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.

Critics Consensus

It's hard to tell whether the lack of laughs in Jexi is a bug or a feature, but this AI rom-com is sorely in need of an OS update.

Workaholics' Adam DeVine and the disembodied voice of Rose Byrne are wonderfully puerile fun in this sweet but dirty-minded rom-com.

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...

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.

3/5

What makes this comedy mildly, and even unexpectedly, enjoyable is the voice work of Rose Byrne, who voices the virtual assistant, Jexi. Her comic delivery, while still robotic, is full of well-timed gems.

If you go into this movie knowing it's a sometimes puerile romcom about embracing technology and some of the downsides to it, then you'll enjoy it more. Or at all.

The entire premise of Jexi, that a broken man needs to be fixed by a woman, has no place in modern-day filmmaking.

This silly little comedy is shallow, predictable, cussy, ridiculous, and kind of scary. But at least it's all that in an entertaining kind of way.

This movie was hilarious... My mother, sister and I laughed almost nonstop. It's definitely for a mature audience.

It was a hilarious concept. I loved the jokes and Jexis orgasm scenes (both fake and explosive). My favorite line of Adam Levines was when he reprised hard pass it was an all around funny movie.

The language was pretty bad & they could have left out the naked Pics for sure.
