Synopsis
A fun comedy about one of our society's problems: the massive use of mobile phones. Phil (Adam DeVine) is addicted to his smartphone and has bought the latest mobile phone on the market. Phil does not have many friends and his co-workers pass him, so addiction to his device is one of the few sources of happiness in his life. His mobile, Jexi (Rose Byrne) is programmed to make life easier, but little by little, strange things begin to happen with the artificial intelligence of his mobile. The situation will become more difficult when Phil meets a girl and his mobile begins to feel jealous of her. That's why Phil's cell phone starts to annoy him: he sends pictures of his penis to the entire office, wakes him up at odd hours, insults people and talks without anyone ordering it ... All so that Jexi can have a romantic relationship with Phil and that they are very happy together, at the cost of their social life.
This movie is directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, starring Adam DeVine as Phil, Rose Byrne as Jexi, Michael Peña as Phil's boss, and other faces such as Alexandra Shipp, Justin Hartley, Charlyne Yi, Wanda Sykes, Ron Funches and Marcella Bragio Disconnect your mobile, find some friends to go to the cinema and enjoy this comedy.

Lucas and Moore turn Phil?s love of ?Days of Thunder? into a good running gag, they write witty nasty small roles for Wanda Sykes (as a had-it-up-to-here phone-boutique clerk) and Michael Peña (as…
