I can remember way back when I still in 6th grade when this movie came out. I watched Disney all the time at this age and my best friend did too. I can remember how unbelievably excited we were to watch this movie after Disney had been doing their usual hype over it's new movies.Like other reviews have stated, this movie starts out really fun and interesting, and then takes a boring turn at the end. But it's honestly only because this house starts out so amazing and it really holds your interest to see all the cool new things the house can do. Some things you could picture actually happening, such as the huge screens on the walls. Most things though are completely impossible. I remember even back then, the scene where the floor sucks in all the debris from the party through the carpets made me roll my 6th grade eyes.However, you have to keep in mind that it's just supposed to be a fun little Disney Original Movie and you let the impossibilities of it all pass. Cause honestly, who doesn't wish their floor could clean itself? Or that you could just make a food select off a touch screen and have it magically pop out of your counter? I especially liked how the house picked out the little girl's outfit in the morning.The only real thing that really bugged me about this movie, and I don't even know why it bugs me so much, is how the kids got busted for their party. That Gwen girl tossed her sweater over a house plant and suddenly its completely obvious that they threw a party? Couldn't the little girl just play it off that it was her sweater? I dunno, it just always bugged me. But then it is Disney, and Disney can be incredibly ridiculous sometimes.I would rate this a 6 out of 10 because the movie really is quite cheesy but still enjoyable to watch. Good for kids and preteens. Though I would not recommend it to those that would put too much thought into it, like I tend to do. It really is just meant to be watched and enjoyed.

I actually do enjoy this film. The first half of it is pretty good but it gets dull and boring as it goes on. but at the same time, it is kinda cheesy and unrealistic. I know it's just a movie but seriously..a computerized house? That would be awesome but it will most likely not happen. and like some others said, I don't see how 8th grade boys still listen to N'SYNC. Also, the girl can get very, very annoying and the Sarah/Nick relationship goes a little to far for a Disney film. It's one of the better films Disney has made and the effects are pretty good but some of it is just kinda odd.Overall, this film is pretty good. I enjoyed it but like I said, it gets boring as it goes on.

It's not a bad movie. The story's interesting, the acting is alright. It's got a lot of things in it that are unrealistic, but that doesn't make it bad (I mean how realistic is The Wizard of Oz or Planet of the Apes) It's pretty good for a made for TV movie, I'd say. If it's on TV and you've got nothing better to do, I would recommend watching it.

Tiny SpoilersThis movie is alright. The part where they enter the house and tour it - thats pretty cool. But at the ending/middle parts it gets really boring and people don't want to watch it anymore.
