Critics Consensus

You won't need Superintelligence to steer clear of the latest forgettable comedy to fail to take full advantage of Melissa McCarthy's talents.

Melissa McCarthy Is brilliant and hilarious in what she does. I liked the idea of it. Got bored very fast. Was really put off by James Cordon, he ruined the film tbh. Couldn't get past the first 20min.

I like Melissa McC heaps. But .. this felt a rerun script. And James Corden performance, as usual, is utterly dire.

I do love a non-serious movie and unharmful jokes that are no about fart and poo. And I loved them as a couple. I don't like the big participation of Tesla in the movie. Tesla is a toxic workplace, and it has no place in this movie.

The movie appeared to be an advert for Tesla, my 10 year old son laughed at some of the jokes but not sure he was the target audience, although I'm not really sure who the target audience was supposed to be 🤷‍♂️ this is a really bad film, glad I didn't pay to watch it!

This movie I loved it. It was funny it was interesting with a hint of cringe as rom-coms have I all around loved it. I don't understand why it has poor reviews my friends and I was laughing the entire time we loved it. Definitely a must watch I mean I don't like rom-coms but I loved this one. Give it a chance it's awesome.

Melissa McCarthy is such a wonderful actor that it remains a shame that she keeps doing humorless and desperate movies like this.

It's frustrating when a film begins with a promise and then settles on doing the same old, same old.

Yet another bust from McCarthy and Falcone. McCarthy pops doing what she does best every now and then, but it's just not enough to support an unfunny AI romance that doesn't seem to understand how technology works.

Rated: 1.5/5

Ready Steady Cut

It doesn’t take any type of AI to figure out that the professional marriage between Melissa McCarthy and director Ben Falcone has to end. Superintelligence is another nail in the coffin of McCarthy’s once stellar comic career.

Rated: 2/5

...offers plenty of opportunities for McCarthy to clown, but there's no-one to play off apart from Corden...
