Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

I hope she breaks a leg, but I am overwhelmed by the energy. I'm suspicious. We'll see...I'm getting annoyed by his level of dependence. I saw that coming. I don't like her. Like a coach that thinks they have to motivate by humiliation. No Joe. I know what you did... And she would know how to uninstall herself... And there is not uninstall within the app... Ugh!I don't like Joe and I don't like the mentor. This is a skit. We know how people feel about someone else "dropping an app" on their phone without permission. Come on... kick the doorknob... HAYou better give that phone back! I hate people who borrow stuff and don't return it. Or treat it previous as it is not theirs. Clearly this bleeds into my grudge issue... Okay. Okay. Colorful charts make a good seque. Don't you dare mentor...I still don't like her methods :)

I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies. It is primarily a relationship story about a young married couple. He is a programmer and she is in customer service. He is bright but "technical" while she is bright and friendly with lots of empathy.Martin Starr is the programmer, Joe Larsen, his project is designing something that most of us encounter every time we make a call to a company. A software system that uses human voices and programmed to find out what you need and direct you to the appropriate department. Something real people used to do, just a few years ago.Joe was having difficulty with the voice until he realized that his cute wife, Mae Whitman as Emily Klein, had the perfect voice and perfect characteristics for his project. Against her better judgment she let him record conversations she made in the normal course of her job and he in turn used her as his source for the programming.Had it only been that everything would have been fine. However it takes a darker turn as Joe begins to pay more attention to his programmed voice than to his wife. To the point that he was relying on the computerized conversations for sexual arousal. The reason I found this movie worthwhile is it explores, in a fictional way, the impact of technology on our personal lives and how it may easily interfere with normal human relationships. Both actors are excellent in their roles.

I was browsing through Netflix last night after watching the latest Amy Schumer special (and being disappointed) and found this movie. I saw the description and was immediately intrigued. Without giving too much away, Joe is a programmer that uses his wife's voice and likeness for a telephone answering system for a client. What results is resentment on the part of his wife, Emily, as he seems to become attached to his creation (you'll see what you mean when you watch it). It was really touching to see how great of a partner Emily is and how ignorant Joe is to his wife's needs. It ends on a happy note though and if nothing else, I fell in love with Mae Whitman by the end of the movie. And at the very least, it seems like a cautionary tale for how technology can consume you or sometimes replace real human connections. If it means anything, I've been thinking about the movie since I finished watching it late last night. Definitely recommend.

It is a story of a programmer and relation with his spouse and his friends. And how the relationship goes down when the Joe(the programmer) starts a project with his colleague to create an Artificially Intelligent answering machine for the client of the company in which he is employed. He involved his wife Emily on it because she is so good in handling customers and clients in a hotel in which she is working. Meanwhile Emily(programmer's wife) has different interests like working in different kind of theater and after sometime she does't like to work with Joe. Joe ,unable to understand her feelings let her go and stick to AI software though software is kind of feels like humanly. When he realized that Emily (AI) is not Emily(wife). He regret that and makes everything good with her. The story is quite interesting and contains real drama here. If you are a programmer or person who understand little bit of Artificial Intelligence then the movie could be intimating and interesting & if you are not then also you will feel the story and drama. Anyways this movie is full utilization of time and money .The people who worked on this movie has done great job on it. It's good to watch movies like that.
