A scientist finds his newest invention; a microchip that infuses inanimate objects with human qualities co-opted by the company he works for, which wants to capitalize on his findings. Knowing his creation can be used for evil purposes, he stashes it away, but his 11-year-old son, Charlie (Jared Robbins), finds it and implants it into a vacuum cleaner he calls Stardust. Will he manage to elude his dad's greedy bosses?

SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
DoorsFanatic03 Aside from the fact that I went to school with Jared Robbins(Charlie) I absolutely enjoyed this film! It was funny and entertaining and perfect for the whole family. Jared Robbins in a great kid and can act too. I've seen him in school and he's hilarious. If you can find a copy of this movie or catch it on cable I would try to see it. You might find it to be something up your alley! Rating: 6 of 10 stars Chris
Darren (DJ-21) Ok this movie does reassemble some other well known movies like Short Circuit but it was made on a low budget and the cast was mostly locally sourced from the Detroit area... Therefore if you wasn't aware of that you would think that it was a little know high budget movie. The reason why is because the acting is mostly first class the story is good, it does get a little drawn out in some parts and the vacuum cleaner noises do tend to get a little annoying. Jared Robbins who plays Charlie does have a striking similarity to Jonathan Taylor Thomas apart from being a little taller. Watch this movie if you can... I'm sure you and your family will like it!
brude2000 An experimental `bio-chip' bestows anthropomorphic properties on an outdated, household vacuum cleaner in this derivative family yarn featuring Amanda Donohoe and Giancarlo Esposito.Newcomer Jared Robbins takes center stage as `Stardust's' owner, a schoolboy whose scientist-father has been imprisoned for refusing to co-operate with the `evil military complex.' Get the picture? After promises of comparisons to `Short Circuit' and `Home Alone,' this fantasy quickly fizzles out.It started off strong and I really wanted to like it, but `Stardust' is a major waste of time. I kept waiting for the dumb vacuum cleaner -- and the movie -- to come to life. Neither did.
