Time to relax a bit and today I have a quite decent comedy for you. I wouldn’t say it’s a must-see, but in the end I decided to recommend it to you as it can actually brighten your day and remind you about the importance of socialising. I know, I’m being a bit controversial saying it now as most of us is stuck at home. Still, even in those difficult times, we should remember about not letting technology replace humans in our life. To the plot, then! We get to meet Phil (Adam DeVine) who has a rather boring job and his biggest pleasure in life is getting back home and just sinking into the internet world. He’s absolutely obsessed with his cellphone and almost loses his mind when it gets destroyed by accident. Luckily, he can buy a new one very fast and return to his virtual reality. While setting up the new cellphone, he activates Jexi (voice – Rose Byrne), the device’s assistant. However, she’s not much help for Phil as she gets him into trouble and slowly makes the man dependent on her. Generally, it’s a comedy, so even if the plot sounds serious, it’s not really. It’s actually pretty goofy and sometimes I felt way too much cringe. But I’m recommending this film because it’s easy to watch and it can still leave you reflecting on your life. I know that these days it’s very difficult to meet with people, yet try not to let your devices make decisions for you. They are supposed to be your assistants, not bosses. I would be a hypocrite if I said that I don’t use my phone at all. I do, but I also remember to leave it from time to time and the silent mode is turned on constantly as I don’t want any apps to disturb me when I’m doing something else. To sum up, don’t expect too much from this comedy, but I think it’s still worth to see it and remind ourselves who’s the boss in our life.
My rating: 5.5/10
