It's hard to tell whether the lack of laughs in Jexi is a bug or a feature, but this AI rom-com is sorely in need of an OS update.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

Surely, bland cultural insights can't defeat a film whose main attraction is the promise of stupid, raunchy fun? Reader, Jexi fails even at that... Oct 14, 2019 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

The stranded DeVine, for all his goofy charms as an actor, quickly exhausts our patience; he's in nearly every frame of this movie, and his screen partner is a phone, which means a hell of a lot of mugging for the camera. Oct 14, 2019 | Full Review…

Lucas and Moore's film is filled with bugs, making it easy to unplug from its attempts to entertain and do literally anything else. Oct 13, 2019 | Full Review…

Jexi feels hopelessly out of step with the moment. Despite its subject matter, it's a flip phone movie in a smart phone world. Oct 13, 2019 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Lucas and Moore write some whiplash funny lines, and since the film is just a throwaway, you can enjoy it on a trivial synthetic revenge-of-the-nerd level. Oct 11, 2019 | Full Review…

Adam Devine is more enjoyable in small doses - like supporting roles and not leading the charge. Michael Pena, we feel your pain. Come back, all is forgiven - this, Dora, everything! Oct 22, 2019 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

Spends its time doing all of the tedious, schlocky things that romcoms do, only it does them with a laborious "extremely online" twist. Oct 20, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

If you want to make a movie with some regressive, oft-repeated views on technology, at least commit to the bit. Otherwise, don't bother. Oct 18, 2019 | Full Review…

Buyer beware: smartphones are bad for you. That's the eat-your-veggies premise of the promising but poorly programmed Jexi, a charming, laugh-challenged paranoid comedy about toxic technology and AI sociopathy. Oct 17, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Jexi never quite hits comedy gold and is probably better suited for a streaming release, but it's inventive, funny, and enjoyable enough to mildly recommend. Oct 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
