Everything we know about Jexi, The Hangover writers’ raunchy A.I. comedy

Worried that big tech is using your smart assistant to spy on you? It could be worse.

Jexi,

 the latest comedy from the directors of Bad Moms and writers of The Hangover trilogy, stars Adam DeVine as Phil, a dysfunctional writer who gets a sassy new digital assistant named Jexi — think Alexa or Siri, but with attitude — who helps him pull together his life.

However,

Jexi

has other plans, and it’s not long before Phil’s “helpful” A.I. is trying to ruin him. Jexi is written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore and hits theaters on October 11, 2019. Here’s everything we know about Jexi so far.

The trailers

CBS Films has released two trailers for Jexi, both of which offer a good summary of the film’s general plot, with a focus on

Jexi’s

no-nonsense personality and raunchy dialogue. One trailer is much dirtier than the other, though. While Jexi‘s wide-release trailer is okay to watch wherever you are, the red-band variant is decidedly unsafe for work.

Jexi‘s green-band trailer, which is free of profanity and some of Jexi‘s dirtier gags, plays the movie like a tech-based romantic comedy. Think Her or Black Mirror with Lucas and Moore’s signature brand of off-color humor sprinkled on top. You can watch that one below.

The red-band trailer — which is the equivalent of an R-rating for a preview — doubles down on the profanity and sex jokes, although nothing is too graphic. Still, if you’re watching this one in public, you’ll want to wear headphones.

The cast

Jexi

stars Adam DeVine, a comedian that you probably know best as one of the co-creators and leads of Comedy Central’s Workaholics or from his appearances in Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2. From 2013 through 2016, DeVine also had his own show, Adam DeVine’s House Party, that mashed up live stand-up performances with scripted sketches.

Jexi

has two leading ladies, although only one actually appears onscreen. Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse, Love, Simon) plays Cate Finnegan, DeVine’s human love interest, while Rose Byrne voices the sadistic titular assistant.

They’re joined by a number of well-known actors and actresses, including Ant-Man scene-stealer Michael Peña as DeVine’s obnoxious boss. Comedians Ron Funches, Charlyne Yi, and Wanda Sykes and This Is Us‘ Justin Hartley also appear.

Whenever the NFL schedule has an exciting Thursday night game, it's always a good sign for the rest of the week. We got one this week as the Detroit Lions (12-1) defeated the Green Bay Packers (9-4) on a last-second field goal to win 34-31. The story of this game was the Lions' ability to convert on fourth down, with four conversions to keep drives alive.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this December 2024, stream this one
Two adults look at a child in Pete's Dragon.

It's not quite as dominant as Netflix, but Disney+ has emerged as one of the biggest streaming services in the world. As you peruse it, though, you might find that it mostly directs you toward the things you would expect to watch there (i.e. Star Wars, Marvel, and various animated movies).

If you're looking for something on Disney+ that's a little more off that beaten path, you should start with Pete's Dragon. While it's a live-action remake of a Disney animated classic, Pete's Dragon is not as soulless as many of those movies have been. Telling the story of a young boy who lives alone in the woods with a dragon, it's actually a pretty moving story. Here are three reasons you should check it out this December.
