Jexi

All I really know is I did not like Jexi, and it's hard for me to imagine many other people will.

Adam Devine is more enjoyable in small doses - like supporting roles and not leading the charge. Michael Pena, we feel your pain. Come back, all is forgiven - this, Dora, everything!

Spends its time doing all of the tedious, schlocky things that romcoms do, only it does them with a laborious "extremely online" twist.

If you want to make a movie with some regressive, oft-repeated views on technology, at least commit to the bit. Otherwise, don't bother.

Buyer beware: smartphones are bad for you. That's the eat-your-veggies premise of the promising but poorly programmed Jexi, a charming, laugh-challenged paranoid comedy about toxic technology and AI sociopathy.

This is an average comedy about a smart (aleck) phone.

Jexi never quite hits comedy gold and is probably better suited for a streaming release, but it's inventive, funny, and enjoyable enough to mildly recommend.

Surely, bland cultural insights can't defeat a film whose main attraction is the promise of stupid, raunchy fun? Reader, Jexi fails even at that...

Underwhelming raunchy comedy has tons of language, sex talk.

The stranded DeVine, for all his goofy charms as an actor, quickly exhausts our patience; he's in nearly every frame of this movie, and his screen partner is a phone, which means a hell of a lot of mugging for the camera.
