Jexi

This film is being massacred by critics. It's honestly not that bad of a movie. I wouldn't pay $20 to see it in theaters, but it's definitely worth watching at home. Whoever wrote Rose Bryne's lines was hilarious. JEXI had me cracking up and Michael Pena was awesome as usual. Adam Levine held it down but the cell phone stole the show. Check it out.

It's actually a funny movie. It's well written and thought provoking when you think about how much of our lives are connected to technology in some form or fashion. It gets a little weird at times, especially when it comes to phone sex, but the cast is able to pull it off. Alexandra Shipp is great in the movie and Adam Devine is having a better year than Adam Levine. It was actually a 2019, so it's been lit for a while. It made 9.3 million at the box office.

Phil has a major dependency issue -- he's addicted to his cellphone. He has no friends and his love life is nonexistent. Forced to upgrade to a new phone, Phil soon learns that the latest model comes with Jexi -- an artificial intelligence life coach, virtual assistant and cheerleader. With its help, he begins to get a real life. But as he becomes less dependent on the phone, Jexi starts to morph into a tech nightmare that's determined to keep Phil all to itself.

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.

O.k. - all the usual disclaimers, like 'This is no Oscar contender...', etc. Etc., but - this film is fuuuuny. Mr. Devine does a very decent job as the befuddled dork who doesn't know how to handle women, and Rose Byrne's 'Jexi' is absolutely spot on. I mean, seriously. She is fuuuuny. O.k., it's mostly unrealstic in that a gorgeous Alexandra Shipp would fall for such a foot-in-the-mouth dork who has barely any social skills, but the interaction between them, the great San Francisco background, the funny side characters (Michael Pena gets a big nod) make this a very watchable, funny li'l film, definitately worthy of a Netflix watch.

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.
