What makes this comedy mildly, and even unexpectedly, enjoyable is the voice work of Rose Byrne, who voices the virtual assistant, Jexi. Her comic delivery, while still robotic, is full of well-timed gems.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 20, 2022

If you go into this movie knowing it's a sometimes puerile romcom about embracing technology and some of the downsides to it, then you'll enjoy it more. Or at all.

| Aug 5, 2021

The entire premise of Jexi, that a broken man needs to be fixed by a woman, has no place in modern-day filmmaking.

| Original Score: D | May 13, 2021

It is a good proposal to have a fun time and without more pretensions. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5.8/10 | Dec 29, 2020

Jexi is an affable and frequently funny spin on the classic Cyrano trope.

Workaholics' Adam DeVine and the disembodied voice of Rose Byrne are wonderfully puerile fun in this sweet but dirty-minded rom-com.

Jexi is not really a funny critique nor is it sufficiently terrifying. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 27, 2019

All I really know is I did not like Jexi, and it's hard for me to imagine many other people will.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 25, 2019

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!

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 22, 2019

Spends its time doing all of the tedious, schlocky things that romcoms do, only it does them with a laborious "extremely online" twist.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 21, 2019

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

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 17, 2019

This is an average comedy about a smart (aleck) phone.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 16, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2019

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...

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 14, 2019

Underwhelming raunchy comedy has tons of language, sex talk.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2019

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

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 14, 2019

Feel free to swipe left on this thinly sketched comedy that delivers a predictable barrage of gross-out gags and raunchy slapstick.

| Oct 14, 2019

Jexi feels hopelessly out of step with the moment. Despite its subject matter, it's a flip phone movie in a smart phone world.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 13, 2019
