Good Concept, Poor Execution
I adore Crazy Little Thing Called Love (2010), so I was excited to see the main couple starring together again in this Netflix movie. But what a disappointment AI Love You turned out to be. The production and special effects level are pretty well done, but the poor writing, poor editing, poor directing, and in some cases poor acting doom this movie. The concept is intriguing since we are starting (or already have) to live and function with technology: we are constantly on our smart phones, our homes are integrated with smart technologies, we ask Alexa or Siri questions and for directions, etc. So, it’s not too far fetched that in the future our lives and that of AIs will be even more connected. The execution and writing of this movie, however, somehow turn a potentially great movie into a hot mess: cartoonish bad guys, lack of chemistry between any of the actors including the main couple, and that horrible abrupt and confusing ending. Of all the ridiculous scenes in this movie, the one that still has me shaking my head is the ML lifting his shirt in a full restaurant and showing off his nipple to the FL. Face palm. This scene deserves to be on the cutting floor during editing, and maybe about 90% others, too.
