Funny, Intelligent & Clever

I haven't seen this film since I was 10 years old it used to play on family channel maybe once or twice it was original, clever and had a good plot throughout the movie.Dr. Jonas Carson (Thicke) has just completed his lifelong dream by creating an android (Underwood) to look like a normal 17 year old boy.

His daughter Becky (Lively) names him Chip, the doctor decides to send him to school to see how he'll interact with other kids his age and learn how to act human. However Carson's former boss Vogel (Bologna) has plans to kidnap the android and turn him into a military machine.

It was funny seeing Chip try to adapt to life as a normal teenager and the comical situations he gets into along the way but also proves himself to be nearly human when rescuing his dad and sister.

Not Quite Human was one of the best Disney movies I had ever seen as a kid and even today after seeing it after so many years it's still enjoyable.

How can anyone forget these movies, huh?????

Before I continue forth with the new millennium, I will go back in time once more because I had completely forgotten about these gems!!!!!

In 1987, Disney, while still a "low" company in the 80s, was able to start a series of films on television called "Not Quite Human," about a geeky teenager who, like in "Inspector Gadget," looks like a human but is really a robot!!!!! Now this SCREAMS 80S, along with other films like "Tron" and "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" because it combines everything of yesteryear with the technologies of tomorrow!!!!!

My parents remember seeing this on the TV back then, back when I was just born or something. However, my very first encounter with this film was on the Old Disney Channel (one time, I've seen this, and the other parts, on my 12th B'day in May of '99!!!!!)

"Not Quite Human" is a very good series of films to watch, if you can ever find these movies again.

Has this been shown recently? If so, give me an e-mail or personal message.

A corny cybernetic classic

Not Quite Human was a childhood favorite of mine. However, even though this made-for-TV movie now feels as dated as the technology in it, there's still something endearing about the story. It's a silly & simple plot, with stock characters you'd expect in a Disney movie made for teens, and it's a little slower, watching it as an adult, but I enjoyed sharing this corny cybernetic classic with my kids.

Pretty lame

Pretty terrible little Disney film starring Jay Underwood as a robotic "son" engineered by Alan Thicke who proceeds to find himself engaged in "wonderfully imaginative" situations of "comic unfortunate...ness." unfortunately for us the film is a dire little copycat clone of other real-looking-robots-created-by-mad-scientists movies and the only thing that could have spiced up this film a bit and added some zest would have been if, at the end, Underwood unleashed a whole load of kick-butt on the entire cast and turned into a Terminator sent from the future to eliminate John Connor.

By the way, what happened to Jay Underwood? From "Uncle Buck" to straight-to-video fare such as "Road to Redemption" and commercials for toothpaste? Choosing a recurring role in this disappointing series may have something to do with his career shortcomings.

a funny, decent family/teenage film

'Not Quite Human' is a family film about a single father who builds a teenage son named Chip. Chip is awkward as he tries to mingle with the real teenage boys, and little does Chip know that there is a plot by a large toy company to kidnap him. The film is packed with action and humour, and you cannot help but to feel sorry for the characters, especially poor Chip as he tries to fit in to society and fails miserably. I have not seen this film in years, but it used to be shown several times on the Disney channel. I think that this film is easy for teenagers to relate to, especially those who are a little bit awkward themselves and bullied at school. It is just a fun film, and it is one that seems to have become lost.

Becky: Wow.
Chip: Is that good?
Jonas: Good? If it's true, it's fantastic!
