Remember when 2013's Her made fans believe that an artificially intelligent virtual assistant and an introverted soul could fall in love? The Adam DeVine-led comedy film [1] Jexi is definitely not like that.
The movie follows Phil (DeVine), a writer at a website with few friends and a serious addiction to his phone [2]. When a new upgrade to the latest model features Jexi (voiced by Rose Byrne), a virtual assistant with a penchant for brutal honesty, his dependency takes on a new level. Jexi helps Phil get a life, which includes a real-life girlfriend, but things quickly take a Smart House-esque turn for the worst [3] when Jexi decides she wants Phil all for herself.
You'll never be able to plug your phone into its charger again, but the trailer is still definitely worth a watch! Jexi drops in theaters on Oct. 11.
