Being Black in the U.S. during the first half of XX Century really sucked, specialty down south.
I've gotta watch more movies with Chadwick Boseman. This movie was very good, but it was really him that drew me in.
Boseman is fast becoming one of the finest actors of this generation, and he brings to life one chapter of Marshall's career with aplomb. Credit to both men - a celebrated and accomplished lawyer, and the actor who plays him. A good film.
“It’s not really fires I’m after, Sam. It’s fire itself.”

Excellent performances by Chadwick Boseman & Josh Gad.

Better than expected, with the occasional funny moment. It could have been better though, as the obvious script could have been written by an A.I. infused algorithm.
Jexi is basically a long SNL sketch, taken way too far. It’s more like Her but for middle schoolers who giggle anytime they hear the word “penis” and think writing swear words = writing jokes.
Does this movie have:
An interesting and good script? No. It lacks any cleverness or originality, there’s nothing new and the joke “hey the phone swears and calls Phil names” goes on for the whole movie. Jexi is also very predictable, you’re always a mile ahead of it.
An understanding of technology or relationships? No. The movie tackles the “humans and technology” thing in the dumbest, most obvious way.
Entertaining leads with actual chemistry? No. I totally didn’t buy the relationship. Cate somehow fell in love with Phil, even though he was creepy and not charming. I think Adam Devine is good in Workaholics and The Righteous Gemstones but putting him as a lead is just not something that he can really carry.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL this was so funny!!!!!!!
Horny no more Jexi's quote: "This is terrible… fake orgasm! fake orgasm! fake orgasm!"
