It doesn’t take any type of AI to figure out that the professional marriage between Melissa McCarthy and director Ben Falcone has to end. Superintelligence is another nail in the coffin of McCarthy’s once stellar comic career.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 9, 2022

An inoffensive but unimaginative comedy...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2022

...offers plenty of opportunities for McCarthy to clown, but there's no-one to play off apart from Corden...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 16, 2021

By the end, there's little left to chew on beyond some familiar, shallow commentary on the invasiveness of modern technology.

| Jun 5, 2021

It is painful to sit through Superintelligence beyond a point, simply because the film's utter confusion at locating itself as either a comedy or a thriller keeps being an utter disappointment.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 10, 2021

Misguided and a missed opportunity.

| Mar 9, 2021

For the record, I don't think the people behind Superintelligence are bad, I just wish their judgment had been a bit more super.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 29, 2021

Shot through with an appealing sweetness, the film leans heavily on McCarthy's charm, comedic chops and ability to deliver nuanced emotion. Fortunately, she's more than capable of delivering.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 11, 2021

There is both an unexpected sweetness and relaxed energy in play here that realises the movie's limited ambitions with ease.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2021

It's a massive moral wrapped in founts of fun.

| Jan 5, 2021

A half-baked, scattered mess that gives up on itself almost as quickly as the audience does.

| Jan 3, 2021

McCarthy is hysterical as always; the film has a sweet ending with thoughts of hope for our human nature.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 29, 2020

I'll admit, I was rooting for armageddon...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 28, 2020

Superintelligence isn't very smart

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 21, 2020

Rarely funny and completely nonsensical - the plot is an absolute mess - Superintelligence wastes genuine talent on an absolute non-event of a movie

| Dec 19, 2020

As per usual in McCarthy's growing resume of passable mainstream vehicles, her talent is mostly wasted. It's stuff like this that makes me want to shake her and scream, "stop doing this to your career!"

| Original Score: 2 / 5 | Dec 18, 2020

Melissa McCarthy is such a wonderful actor that it remains a shame that she keeps doing humorless and desperate movies like this.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 8, 2020

It's frustrating when a film begins with a promise and then settles on doing the same old, same old.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 4, 2020

If nothing else, it takes real guts to unironically name your fairly stupid comedy 'Superintelligence.'

| Dec 3, 2020

Ultimately, Superintelligence is neither super nor intelligent, but in all fairness, Middlingdimwittedness would be a terrible title.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 3, 2020
