Superintelligence
Melissa McCarthy has been selected for surveillance by an advanced form of AI (voiced by James Corden) in this action comedy directed by Ben Falcone (Life of the Party). Co-stars Emmy-winner Bobby Cannavale (Ant-Man) and Emmy-nominee Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta).
When Carol Peters (McCarthy) starts getting snarky backtalk from her home appliances, she thinks she's being pranked. But she soon discovers that she's under experimental surveillance by a newly developed form of AI—an AI with an evil plan to put an end to humanity.

pressMcCarthy can make Carol likable and relatable but even someone as talented as she is can't make this earnest do-gooder interesting.
Slash Film
pressThose who find Corden's shtick exhausting and moderately obnoxious will find Superintelligence...well, exhausting and moderately obnoxious.
Los Angeles Times
pressThe movie fits the model of so many movies in the emerging streaming era - innocuously passable diversions.

pressThough nominally a sci-fi comedy, Superintelligence gives viewers almost nothing to look at beyond its appealing actors.
