You’re no one without a B-Bot, and, sadly, that’s how Barney Pudowski (voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer) is feeling.īarney being an outsider – and being raised by a single parent to boot (his father voiced by Ed Helms) – means the Peter Baynham-penned script (written with co-director Smith) touches on its share of message-leaning notes. Linked to the owner’s own preferences and personality – think of it as your Instagram likes come to life – the B-Bot acts as a sort-of guide for them to find like-minded student bodies and bond over whichever fad or subject they share an innate interest in. There’s familiar traction covered throughout, and an off-base third act that feels like it attempts too much in a condensed period of time, but Ron’s Gone Wrong proves satisfying all the same as it sets up its narrative hook with the notion that children don’t truly need to hone personal skills if a curated algorithm can do it for them it’s a scary examination, but not entirely one that’s reaching in its actuality.Ī B-Bot – short for Bubble Bot – is a toddler-sized capsule that’s advertised as “Your best friend out of the box”, and it’s the hottest toy craze in the unnamed U.S. Much like the titular Ron, the Sarah Smith/ Jean-Phillipe Vine-directed feature is a quirky, occasionally flawed, but nonetheless charming venture that explores humanity’s relationship with technology and whether or not it truly is as valuable a companion as it’s so often made out to be.
Comparisons between Ron’s Gone Wrong and 2014’s Big Hero 6 seem inevitable, yet, apart from the central relationship between a young adolescent boy and an operated robot, the two share little DNA, so it’s probably best that’s put to bed before going any further.
