Phil makes top 10 pop lists at work. His only "friend" is cellphone Siri. His new phone includes AI helper Jexi, who improves/controls his social life.
A story about Phil, a single and socially awkward young adult's love for phones, that began when he was given a flip-phone as a youngster. His personality and adoration for his phone leads him to stay away from developing friendships and having a social life. Not long into the film, his phone breaks, he gets a new one, and this phone is quite special, thanks to the virtual assistant on the new phone, named Jexi. I didn't expect to like this one much. I never warmed to Adam DeVine in Workaholics and it seemed like one of those average comedies. It kept me consistently laughing though, partially thanks to Rose Byrne who works well as the voice of Jexi. Some of the character development/choices seems slightly rushed or odd but overall it's a fun film. 3.5-3.
