Le Garçon idéal

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.

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.

This movie just had me in shock and awe. Disney says this is original but I literally stood there in shock realizing that this movie is weird science in every possible way just with different characters genders. Weird science is actually funny with a good message. How to build a better boy is not funny and somewhat of an OK message. I honestly do not recommend this movie because the comedy does not stick. I didn't give a single crap about the characters the boy actually gave me a couple laughs but just to that only a couple of laughs. If you're a Disney fan boy then see It but for anyone who is not, don't watch this movie. Watch weird science, that movie is actually very funny.

Teenage tech geniuses unwittingly use military software to program a robotic boyfriend. The film stars China Anne McClain (Talent Program) and Kelli Berglund (Lab Rats) in the lead roles, and tells how technology-savvy students Mae Hartley and Gabby Harrison develop a plan to create the perfect boyfriend with just a few keystrokes. And a wireless connection. What Gabby and Mae don't realize is that the computer they use is programmed to generate a super robotic soldier, which has been activated in the form of Albert, a brave and cute boy at the same time.

A silly children's film that genuinely captivated me, all very exaggerated like all Disney teen films, all much more of the same, but captivated me, which actually has more to do with our peace of mind than technical quality in itself, everything is perfect, however artificial... I like to watch...

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.
