This is definitely not a family movie and quite a weird one, imho. It has a PG12 rating but shouldn’t really be seen by anyone younger than 18.

The movie starts off with a lonely character that’s going through a divorce and can’t exactly seem to move on, and he works at an office where letters are written by dictating to a computer, now that would definitely be a loud office environment. I’ve worked in a call center and that was quite noisy can’t imagine how an environment where everyone dictates a letter to a computer would be.

The sexual content is shown early in the movie with the character viewing some nude photos of a pregnant woman on his mobile device and then there’s a scene with some phone sex that gets weird. The movie is quite strange in several instances. Later on, he shares a similar sexual encounter with the OS.

Everyone seems to point, one way or another, that it’s just weird the fact that the main character is pretty much dating the OS and he notices this as well toward the end. This part, I feel, that does relate to reality where couples just don’t see how bad their relationship is while others can see that. After a while one of the partners will be able to see how bad it was. Even the terrible child actor thinks it’s creepy.

That has been the worst child actor I’ve seen. If that scene was the best one that they had, how does the others look? How many takes did they even have to go through?

This is a movie that gets weirder as it goes on and does touch on several subjects in regards to relationships and at the end the OS goes away…guess the company noticed how much of a social mess it was creating that they decided to take the OS away.

I saw it on Netflix and gave it 2 stars. I just didn’t really like the movie and found it really weird. Was surprised to see that it has a high rating in Rotten Tomatoes.
