The Zucheros bring a great deal of imagination to the task, and the sheer audacity of the movie is enough to make it worth watching, even if, at times, the gadgets\u2019 sentimental education starts to feel repetitive. The internet, awash with the documentation of people\u2019s lives through video and images, provides a lot of fodder to these smart technologies, which are lonely and eager to connect with one another in ways that are not in their programming. In this case, the buoy \u2014 who begins calling herself \u201cMe,\u201d and dubs the satellite \u201cIam\u201d \u2014 finds the account of a long-gone influencer named Deja (also played by Stewart), a peppy blonde vlogger, and becomes obsessed with recreating Deja\u2019s Instagram-documented relationship with her boyfriend, Liam (also played by Yeun).<\/p>\n
It should be evident by now that you never really know where \u201cLove Me\u201d will head next, which is a lot of its charm. It\u2019s also a bit of its problem: The movie spins its wheels midway for a while, in part because it\u2019s hard to develop the emotional landscape of a buoy and a satellite, and that\u2019s what would give the romance more stakes for the audience. It also means the characters (who, by this point, are interacting in animated, avatar-like forms) are not all that interesting. What\u2019s most fun about the movie is its world-building, which by nature can\u2019t be the whole movie.<\/p>\n
