Her = Hateful

Lady Friends....
What the hell was this?

One review I read when this came out, and then re-read just now, says:
"And while Samantha's programming is designed to make her likable to Theo, her assimilation of humanity's tics soon have the operating system feeling emotion, or the simulation of it, and while the viewer is being beguiled by the peculiarities and particularities of Theo and Samantha's growing entanglement, he or she is also living through a crash course on the question of what it means to be human."

Well all I got from this is that what it means to be human is to be boring and silly.  If I could only use two words to describe this film and everyone in it it would be "boring and silly"

Joaquin's acting was just GOD AWFUL....well unless he was trying to play this character as a dimwitted 14 year old boy.  Because if that is what he was going for... SUCCESS.  Honestly, the "relationship" between Theo and Samantha is right out of 8th grade dating 101.  The only slightly interesting relationship in the movie was handled badly... I would have like to see more of poor Rooney Mara's character... but um no.

Kofi & I talked in the car on the way home and she said to me that the kernel of the story is interesting but there has to be a better way to portray artificial intelligence.  I said to her... "PLEASE!!! I liked 'I, Robot" better than this movie. 

Needless to say... the Lady Friends were NOT on their best behavior during this movie.  At several points I had both hands clasped tightly over my mouth and nose... One reason was to cover the inappropriate laughter that kept bubbling up and the other reason was in the hopes that I would asphyxiate myself and get out of the movie.

Fletcher... your note about the costumes was DEAD ON.  Beyond distracting. To quote Miss Kofi "Why are his pants up to his nips?  Do they make 10 in long zippers in the future?"

This movie was WORSE than Philomena!
I hate you Her... I hate you.
