I loved this from the moment B-Bot was choking the chicken. WTF is going on!? That little robot is crazy! And I was crying 40 minutes in, because OMG RON YOU ARE SO CUTE!!! I can't even.

Silly hijinks aside, this movie is ultimately about acceptance and being who you are and connection, of course. It's so cute.

Chicago.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I wanted to give it a chance despite the terrible trailer.

How did I like this?
I liked it more than I expected. It wasn't as bad as it looked, but it also didn't make much sense. I did think it was kind of funny that Max assumed they were trying to kidnap him when they just wanted their doll back. Unfortunately, everything was so convenient and contrived to set up each scene, I was not into that. It does have heart though and I felt like the ending was more realistic.

The scene with the negligent cop? Was that suppose to be funny? Because that is horrifying! Cops already have a bad rep in the media and that did not help.
