This movie was FABULOUS! China Anne McClain (_A.N.T. Farm_) and Kelli Berglund (_Lab Rats_) were the perfect she-geeks, and the rest of the cast also did quite well. The plot kept me wondering, and the ending was very sweet. This DCOM makes me proud to be a Disney Channel fan. Content Concerns: Sex: Flirting; one near-kiss. 4/5 Nudity: Shirtless guy; girls in short shorts and off-the-shoulder dresses. 4/5 Language: Name-calling, at worst. 4/5 Violence: A brief human/robot fisticuff; [spoiler]a robot self-destructs[/spoiler]; some rough-and-tumble sports action. 3/5 Drugs: None. 5/5 Frightening/Intense Scenes: Some emotional intensity. 4/5 Score: 5/5
This movie is somewhat disturbing. I can''t say I''ve disliked it though.
Uh, the movie was nice, but so so weird. Whoever wrote this might consider a career change.
It is very interesting loved it
