Her character is selected by a powerful Artificial Intelligence as the most “average person,” which is how the AI will determine whether to save humanity or destroy it. Of course, love has to play a part in the guise of her ex (Bobby Cannavale). In another attempt to move away from her broad comic style, McCarthy is attempting to create a more endearing character (with just a few of her signature pratfalls). The scenario is all too familiar and the writing by Steve Mallory never offers much in the way of fun moments or interesting characters (although James Corden’s always amusing). Overall, it’s a rather bland romantic turn with a tired computer-domination plot.… Expand

The concept of an ai developing beyond singularity (human level intelligence) is a fascinating one and the concept of a rom com around this could've been a touching one (her tackled this concept excellently by comparison).

Artificial intelligence becomes self-aware, judges humanity and concludes that it is better to destroy it for the good of the planet. If in "WarGames" (Badham 1983) the threat was foiled thanks to a cognitive learning (rationality), Falcone and his wife McCarthy cite the previous movie and make an interesting variation on the theme: the threat is foiled thanks to a love learning (affectivity). What's more, super AI admits that it doesn't understand the logic behind our sentimental choices and decisions, so it concedes to us and itself additional time to try to understand us. In short, it admits that it is not better than us in the analysis of our emotional behavior. Good idea, a little less the realization.… Expand
