To me, Rashida Jones is what Keira Knightley is to the creepy guy played by Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually. That is to say: near perfect. Her comedy chops are standout in The Office, Parks and Recreation and #BlackAF, and in Sofia Coppola’s On The Rocks her performance was layered and deeply relatable.
However, the synopsis for her latest venture, Sunny – in which she stars opposite a CGI robot that looks like a Disney toy (voiced by Joanna Sotomura) – seemed like a misstep.
