Whether it\u2019s through her bold physicality or an unusual line delivery, she gives you something you may never have seen before, but you know you want more of it. In \u201cBridesmaids,\u201d the movie that put her on the map and earned her the first of her two Oscar nominations, she\u2019s part of an ensemble of comedy powerhouses, but just try watching anyone but her when she\u2019s on screen. Even in a movie like \u201cSpy,\u201d where she\u2019s playing a character who\u2019s initially a little meek, she finds a spark of individuality and takes us on an evolution.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>And so casting her in \u201cSuperintelligence\u201d as \u201cthe most average person on Earth,\u201d according to the film\u2019s description, is the worst possible use of her talents. There is nothing to her character, Carol Peters, aside from the fact that she\u2019s single and her driving inspiration is the trite desire to make the world a better place. Her particular brand of blandness is the arbitrary reason an artificial intelligence wants to study her in hopes of achieving a greater understanding of humanity. But wouldn\u2019t watching someone more, I don\u2019t know, interesting provide a better sample for the A.I.\u2014or at least a better movie for us?<\/p>\n<p>Alas, everything is wrong with \u201cSuperintelligence,\u201d beginning with the misbegotten premise of Steve Mallory\u2019s script. Besides centering on a milquetoast, middle-aged white woman, it features James Corden\u2014Carol\u2019s favorite celebrity\u2014as the voice of the A.I. who follows her wherever she goes and talks to her through appliances. It\u2019s fitting that she would choose the most non-offensive performer imaginable, because everything about \u201cSuperintelligence\u201d seems aimed at being as insipid and forgettable as possible. But there\u2019s such a desperate straining at work here to make us like her, and him, and this story that it\u2019s beyond sad. It\u2019s annoying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It would be a near-impossible task for anyone to make magic out of this material, but placing it in director Ben Falcone\u2019s hands dooms it to being lifeless and laugh-free from the start. Falcone is McCarthy\u2019s husband and the director of some of her flattest comedies: \u201cTammy,\u201d \u201cThe Boss\u201d and \u201cLife of the Party.\u201d His characters have zero chemistry with each other, there\u2019s little forward momentum and it never achieves a smidgen of tension when it becomes clear that this A.I. may not have the best intentions for mankind. Falcone also manages to take a supremely overqualified supporting cast in Bobby Cannavale, Brian Tyree Henry, and Jean Smart and strand them with nothing to do. It feels like they\u2019re standing around waiting for the movie to end, just like us.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>There is a plot to work through, though, and it is oddly convoluted. Carol was a high-tech big wig who chucked it all to live a more altruistic existence, volunteering at Seattle pet adoptions and such. (Falcone loves his filler aerial shots of Seattle. You\u2019ll feel as if you\u2019ve seen the entire city\u2014and parts of Newcastle and Whidbey Island\u2014by the time this thing is done.) Henry plays her best friend, Dennis, a high-tech guru who exists primarily so she has someone to talk to on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>One day, an all-seeing, all-knowing voice starts talking to her through her TV, cell phone and rice maker. It sounds like Corden in an effort to soothe her when she freaks out. This naturally leads to hackneyed Carpool Karaoke bit in which McCarthy belts out the Barenaked Ladies\u2019 \u201cOne Week\u201d not once but twice over the course of the movie. (And now this song is stuck in your head, too. I\u2019m so sorry.) It\u2019s a supercomputer that became sentient, and now is trying to decide whether or not to eviscerate humanity and start over. Carol, as his test subject, is the planet\u2019s only hope.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the kind of high-concept idea you\u2019d see in an \u201880s comedy\u2014something like \u201cElectric Dreams,\u201d where the computer tries to understand what makes people tick. But instead of being playful or satirical\u2014or, god forbid, insightful\u2014\u201cSuperintelligence\u201d is crammed with uninspired jokes that go on forever, such as Carol wandering the halls at Microsoft when she visits Dennis at work because she can\u2019t find the exit. This is also the kind of movie that\u2019s got a ton of pop culture references, but it doesn\u2019t trust its audience enough to get them on our own, so it spells them out for us afterward. It\u2019s not enough to play the instantly recognizable bum-bum sound effect from \u201cLaw &#038; Order.\u201d Carol has to tell us it\u2019s the bum-bum sound effect from \u201cLaw &#038; Order.\u201d During a meeting to hash out a plan to contain the A.I., the Tic Tac Toe board from \u201cWar<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s\u201d pops up on the screen, along with the famous line from that \u201880s classic: \u201cShall we play a game?\u201d So of course someone in the conference room has to tell us this is a \u201cWarGames\u201d reference. \u201cKnight Rider,\u201d the Beyonce \u201cSingle Ladies\u201d dance, it goes on and on, and the hand-holding would be aggravating if this movie weren\u2019t so incredibly weak. (There is exactly pop-culture joke that made me laugh, and it\u2019s in a reference to \u201cThe Help,\u201d and that\u2019s all I will say.)<\/p>\n<p>Besides stocking Carol\u2019s bank account with millions of dollars, giving her a makeover and moving her into a luxurious penthouse with spectacular views\u2014all to compensate her for her trouble\u2014the James Corden voice also orchestrates a reunion with her ex. Cannavale plays a professor named George, the one who got away, but there\u2019s as little to him as there is to her. He\u2019s weirdly goofy. His primary character trait is his adolescent obsession with Ken Griffey Jr., which leads to an awkward cameo from the Hall of Famer at a Mariners game. McCarthy and Cannavale have all the romantic spark of two strangers standing in line for tickets to the Space Needle. Then again, they have practically nothing to work with.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Making the A.I. all-knowing and all-powerful is a cheap and easy way to move the narrative along, but it also creates no real conflict for us to care about. Everyone and everything in \u201cSuperintelligence\u201d is so wishy-washy and nicey-nice, you never for a second believe that this computer would really destroy humanity, even when it switches from its James Corden voice to one that\u2019s deeper and slightly menacing. And so the best we can do is be like Smart, who goes completely to waste as a Hillary Clinton version of the President of the United States, and just try to be calm and patient until this whole ordeal is over.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<p><em>Now playing on HBO Max.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Christy Lemire\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/christy-lemire\/featured_ChristyLemireheadshot.jpg\" title=\"Christy Lemire\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christy_Lemire\"><\/span>Christy Lemire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Christy Lemire is a co-host of the YouTube film review show &#8220;What the Flick?!&#8221; Christy reviewed films for The Associated Press for over 14 years.
