“So whatu0026#39;s an old man doing, reviewing a so-called u0026#39;DCOMu0026#39;? Well, Iu0026#39;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 wonu0026#39;t make me throw up!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFinally, Disney TV made a movie for teachers like me!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(Iu0026#39;ll edit this down to an hour, add hardcoded subtitles and rename it u0026#39;My Robot Boyfriend!u0026#39; and my young students will be gurgling all over this!)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, here I am reviewing a Disney TV movie!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie is great fun. Itu0026#39;s silly, of course and the idea of it is preposterous, but itu0026#39;s great fun for the audience itu0026#39;s aimed at. No hidden morality propoganda – other than itu0026#39;s good to have a best friend whou0026#39;s got your back!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKelli 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eShe delivers the best line of the movie. When asked to read off a witness statement about the handsome missing robot she says…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Yes… she said he was u0026#39;super cute candy sugar in my eye holes and the honorary mayor of Hunky Town,u0026#39; Sir!u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBrilliant!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would love to have seen the honorary mayor of Hunky Town have more fun with his super powers, but thatu0026#39;s the little boy in me and this one is for the little girls!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, my point is that even grown ups wonu0026#39;t have to have a bucket on stand-by when they sit down to watch this. Itu0026#39;s fast moving, great fun and a super little modern fairytale.”
