of energy and this is a funny film to watch, especially if you are into raunchy humor and films which do not take itselves seriously. The story is contemporary and the addition of Rose Byrne as the voice of AI Jexi is one of the funniest characters voiced . Don't look for script holes and mistakes or for a big meaning in every words of the characters. Just take it for what it is; a funny tech-comedy which will entertain you. This film is actually a tad smarter (just a tad) than you would expect and does present a kind of "problem" for overusing and over-trusting modern tech and smartphones... 8/10.

Felt like this movie was missing to much like this is mostly a teen movie not really for adults. I'd say no diffrence in any other teen movie to be honest yet still found myself laughing here and there. But nowhere as much as i though i would if your a young adult or a teenager id recommend this movie but its the same teen film love story as all the others. Though this film has an amazing cast it kind of fell flat on its face for me worth it kind off for a few laughs as its free on amazon prime. I would not pay to rent this movie and also a movie about a mobile phone should have had more of a powerful message than it did. Plus side acting was great some of the punchlines and jokes hit the spot so i'd give it.

6/10 i'd recommend if ur into teenage jokes
