The strangest thing about it is that the parents in the movie are less weird than just about everybody else. Go to Full Review

...a predominantly worthless piece of work that's aged terribly in the years since its 1991 release. Go to Full Review

Michael W @mawilps Jan 16 This robot movie was pretty good. Joshua John Miller, Edan Gross, Marcia Strassman, Alan Thicke, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The story of the movie was kind of humorous and a little over the top. It's about bringing your dad back to life in the form of a robot. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you might enjoy it. It wasn't as great as I thought, but it wasn't terrible. See more steve d 07/10/2020 Not even the kids will enjoy it. See more 10/30/2014 Father who passed away returns in the robot invention his two sons put together in the garage. Dad manages to reconnect with the kids and seems to give his blessing to Mom's new romance while saving the family from peril before returning to heaven. Feel good movie for tweens with Alan Thicke wisely cast as the voice of Dad given he was in the midst of a long run as the patriarch of the Seaver household in ABC's hit comedy Growing Pains. See more 02/28/2014 Two whiz kids build a small R2 unit which is inhabited by the spirit of their deceased father after some tinkering by kids on a ouija board. Recruiting Alan Thicke to voice the robot/father was an excellent call given his role on Growing Pains. Despite the title the parents are not actually weird at all; they are caring and protective against overdone caricatures of greedy corporate types, unscrupulous rivals and pushy reporters invading their privacy. See more 07/18/2012 The Parents are weird, the kids are brilliant, but the idea is out of this world. See more 04/06/2012 Well intended but flat pic that will only appeal to the under-twelves in the family. See more Read all reviews
