I watched a silly movie called JEXI last night and laughed out loud the entire time. I had never heard of it before, but the preview image made I look like Michael Pena was the star, and he’s a riot, so i took a chance. Turned out that the star was Adam Devine, who I can now deal with having recently watched the Righteous Gemstones.
Then, I realized Rosebyrne was in it. And I have a deeep crush on Rosebyrne. Deeeeeep. She’s just one word for me. Rosebyrne.
The movie’s theme is a somewhat common one in this era, where a phone/OS sorta takes over a person’s life, but this phone (Siri/Alexa/Cortana/etc.) OS is Voiced by Rosebyrne, and she’s hysterical. Wicked, crazy, vulgar... Fun. Ny.
And then there’s Alexandra Shipp, who I knew nothing about, but gotdamn she is cute.
So, a standard premise, but a pretty good execution, and really funny with a great cast that also includes a couple of my other favorites, Charlyne Yi and Wanda Sikes.
HBOMax.
