I've decided that Alexa is infinity more intelligent than Siri....Siri knows almost no answers to what I ask her and only directs me to websites I could have googled anyway. At least Alexa answers some questions in her own voice and tries to be helpful.

I LOVE the monologue at the beginning and the airport scene at the end really makes you feel good. I liked most of the subplots in the movie but not all of them. Libby: my favorite character was Laura Linney's love interest, Karl, Rodrigo Santoro.

Two of my bloggers friends can't be both wrong. <br /><br />Alexia has brought up websites for me, too, but usually she has an answer. I probably ask simpler questions than you do.

The opening scene makes you think you've stumbled upon the wrong movie; hang in there. ;-)<br /><br />I have Siri on my phone and find her completely useless. All she does is bring up a list of websites where I can go find the answer to my question. I use Google Voice instead.
