Folks who like tweaking the Army or those with a special fondness for adorable robots may enjoy this harmless, reasonably funny film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 27, 2021

The film has nowhere to go except to give us a predictable initial confrontation between Guttenberg and Sheedy over military weapons.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 2, 2014

One of the stranger ironies to be found in Hollywood these days is that some of its most resourceful directors use high-tech wizardry and state-of- the-art movie technology to make films that rail against the tyranny of science.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 2, 2014

A film that demands emotional connections with a robot whose voice is one of the most annoying ever produced. Give us Hal, R2-D2 or a barber shop quartet of Daleks any day.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2014

Scripters get credit for some terrific dialog that would have been a lot less disarming if not for the winsome robot and Sheedy's affection for it. Guttenberg plays his best goofy self.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 26, 2003

The movie, which has the clean, well-scrubbed look of an old Disney comedy, is nicely acted by Miss Sheedy, who demonstrates a light-comedy touch not unlike Amy Irving's [and] Mr. Guttenberg.

It's basically a kid's movie, and quite possibly the kids will like it. But they'll have to be fairly young kids.
