HOT BOT

REVIEWED
From the looks of its poster and the title, you think that this could be a cheapskate B X  movie ? Well not necessarily so. Most of the actors I dont know except for Anthony Anderson (of blackish fame and was in the 1st transformer) and the senator. The father (step father?) is also a familiar TV series face. Although AA is named last in the opening credit, he was adequately acting in the movie. The 2 main "nerdy" stars are unknown but to me they carried the film well especially Limus. Sometimes you feel sorry for his sorry ass hoping that he'll stand up for himself. And Bardot the robot is eye candy. Looks like a slender Elizabeth Banks and dont act much (as she is a robot daaa).

Yes despite the poster and the title, you have little skin exposure in this movie. Many who were hoping to watch because of that would be disappointing. The background music was accompanied by some jazzy band trying to do something like the Ocean's 13 (and so on) movies. Being low budget but it works sometimes.

Till the end wondering how is Lumis's family actually. Is that his step father and step sister but they seem to be so domineering like a real family. Perhaps they try to pull like a Jurassic Park 2 movie one where Jeff Godblum's ovie daughter character is black but no one ask why and how. So that goes with this one too, I guess.

I would have emphasized a lot more when the boys discovered Bardot after crashing on her after all she was near naked. Theres non of this as the next scene was Bardot in the boy's car.

Its not a waste of time watching this with the familiar topic of robot becoming human. Thou you could come up with lots of complains on how things happened like the way there were, but if you dont take the movie seriously, you'll be OK.

The production of the movie is nicely done and you dont feel that its a low budget movie where the credit goes to the Polish brothers? who directed and also wrote the movie.  Ending is like a Jackie Chan movie where it show goofie failed scenes.
