Oh, Hi!

I've decided to attend yet another mystery movie Monday and this day we had Oh, Hi and I didn't really know too much going into the film as I've briefly heard of it and saw the trailer and didn't know what to expect. But I think the film delivers a hilarious movie with some excellent comedy throughout the movie as I found myself to truly be dying at some of the jokes thrown in this movie as they really did land for me and I found myself to have a great time with this film and the comedy elements thrown into this film. I found the romantic parts to be intriguing as well and found our leads to be such interesting characters and I really loved these characters of Iris played by Molly Gordon and also Isaac played by Logan Lerman who personally was my favorite character in this film and I really loved his performance. My one complaint with the characters is I wish they had more depth to them and sometimes in my personal opinion in some scenes they feel bland and boring but other than that I really do like these characters a lot. I also really liked the story they told in this film as I honestly expected to go into a Rom-Com but I was kind of surprised by the direction they take the romantic elements in this movie as I really found this direction to be really interesting for me and I really liked the direction they took as it didn't feel like every other boring rom-com with nothing going on in this film but I found this film to be a really fun and hilarious time. One other complaint in my opinion is I'm not the biggest fan of the ending since it felt like everything happened so quickly and I wish the movie would've been longer so we could've explored some of this stuff that happened at the end some more and it felt sort of rushed near the end in my personal opinion but other than my little complaints I found myself to have a great time with this movie and going into this movie with no expectations at all I was pleasantly surprised with this movie and I honestly throughly enjoyed it and I think this is worth checking out in theaters for sure once it officially releases theatrically.

I saw Oh, Hi! As the Regal Mystery Movie on July 7, 2025. I have never heard of it before that. Now, it is obviously made by and for a different generation than mine (Millennial). But I think that if you're at least a little open to it, you can have fun. I enjoy awkward characters and situations. And thats pretty much this whole film. Its a comedic and modern homage to Misery (1990).

Positives!

+Quirky fun dialogue.

+Main characters are odd and entertaining to watch.

+Good use of music throughout.

+Chuckles all along the way.

Negatives!

-Lacks big laughs.

-Ending was sufficient, but unsatisfying.

-No real resolution to the character problems.

Overall, Oh, Hi! Is a quirky and funny movie. It does lack any big laughs though; just continuous chuckles. The cast solidly plays their parts. If you're usually bothered by the younger generation, then this is NOT the film for you.

This film was very enjoyable. Molly murdered the role and so did Logan. Sophie Brooks did a fantastic job. I saw this in a sold out theater and the audience was engaged and laughing throughout the entire film. I have seen almost every movie to release this year and I put it up there with the best of them. It was fun and thrilling and not overly done in any way. It was realistic but also pushed the norm. In my opinion if you didn't enjoy this film then you either have a personal vendetta against someone that worked on the film or you just hate having a good time. Whichever one it is I hope you get the help you need.

Personally, 'Oh, Hi' did absolutely nothing for me. The actors were funny and likable, and the idea is amusing, but the way the entire film is presented makes it feel like a script that was written by a grade school child.

Firstly, I'll talk about the good. The opening 20-30 minutes was cute. The actor's chemistry mixed with some gorgeous cinematography made for quite the romantic setting. I was thoroughly enjoying what I was seeing. It's when the awkward sex scene mixed with the handcuffs begins that the film gets beyond bizarre and the story slips into someone's weird and childish fantasy brought to life.

The decisions the characters made had no real world weight to them. I mean for the plot to work, both of the main characters would have to have the mental capacity of a 13 year old. No adult would do the things that are done in the film. From the whole hostage situation in hopes for love, all the way up to doing the witchy seance scene that was something only a teenage girl would think of. It all just seemed so unrealistic and far removed from anything remotely palpable.

The ending also left a lot to be desired. There is absolutely no way, and I mean NO WAY, that I would've been the one apologizing after being handcuffed to a bed for 48 hours, and enduring what the main character had to endure for more than half of the film's runtime. Nor would she be the one I would be calling help for after, literally, speeding away from what was at that point a crime scene.

On the flipside, if a person didn't want a relationship, I honestly can't think of anybody that would take them out for a weekend together in the countryside. Complete with pretty music, wine, romance and all the extra things you could think of. And we're talking proposal level romantic here. The creator must have a really low opinion of males to think that this is a real thing someone would do for just a bit of fun. It's borderline offensive.

Overall, I can't recommend it. Far too unrealistic, and campy but in all the wrong ways. Again, this felt like a teenager's fantasy brought to life, but the film was far too adult for anything a teenager could be allowed to watch. All I could think of at the credits was the creator must have the mind of a child, and I wonder who hurt her to make this screenplay happen. The first 20-30 minutes are very sweet, but ultimately misleading as to the context of the rest of the film. And although the film does have some interesting points to make about love and the fear of relationships, it was just too dumb to be taken as anything more than a footnote in the larger picture here.

2 broken hearts out of 5.

I watch a lot of movies so I've grown jaded to most relationship dramas and attempts at building suspense, so after seeing this trailer I had already decided to intentionally avoid ever seeing this one.

But when I went to the Monday Mystery Movie and this is what they had for us, I didn't leave and I am glad I stayed.

At least, that's what I hope to convince Iris of. Just kidding, or am I?

(If you've seen the movie, you'll get it. If not, what are you waiting for?) And as for "brilliantly relatable"... I don't want to spoil anything, but we've all been there haven't we; taken things just a little too far at times?

But really, this a very enjoyable story that kept the entire audience engaged and laughing, especially after the strawberries.
