Storyline

Phil has a major dependency issue - he's addicted to his phone. He has no friends, he has a job writing pop culture "Top 10" lists, and his love life is non-existent. But his Facebook status is about to change. When he is forced to upgrade his phone, the latest model comes with an unexpected feature...Jexi - an A.I. life coach, virtual assistant and cheerleader. With her help, Phil begins to get a real life. But as he becomes less dependent on his phone, Jexi's artificial intelligence morphs into a tech nightmare determined to keep Phil all to herself, even if it means ruining his chances of finding success.

Trivia

The reason for Phil's lower legs being strangely hidden by socks when posing for a dick pic is due to the significant scarring Adam Devine has due to an childhood accident.

User Reviews

Comedies are dead

Why make garbage like this? This movie could have been very funny but they decided to embrace sophomoric raunch over comedy.

What is Hollywood doing to the comedy genre? Audiences have to endure this crap, look at the past entries like Stuber, The Hustler, and Long Shot; RIP to comedy and this maybe the final nail in the coffin.
