her

A near future scifi movie.  A lonely writer buys one of the new artificially intelligent operating systems.  And then the pair fall in love.  I liked how only like one person really finds anything weird in a meat person and a electronic person who get romantically involved.  And the glimpses of the rest of the new A.I. shared world were neat.  The only thing I had a hard time buying into was Joaquin Phoenix's character's job, which was writing personal and heart felt letters for people.  I mean, supposedly some of his clients had been using this service for YEARS.  How do the people receiving these touching letters not find out and get super pissed off?
