Jexi: un celular sin filtro

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.

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.

"Jexi" starring Adam Devine (Modern Family) and Alexandra Shipp. First thing to know is this is NOT a movie for kids under 16. Very adult humor and language. With that said, it's an adult comedy and it's really well done. Jexi is the artificial intelligence in a new smart phone. I give the credit to Kurk Vonnegut's 1950 short story EPICAC about a computer the develops an awareness and even falls in love asked being asked to write love poetry for the inspiration for this movie. We can also give credit to the very cute 1984 movie "Electric Dreams" where a computer is asked to compose music for a man's love interest.. and the computer gets a little too involved.

Unlike EPICAC and "Electric Dreams", "Jexi" is far more raunchy and mischievous. Devine has been great in his film work and doesn't fail to entertain. Shipp is the epitome of the cute love interest (she's an excellent actress, very natural, and stunningly pretty). Wanda Sykes isn't on the screen a lot, but she's her natural "hoot" and oh, so, memorable! Funny lady!! And Michael Peña is also a blast at being Phil's (Devine's) boss in the movie.

Very good adult comedy. If you're easily offended, don't see it. If you think your kid is mature enough to watch it, I'd suggest seeing it first. I'd give this a 6.7. Worth watching!

Super hilarious!! Totally could relate to this movie. The writers totally point out the problem we have facing nowadays. Very entertaining movie!!

I actually respect this enjoyable little trifle because it never promises or tries to be more than what it is: 80 minutes of mindless fluff/escapism. Sometimes that's all you need.

I live in an EU country where this movie is not scheduled to be shown (if is to be believed, I'd have to go to Hungary to see in it a theatre!). What we normally get from America in our big cinemas are the Hollywood big-budget comic-book/big-name blockbusters. I got coerced into seeing "Ad Astra" and "The Irishman and hated them both.

"Jexi" is SO not my kind of movie! I tend to watch stuff from my country (the cerebral stuff; but we produce our share of crap, too) and our neighbouring countries, most of which is not in English and will never be shown in America except in Art Houses with subtitles.

My favourite English-language films so far this year have been "The Nightingale" (Australia), "The Lighthouse" (Canada?), "Jojo Rabbit" (New Zealand?), and "Official Secrets" (UK).

Most of them are rather dark/brutal (even "Jojo Rabbit" is not all comedy), so "Jexi" was just what I needed: to shut off my brain for 80 minutes. Some of the jokes are laugh-out-loud funny. I particularly liked one about Bernie Sanders. I'd never heard of Adam Devine (some of the reviews here really dislike his previous work; I was surprised to learn that he is 36 and has 63 credits , none of which I have heard of) and thought he did an above-average job with the screen play handed to him.

Not everything can have Anthony Hopkins or Quentin Tarantino or Brad Pitt (wait: maybe everything CAN have Brad Pitt) or Robert DeNiro or Jennifer Lopez or Al Pacino, so these little five-million-dollar-budget movies have their place. Definitely not for everyone!
