    "Un-possible!"

    This movie was kind of cliche, but very enjoyable. My favorite character is Gabby because her outfits are so cute (also I like China Anne McClain.) I loved the dress she wore to the dance. I kept thinking, "I want one just like that." Also, Ashley and Mike were okay. I like how Noah Centineo played Jaden. (He's Atom Smasher in Black Adam.) Though, why does everyone hate Mae and Gabby just because they're nerds? Nerds rock! Though I hate it that the annoying main character always gets to be prom queen. I personally think Gabby is kind of smarter than Mae, despite them having the same iq level. I mean, Mae gets all obsessed over a really dumb robot boy. Also, he makes these really weird machine noises.. :I

    And the thing is, Albert is a soldier, so Mae's father makes sure he does his job helping people all across the globe. "How could he leave me?!" Mae whines. Girl, he didn't leave you. Also, does technology even work like that? No, but maybe it will in the future.

    Really?

    I guarantee that if the title were, "How to Build a Better Girl", there'd be an outrage. As a guy, I find the very title and concept of the movie offensive. There are a lot of guys who try our best to make the women in our life happy, who actually care. A movie basically outlining an ideology of how men "should" be to make them "better", could really hurt the self esteem of some young men who try their best. Wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

    Ha, I don't know why I saw this movie. AHA. Can be regarded as history, the ugliest Disney film, in addition to the male master can watch a little bit, everyone else is ugly. Is that mean girI sure it's not from Thailand? And I speak French all day. Is it true that her brother, the lady, is not here to be a guest? Ha, like. If you don't like me, that's your problem. Right

    I HATE THE FL

    OK now don't get me wrong I enjoyed the movie and I love the actors who playing in it. But the female lead oh my gosh she was so annoying she changed completely after meeting the guy and ignored her best friend she acted kind of like she was all that and she got her head stuck in the clouds and so obviously she started to ignore her best friend who is trying to help her and they got an argument going to fight whatever whatever right she doesn't even end up apologizing the best friend apologizes and she's like " I held you back" like I found out so annoying.

    How To Build A Better Boy Is Better Than Most

    "How To Build A Better Boy" is a charming, beautifully written farce that is unlike most of these anodyne TV movies with teenage girls. First, the girls are the scientists, not the boys, and they are convincing scientists at that. I was laughing from the first five minutes in and I was touched at the end. Characters exceedingly well drawn, plot taut as a tightrope and within the confines of this genre, it shined with wit and humor. Girls will love this movie, and guess what boys will too. Everyone will. The robot they build was smooth, convincing and reminded me of a lighthearted "Terminator." This romp is a winner in every way!
