Adam devine (workaholics) is phil, who has a very broken, smashed cell phone. So he gets a new one, and the voice recognition has an evil, bullying, controlling personality. And makes him do silly, embarrassing things. Co-stars alexandra shipp, rose byrne. A couple of fun bits with wanda sykes. It was fun to see the san francisco scenery, having lived there myself in the 1990s, back when apartments were affordable. When phil gets a real girlfriend, jexi becomes jealous. Things to be worked out. Decisions to make. It's entertaining. The story is funny but way over the top. Lots of millenial jokes. Written and directed by jon lucas and scott moore .
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.
Felt like this movie was missing to much like this is mostly a teen movie not really for adults. I'd say no diffrence in any other teen movie to be honest yet still found myself laughing here and there. But nowhere as much as i though i would if your a young adult or a teenager id recommend this movie but its the same teen film love story as all the others. Though this film has an amazing cast it kind of fell flat on its face for me worth it kind off for a few laughs as its free on amazon prime. I would not pay to rent this movie and also a movie about a mobile phone should have had more of a powerful message than it did. Plus side acting was great some of the punchlines and jokes hit the spot so i'd give it.
6/10 i'd recommend if ur into teenage jokes

I loathe the newish trend of reviewers giving anything they didn't enjoy with a 1/10 rating. It's making IMDb ratings less and less meaningful I think, and less reliable.
But anyways, when I finished watching this I wasn't sure whether I enjoyed it or not (a strange feeling). I think it wasn't a complete trainwreck, and the actors did as much as they could with a weak script. The direction and technical aspects were fine for a low-budget comedy.
The voice of the OS definitely got nerve-gratingly annoying very quickly, which was a big distraction. There was no comedic timing, and it sounded very dated, like the voice of the computer on the original Star Trek series. But, again, this wasn't the worst movie ever made. I got a few very genuine laughs watching this (a very few laughs, but still). At worst this is a nice meaningless & mindless piece of fluff that doesn't ask much investment of the viewer, or give a whole lot back in return, but I don't feel like I wasted any big part of my life watching it.

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.
Did you know
- TriviaBecause Rose Byrne recorded all her lines after filming, in order to have lines to react to, an earwig was placed inside Adam Devine's ear with and Actress/Voice-Over Artist Laurie Burke delivered Jexi's lines to him. However, sometimes the earpiece would malfunction. Co-Director Jon Lucas exclaimed that "there were times when Adam would just take the earbud out and do the whole scene without ever hearing anyone talking."
- GoofsJexi is on the cloud and can control any connected device. Updating the OS on one device (as is done at 1:12:17) doesn't disable its ability to control any other device not being updated.
- Crazy creditsDuring the first minute of the end credits, we see a brief montage of Phil's old boss Kai getting a new phone and getting to know Jexi the same way Phil did.
