Shailene Woodley’s character just wants men to buy her designer purses, while Jack Whitehall’s wants to bed as many women as possible. They both use robot twins to do the romancing, then they swoop in to collect their booty. Due to a mixup, the 2 robots end up on a date and fall in love. Since these androids are illegal, this poses issues for the humans. Whitehall is a fine, funny comedian and his acting tends to reflect the same smarmy, self-involved type (he’s also creating a similar character in the current season of Afterparty). Woodley is lovely, but lacks much comic appeal. Even though the story holds potential to be screwball funny, there are seldom any real laughs. The film moves with energy and their chemistry is OK, but essentially it lacks much comic charm. One complaint: While this is supposed take place in 2032, the ONLY futuristic thing is the robots. No driverless cars or anything else.
