Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Great Film overall

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Illogical and sentimental movie. If you are looking for science- there is none. Halfway through the humour dies and it's all mushy romance and emotional dialogues. Apparently the Government is OK with scientists accessing 3 billion dollar black project from the comfort of their home. They are even OK with bunch of kids hacking into their network and even letting them all walk away like nothing happened!And the girl? Well, she's devastated when she learns her robot boyfriend is doing good stuff like helping people across the globe (like building schools). How could he leave her!? I quote: "Albert would never do this to me! He'll realize he's not a soldier and he'll come back to me!" And this is when I decided to eject the disc.

Terrific movie by Disney standards and any standards. The cast was excellent, it was very well written and funny. I liked the scientists being girls (girls so badly need good geek role models!) I also thought the boy they created was great: a dream boy but he was so smooth and charming and funny in a completely easy way. Girls will relate to this one and boys will too. The old Disney Family Movie model is alive and well and really enjoyable. The ending was fast paced, action packed and full of sentiment though oddly not that sentimental. In short, this is a real winner. I would watch it again. And probably laugh in all the same places. If you are looking for family entertainment, this is the right pick.

"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!

This is a typical Disney movie. It is cute, funny, semi-serious, and well done. Kelli Berglund and China Ann McClain are the two leads and they do a good job. They are genius level sophomore's who are considered to be dorks by the popular kids. The movie is pretty funny, the acting is decent, the plot is typical Disney, the outcome is as you would expect. The general is funny in his roll. Kelli gets her true idea of a boyfriend, he is a designed, robotic type but is every thing she could ever want in a boy friend. At the end, as all wait for the kiss, she uses the self destruct command and the boy friend goes blooey. Leaving Kelli and the QB yo hook up. Ashley Argota plays the stereotypical protagonist cheerleader dating the football star. She gets her comeuppance at the homecoming dance when she tries to convince everyone the boyfriend is what he actually is, a robot. She doesn't do it and is dumped by the QB. A decent, funny movie with some good acting and a decent plot.
