Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The strangest thing about it is that the parents in the movie are less weird than just about everybody else. Rated: 2/4 Aug 6, 2003 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a predominantly worthless piece of work that's aged terribly in the years since its 1991 release. Rated: .5/4 Jan 27, 2022 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Dated robot comedy set against a backdrop of suicide. Rated: 2/5 Feb 15, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

steve d Not even the kids will enjoy it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The Parents are weird, the kids are brilliant, but the idea is out of this world. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Well intended but flat pic that will only appeal to the under-twelves in the family. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Man that brought back memory's. They don't make good movies like they used to!!!!!
