everything you have heard about this movie is true.

disgusting, overrated, pointless

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

So what's an old man doing, reviewing a so-called 'DCOM'? Well, I'm an English language teacher in Asia, so I skim all these movies to see if there are any that are good enough for me to use in a classroom... that won't make me throw up!Finally, Disney TV made a movie for teachers like me!(I'll edit this down to an hour, add hardcoded subtitles and rename it 'My Robot Boyfriend!' and my young students will be gurgling all over this!)So, here I am reviewing a Disney TV movie!This movie is great fun. It's silly, of course and the idea of it is preposterous, but it's great fun for the audience it's aimed at. No hidden morality propoganda - other than it's good to have a best friend who's got your back!It gets the 8 stars, NOT for being an 8-star movie out of all the movies ever made, but for being an 8-star movie in its class.Kelli and all the young players are great and did their jobs well, but the real star of the show (for me) was Ieva Lucs who plays the seemingly uptight- but inwardly emotional, Major Jenks.She delivers the best line of the movie. When asked to read off a witness statement about the handsome missing robot she says..."Yes... she said he was 'super cute candy sugar in my eye holes and the honorary mayor of Hunky Town,' Sir!"Brilliant!I would love to have seen the honorary mayor of Hunky Town have more fun with his super powers, but that's the little boy in me and this one is for the little girls!Anyway, my point is that even grown ups won't have to have a bucket on stand-by when they sit down to watch this. It's fast moving, great fun and a super little modern fairytale.

This is a very entertaining film for the young boy crazy teen girl who still giggle about kissing a boy. Mae (Kelli Berglund) and Gabby (China Anne McClain) are two geeky BFFs. Mae tutors the high school QB (Noah Centineo) and they make eyes at each other. The QB of course must date the stereotypical shallow head cheerleader (Ashley Argota) who gives Mae a beat down. Mae lies and claims she has date for home coming. Gabby hacks into Mae's dad military computer and manages to create the perfect boy (Marshall Williams) in a Disney version of "Weird Science" for young teen girls. Mae and Albert become close as "Boys are a distraction" Gabby becomes the third wheel.The formula plays itself through with the stereotypical ham characters whose over acting will have a child appeal. The film has cute lines, but not overly clever. For instance at one point Gabby says, "I hacked into the Pentagon. Whoopsie."The film is supposed to take place in the US, but was filmed in Canada....note the extra wide Canadian football field... "Whoopsie."

This is a typical movie for kids. The movie is built on the like-ability of China Anne McClain. If you like CAMc, then you'll like the movie, and who doesn't like CAMc.The movie starts with a conflict between China's BFF and a character played by Ashley Argota. The "bad girl" character is not something I'd expect see Ashley Argota play; plus, isn't she like 21 years old now? A little old to be playing a contemporary of China. Anyway, China's best friend said she had a boyfriend, and Ashley Argota doubted it so China, who plays a computer geek, decides to manufacture a fake online boyfriend.She hacked into her dad's computer network to make up what she thought was a fake online boyfriend profile for her friend, but China didn't know that her dad was a defense contractor in the process of designing a super human robot soldier. China's hack activated this robot soldier who was programed to be China's BFF's boyfriend. It's a crazy story. And it's fun.China thought she was just creating a fake online boyfriend who lives in a far away place, but imagine the surprise they got when the guy actually showed up at school. That's when the fun really started.It's a fun movie. It's got a lot of laughs. It has a lot of adolescent hi jinx. But if you like China Anne, then you'll like this movie. And she is great in this movie.

So this premiered on the Disney Channel last Friday and I got a sneak peak of it on YouTube so I decided to watch it all and see what it was about.So on to the review. I am gonna tell you what I liked and didn't like about this movie. So there maybe a few spoilers in here but anyway lets dive in.So the movie tells the tale of two best friends (one played by China McClain,while the other is Kellie Berglund)who are teenagers going to high school where prom is approaching. Of course there is this girl who is dating this guy who secretly likes Mae(Berglund)and the girl bullies Mae because she has no one to bring her to the prom. So she makes out that she already has a boyfriend and in order for her to prove she has,her dad who is secretly working for the defense force has a software that creates DNA on a robot and turn them into a human. So Mae and her friend decide to create the perfect man for Mae for homecoming prom and call it Albert by using the robot(who is actually a killing machine used for the army force) and they give him a nice personality and a nice look (blonde hair,blue eyes,caring and modest you know the kind of guy all women wants in life). So the next day Albert arrives in this orange sports car and Mae is smitten with it. But will Mae's friendship with McClain's charcther be put to the test and how can they pull off their creation when they used a computer and Mae's dad's software as she thought it was for a video gaming company?Overall this is a sweet movie for the pre-teens. Its not a perfect film by all means as its meant for 13 up, but I like the charcther Albert who is so perfect to look at. The actor that played him was great. Also I thought it was actually pretty good,but there are some problems I have with this film. Like firstly the guy didn't even look like a robot that they created. yeah sure you see this white robot in the beginning made out of wire and all that stuff. But wires NEVER came out of him when he was a human or was he suppose to be a virtual guy like a hologram or whatever. If he was a robot like I said you would have seen his head come off with wires coming out,but he just seemed human all the time. You hear these stupid robot movement effects but that's it. Also the ending was a bit of a letdown. I mean if you seen it you know what I'm on about. So did I like the film sure like I said it wasn't bad but if you love Sci-Fi and Weird Science then check it out.5/10Out of 5 stars I'm giving it a 2.5/5 stars.C-
