What critics compared Superintelligence to
“Her” was cute and all, but the combined torpor of last year’s “Jexi” and Melissa McCarthy’s equally grim new “Superintelligence” is enough to retcon Spike Jonze’s bittersweet cyber-romance into the Manhattan Project of Hollywood’s worst new sub-genre.
It’s obvious the filmmaker’s probably watched Spike Jonze’s “Her” followed by “Jexi” and thought it was possible to land somewhere in the middle.
What Movies Will It Remind You Of?: Besides the previous McCarthy-Falcone blandster comedies, Superintelligence brings to mind Her with a barely remedial IQ.
And with others it's a singular computer that makes quite the impression on viewers, be that Proteus IV in the barely seen "Demon Seed" (which was way ahead of its time warning about home automation) or the game playing WOPR in "Warm Games."
