Jexi

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.

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

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.

If you can suspend disbelief Jexi is a cute movie with a cutting - if often heavy-handed critique of human technological reliance, but also a lot of heart. I may be partial because I adore Adam Devine, but I really was sold on this movie, even as someone who tends to be very critical of a movies pretense. Also, who doesn't want to hear Rose Byrne fake-orgasm in an AI/robot-voice?! John Leguizamo is entrancingly watchable as an Elon Musk-Essie Silicon Valley out of touch tech bro-zillionaire.

Also, also, the movie treats you to some really fantastic shots of San Francisco and let's you live a Kid-Cudi concert vicariously, so what is not to love?

I loathe the newish trend of reviewers giving anything they didn't enjoy with a 1/10 rating. It's making IMDb ratings less and less meaningful I think, and less reliable.

But anyways, when I finished watching this I wasn't sure whether I enjoyed it or not (a strange feeling). I think it wasn't a complete trainwreck, and the actors did as much as they could with a weak script. The direction and technical aspects were fine for a low-budget comedy.

The voice of the OS definitely got nerve-gratingly annoying very quickly, which was a big distraction. There was no comedic timing, and it sounded very dated, like the voice of the computer on the original Star Trek series. But, again, this wasn't the worst movie ever made. I got a few very genuine laughs watching this (a very few laughs, but still). At worst this is a nice meaningless & mindless piece of fluff that doesn't ask much investment of the viewer, or give a whole lot back in return, but I don't feel like I wasted any big part of my life watching it.
