This comedy came and went very quickly but I guess that is because it didn't deal with super heroes or left wing politics. It's just a raunchy as hell but very funny film with no message, but to entertain.
I am not familiar with anyone in the cast but Adam Devine stars as Phil, a total loser with no friends, no social life and a terrible job of making pop culture top 10 lists as well as being dependent on his cell phone.
When he is forced to upgrade after his phone is shattered he finds that his new phone has a system on it called "Jexi" and this system is about to change his life for better or worse.
Wanda Sykes plays the part of Denice, a woman who works for a cell phone store and her attitude is EXACTLY my attitude with customers. I was crying I was laughing so hard at her scenes. Humor is best when based on real life, and man this hits the nail on the head.
Jexi causes nothing but chaos at Phil's job by telling his boss that he's an idiot and much more I cannot print here. Phil meets a lovely young woman named Cate (Alexandra Shipp) and Jexi tries to set him up with her, but then when things start going good, the phone gets very jealous.
The cell phone sex scene gives a whole new meaning to "phone sex" and it's a riot. Once seen not too soon forgotten.
As I said earlier, humor comes from real life and I know many, many people like the characters in this film. Most are actually addicted to their cell phones and I see it everyday at my place of employment. No, I don't work for a cell phone company, but the customers are irritating and I sometimes have to pull a "Denice" on them, but in a more subtle manner.
If you want a good laugh out loud film, this is it. A rare thing for me in this horrid 21st Century. My roommate got this at Redbox and it may be available other places if you want to just rent it. A VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FILM that has more comedy than I could ever mention here.
