SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Michael Ledo This is a very entertaining film for the young boy crazy teen girl who still giggle about kissing a boy. Mae (Kelli Berglund) and Gabby (China Anne McClain) are two geeky BFFs. Mae tutors the high school QB (Noah Centineo) and they make eyes at each other. The QB of course must date the stereotypical shallow head cheerleader (Ashley Argota) who gives Mae a beat down. Mae lies and claims she has date for home coming. Gabby hacks into Mae's dad military computer and manages to create the perfect boy (Marshall Williams) in a Disney version of "Weird Science" for young teen girls. Mae and Albert become close as "Boys are a distraction" Gabby becomes the third wheel.The formula plays itself through with the stereotypical ham characters whose over acting will have a child appeal. The film has cute lines, but not overly clever. For instance at one point Gabby says, "I hacked into the Pentagon. Whoopsie."The film is supposed to take place in the US, but was filmed in Canada....note the extra wide Canadian football field... "Whoopsie."

Akhilesh Mathur 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.

SanteeFats 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.

bkoganbing A couple of veterans from the Disney Channel, Chyna Anne McLain and Kelli Berglund are best friends and science geeks. That does not guarantee popularity in those frustrating high school years and after being put down by the high school trend setting teen queen Ashley Argota these two decide to create a boyfriend in Berglund's father's laboratory.What they don't know is that the father Roger Bart is considerably more than a video game designer. He works for Uncle Sam and is developing a new weapon. Instead of a virtual boyfriend to holograph every now and then, the girls trigger a prototype of a new robot whom they program to be the dream boyfriend that anyone would want. When the program is complete, tall, blond, athletic and sensitive Marshall Williams comes into their lives. The perfect boyfriend for every girl and gay man around. Definitely these girls have learned How To Build A Better Boy.But it's not just Argota who's upset. The government has discovered someone has hacked into Bart's laboratory and has put the program in motion. National Security is imperiled.Watching this film a whole lot of possibilities occurred to me. For instance if one got an army of these one could take over the world unless someone put a worm in the program. And the race to make bigger and better robot soldiers, an interesting possibility for this country and other budding economic giants.Still this is a Disney teen film and the first order is to get Berglund a love life. Williams does this for her, but not the way Berglund and McClain thought it would happen.Not a great film, but a pleasant enough comedy with teen angst in it from the Magic Kingdom.
