This already-extensively-memed doll flick hilariously captures our anxiety over screen time and A.I.
You know you’re in capable hands from the jump, as the movie opens with a parody ad for a robotic pet, a kind of wise-cracking, flatulent Furby that responds to voice prompts. It’s a product of Funki, the company for which Gemma works. When we meet her, she’s trying to get her latest creation, M3GAN, off the ground, but when the doll’s head explodes during an exhibition for Gemma’s manager, David , M3GAN gets put on ice so that Gemma can focus on making more android animals.
That you can see where this is going a mile away takes nothing from the overall enjoyment of the movie. M3GAN the character is as well-programmed for audiences as the toy is for children, due in no small part to Akela Cooper’s consistently hilarious script. “Hey, what’s up?” M3GAN says upon powering up at one point. She breaks out into song seemingly on a whim, and her selections are always relevant to her condition .
