User reviews

I am a very forgiving reviewer--I can usually find something to like about a film. In this case the only reason it gets 3 points at all is due to the premise, but as far as the plot, the characters, the dialogue--and as another reviewer puts it, the execution, it is a genuine stinker.

None of the characters are likable, not even the robot or the kids. I have no issue at all about sexbots, nor do I have a problem with evolving AI--especially as they are likely a near reality, but the WAY in which this story was told was just terrible! As is often the case, the kids are too precocious, but even given that, they simply aren't believable--in their actions, their dialogue or their acting. I mean usually, the writers at least make the main kids likable or endearing in some way. In this movie, the one "nice" lead, is just too, too much to be believable, and the whole religious spiel in the middle of the film as a plot device? Ugh. To be fair, I can't decide if it's the acting that is off, or the directing--as if that ultimately matters in a film this bad (I can forgive either one if other elements make up for it) but the dialoge and development sure don't help. All of the other characters are pure (and poorly done) stereotypical caricature. The entire thing reads as a throwaway script in some slush pile.

Now it's obvious that this film is aimed at young pubescent boys, but I doubt even that demographic would enjoy this film. There isn't enough substance--or visual candy in here to be even mildly titillating. This movie offers absolutely nothing to the audience. My recommendation is to just pass this one by--pubescent boy or not-- cause if you ARE a pubescent boy you will be sorely disappointed.

In the course of film history, there have been only a handful of grand masterpieces. These unique gems of unequalled beauty touch our hearts and souls. They teach us to think, to feel, and to love as we had not before. They act as a spiritual guide to the human condition. I can assure you that Hot Bot is one such masterpiece.

This tribute to modern romance and advanced robotics will bring you endless excitement and whimsy in an attempt to answer one of life's greatest questions: is the bot hot? This critic can strongly say maybe.

Martha please bring back the kids

Some talented comedians are in this, but don't let that fool you. It's not funny, sexy, or interesting. I watched the first 11 minutes and 34 seconds on Netflix, then flipped to the last 5 to see how it ended and couldn't make it; it was just too painful to watch. The writer and director should be drummed out of the industry and be sentenced to watch this film in its entirety every day for the rest of their lives.

Apparently this review needs 10 lines to be publishable. I find it ironic that the standards required for me to warn you how awful this, this whatever it is (visual sadness?), are apparently higher than the standards required to produce it in the first place.

As other reviewers have said, this is a pile of poo, it's dreadful.

I couldn't find one redeeming scene or performance in the whole damn movie.

The 2 geeks are awful stereotypes, one taking unlikeability to a whole new level and the other one just bland, bland, bland.

The "hot bot" isn't, not even lukewarm.

If you're thinking Kelly le Brock in weird science then stop now, she's nowhere close.

The script is awful too.

It's just a really bad movie.

Hot Bot's writer/director Michael Polish clearly intended for his teen sex comedy to be a hilarious mix of Weird Science and Superbad, Cynthia Kirchner's high-tech sex robot Bardot replacing Kelly LeBrock's living Barbie-doll, with high-school geeks Leonard Stupenski (Zack Pearlman) and Limus Huffington (Doug Haley) a cross between Superbad's Seth and Evan and Weird Science's Gary and Wyatt. What he actually delivers is a charmless wreck of a film with zero laughs that is about as sexy as sticking your dick in a light socket.

Limus is a scrawny, lank haired dweeb with a charisma bypass, while his best friend Leonard is unlikeable in almost every way imaginable (imagine an even more irritating version of Jonah Hill crossed with Jack Black at his most grating, and you're not even close to how obnoxious this guy is). Within minutes, I was rooting for these idiots to be captured by the FBI agents—who are hunting for the missing sex-bot—and made to 'disappear' (ie., a shot to the back of the head and a shallow grave); sadly, they're there for the duration, 86 painful minutes of desperately unfunny, puerile gags as the lads try to keep Bardot from her intended owner, sleaze-ball Senator Biter (Larry Miller).

After much inane 'comedy' during which neither nerd scores with the sex-bot (despite being invited to f*** within minutes of meeting her), Polish adds insult to injury with several supposedly hilarious out-takes during the end credits that somehow prove even less funny than the stuff that made it into the film.

This is a ridiculous mess of a film. The thing is it had great potential and if rewritten and directed with a much better cast except for Bardot who was gorgeous this could have been decent. Instead you got another terrible teenage film that was unrealistic and stupid. From teenagers running into this luck to the silly romance at the end. The characters should have been aged to be real working and normal people not pathetic teenagers. A real and funny story could have been added to the mix as well with a killer soundtrack but alas.

4/10

Sometimes I enjoy silly movies on my laptop playing in the background while I play a PS4 game on my TV and don't need audio(ADHD? YES!) and only need to pay half attention....this movie is semi-watchable, and I've seen much worse...this film is not memorable...unless you really want to challenge yourself in discipline... Although there are plenty of named actors and semi-stars you've heard of and seen before, they lead you to thinking, "How much were they paid? Was it worth it?". It is a VERY BASIC remake/re(IMAGINING) of Weird Science, (Which is not amazing!...but very enjoyable in viewing with full attention!) ...also any movie that starts the description stating A HILARIOUS COMEDY.....You should be wary off the bat...GOOD LUCK!

But if risqué and childish sexual humor is your thing, this movie is hilarious XD

I saw this movie on Netflix last night. It's really not that bad as long as you're in the mood for it and aren't expecting too much. There are some scenes in this movie that are really, really funny and some that fall flat.

Here's the good and the bad.

THE GOOD:

Larry Miller - He's the funniest past of the movie and says some pretty insane sh**. His scenes are all great. Donald Faison and Angela Kinsey all have great scenes are really funny. The Music in this movie is really good and kept the film moving.

THE BAD:

Zack Pearlman - Can't really carry a movie. Doesn't have the same acting chops as Jonah Hill from Superbad, which I'm sure he was trying to emulate here. The story was really kind of cheesy, we've seen this before with Weird Science. And the 80's references don't really work here

But overall the movie isn't half bad. You just need to be open to it and doesn't hurt if your stoned watching it. Light'em up!!

I think the only thing that can be considered to have been done right is the Hot Bot. I think you cannot argue that she is hot. But casting someone who doesn't do nudity in the main role of a movie like this, is a bit wrong. Especially because there is nudity here by other actresses. Not to mention that while there is almost nothing happening here (kind of literally, which is "funny" in a bad way considering the very naughty beginning), the jokes are badly written too.

I guess this is supposed to be a sort of remake of an 80s movie with Kelly LeBrock in the main role. Mix in a bit of Superbad or something recent and you have a winning formula, right? Well unfortunately wrong, which is a shame indeed. Not funny or hot at all, which is kind of hard to achieve (no pun intended) if you think about it ...

More lowest-common-denominator comedy in the vein of American Pie. I disliked all of the characters, couldn't stand the dialogue, and was already skipping forward after the first five minutes. I didn't watch the whole movie, so maybe it gets better.

I am not the target audience. I think the target audience is probably teenage boys.

I loved the idea, absolutely hated the execution. I'd rather watch Cherry 2000 or the Futurama episode with the Lucy Liu-bot again.

The idea of sexbots has been around since 1926 (Metropolis) or 1965 (Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine). And that's not counting all the anime out there. You can find something better to watch than this.

Why does every teen movie have characters that are totally unlovable. I went into this movie thinking it would at least have some hot women and all I get is Larry Miller's backside!!!! Every joke didn't work, every character was a jerk. Even the blooper reel at the end was unfunny. Stay away from this movie. It was unwatchable

This movie is absolutely terrible in every single way.

Let's get one thing out of the way - if you go into this movie thinking it's going to have sexy babes, nudity galore, you are going to be sorely disappointed. There is none aside from a very short topless scene at the very beginning.

The writing is awful, the story is barely passable, it has little to no background music, the characters are all unlikable, and it uses very poor taste in "jokes."

There is no one redeeming feature of this movie. Pass on it, watch something else, anything else. If you have two choices and one is this movie and the other is birdemic, watch birdemic.

Who ever casted this had some interesting connections, I'm not sure what the point of why anyone would agree to this. Or if they even watch it at the premiere. I guess they made it just for fun and had a few bucks to spare...

If I could get lower than 1 I would! This film is boring and unfunny

This is similar to a low budget super bad.

From the title I was not expecting much but wow I was blown away. The comedy is subtle and original, the photography is amazing considering it is shot on digital. Amazing real sets and great acting from all the actors. This film put a smile on my face. It's a must see. YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF THESE GUYS IN THE FUTURE. GREAT CAST TOO! Don Fashion, the girl from the office, Anthony Anderson & dude from that so 70's so killed it. I am speechless that i almost didn't watch this film, I can not imagine this not being in my life. It is very quotable and many memorable scenes. I am just babbling now but I cant describe how surprised I am with this film. Do yourself a favor and take a chance on this film. Ignore the low score, ignore the haters. This is truly a 10/10

Not as half as bad if you are in the right mood for the kind of the movie as it is kinda refreshing after all the "great" comedies in the last few years as it's purely stupid fun.

This film begins with a scientist by the name of "Dr. Heinrich Shaffer" (Heiko Obermöller) explaining to a journalist the intricacies of his latest project involving sex robots. Essentially, they are engineered in Germany, manufactured in Japan and sold in America. One case in particular involves the "Bardot model" (played by Cynthia Kirchner) being sold to a wealthy American politician by the name of "Senator Biter" (Larry Miller) but getting lost in shipment on a remote highway where she is subsequently hit by a car being driven by two high school losers named "Limus Huffington" (Doug Haley) and "Leonard Stupenski" (Zack Pearlman). Unaware at first that she is a robot, they panic and remove the body from the scene only to discover the truth later on. Unfortunately, being virgins neither of them quite know what to do and with her internal programming slightly damaged she becomes almost as confused as they are. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had some potential but the director (Michael Polish) apparently chose a more cheap and vulgar method instead. As a result, this movie wasn't sexy and what little humor was available was rather low-brow. That being said, there wasn't anything really remarkable about this film and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

Not to be dramatic but watching this film probably made me a worse person. I am an enjoyer of 'so bad its good' movies from time to time. This is not a so bad its good movie. 2 minutes into this movie I felt like it had greatly overstayed its welcome. I began to meditate on the filmmaking process. There are reviews of the scripts, directors to help the actors, test audiences to give ideas for improvement. And this film passed them all and existed in its raw form as something that inspired nihilism and hopelessness in me. I can enjoy a dumb movie. Sometimes it is nice to sit back and not think. This somehow had the opposite effect and made me think about the nature of art and what it means to create. To throw a piece of your being into an indifferent void. Anyways. I would skip this one.
