Hello Buddies!

Are we slaves to technology? I partly certainly am, while I'm writing this article from my Smartphone and you are reading this article in a certain way you are too.

While we're all more or less succubi to the notifications and social media, Jexi goes to absurd and often meaningless levels.

A phone that in addition to being a jealous, capricious artificial intelligence, wants to manipulate the protagonist's life into the unthinkable.

The good Adam Devine is adept at making absurd and embarrassing situations very funny, in a sort of very soft criticism of a society totally immersed in its virtual interactions without paying much attention to the real ones and to what is around it.

I don't like love stories in a film, if not in a marginal way, but here, even though it's almost the backbone of the story, I found it nice and funny.

Jexi is a kind of Alexa, or Siri if you prefer, very intrusive and very much like a human, who advises the boy on the social behavior he should have instead of shutting himself off and remaining in total solitude.

Once she comes out of her shell and gets her dream job, friends and a relationship, Jexi is put aside and takes it to death, trying with unpleasant stratagems to win back her puppet by declaring him unconditional love.

Probably at this point I'm thinking that she's a total crap, in fact it is, his purely purpose it's to be fun until idiocy limits and exaggerates by exposing vulgarity, but at the same time manages to leave a bit of bitterness in your mouth and confidence in a humanity that seems to have taken a road so straight that will hardly find a curve.
