Ok so Disney has brought us amazing original movies and good retellings old stories, but this is just a huge ripoff of weird science. Let's take a look at the similarities.Weird Science is about two nerds who don't have any friends decide to make a simulation of a girl to get tips on how to get girls only for the simulation to create an actual living breathing girl. The three then go on some wacky adventures How to build a better boy is about two nerds who don't have any friends decide to make a simulation of a boy so they won't feel sad only for the simulation to create an actual living breathing boy. The three then go on some wacky adventures There are only two differences. 1. The characters are gender bent 2. Weird science is actually funny and charming. I would recommend Weird Science to anyone any day, but this is just a crap remake. I gave it a 2 only because the acting is ok. Not great,but ok. This is Disney at its worst

This movie is just awful in every way. The main characters are nerds. You can tell because, you see, in Disney Channel Land glasses automatically means that they must be nerdy. And in the 2 beginning scenes the girls are getting picked on RIGHT IN FRONT OF TEACHERS! Someone would've said something to a teacher and most would've sided with the 2 girls. And of courses there's a obnoxious "hot" athletic dude that one nerd likes. Yeah, this movie is incredibly cliché.Not to mention, when Albert is taken away, the first girl is extremely conceited. She tells the other girl that he'll come back for her instead of, I don't know, fighting for your lives. Also, Disney released another movie talking about "making boys better". (That movie was Zapped.) Disney, why do you care so much about how bad boys apparently are? Personally, and this a coming from a girl, at this age, boys are a lot less annoying than girls. But of course, girls are their main audience and those 11-year-old girls need something to watch when their boyfriend that they only had for a month breaks up with them. Or the girls who always post "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." Facebook quotes.Overall, really cliché and guy bashing movie.

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.

Terrific movie by Disney standards and any standards. The cast was excellent, it was very well written and funny. I liked the scientists being girls (girls so badly need good geek role models!) I also thought the boy they created was great: a dream boy but he was so smooth and charming and funny in a completely easy way. Girls will relate to this one and boys will too. The old Disney Family Movie model is alive and well and really enjoyable. The ending was fast paced, action packed and full of sentiment though oddly not that sentimental. In short, this is a real winner. I would watch it again. And probably laugh in all the same places. If you are looking for family entertainment, this is the right pick.
