Not dissimilar to ‘Her’? I love that movie and think it’s a subject that has enough depth for more exploration. I like the idea of him being able to see her too.

What’s his goal? I feel like it should start out as “to get better at talking to real women” then there’s an obvious reason why he’s done this. I think saying “as a joke” diminishes the investment for the audience a little. If he was so lonely, he created a virtual girlfriend to practice on, I feel he’d get more sympathy.

“his life become serious” – in what way?

Whilst the VR glasses are a great idea, I’m not sure they’re essential for the logline. Without the full explanation you’ve written below, it’s difficult to imagine how they work or their relationship to the MC and the VR girlfriend, so it detracts from the logline slightly.

“A lonely programmer creates an AI girlfriend to practice talking to women with, but when he falls for her and chooses her over real women, he must adjust her coding to make himself fall out of love with her.”

How’s this? I feel like the second part of Act II will be a great descent into All is Lost. Gradually adjusting the code so she treats him like the women do at the start of the film. Painful but necessary and solely under his own volition = devastating to watch.

I’ve taken out the “worried friends and family” bit. You’ve said he’s lonely, so make him lonely. It’s also got hints of ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ in – another brilliant film.

Love this idea! Hope this helps.
