We have a hilarious NSFW trailer for the dark comedy Jexi, starring Adam Devine (Pitch Perfect, Modern Family) as Phil, a lonely young pop culture internet writer who is obsessed with his phone.
When he gets the latest version and gets it home, he is surprised to find out that the new virtual assistant within the phone, voiced by Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids, Neighbors), is a little abrupt, and a lot too personal. At first she seems to be helpful, but then she gets too involved, and it’s like a fatal attraction scenario with a phone.
Here’s the full synopsis:
Phil (Adam Devine) 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 (Rose Byrne) – 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.
The hilarious cast also includes Michael Pena (Ant-Man, End of Watch), Justin Hartley (This is Us), Alexandra Shipp (Love, Simon, X-Men movies), Charlyne Yi (Paper Heart, House), and Wanda Sykes (Bad Moms, The New Adventure of Old Christine).
Check out the trailer below, and see Jexi in theaters October 11th.
