nearly everything misfires here - bizarrely so, since we can see where the laughs should come, how they would work, and how a more competent movie would get from A to Z
Jon Lucas and Scott Moore's "Jexi" is the rarest sort of extremely dumb movie; A benign, artless, nothing of a movie that feels cobbled together with the same app-driven, gig-economy mentality that Phil is trying to disavow
"Jexi" is like a 21st-century "Knight Rider" crossed with "I Dream of Jeannie"; Jon Lucas and Scott Moore write some whiplash funny lines, and since the film is just a throwaway, you can enjoy it on a trivial synthetic revenge-of-the-nerd level
