d_penn - 28 May 2024 R0NB1NT5CAT5C0 HHHOOOLLLYYY WWWOOOWWW!!! WHAT AN AMAZING MOVIE!! I really love the message that friendship means a lot in really meaningful ways. Friendship is so important because you can have people you can always rely on, trust on, count on, support, and above all show unconditional love to one another. I also really love how this movie focuses more on bringing people together rather than blowing them and things up. Developing more meaning in movies like this makes audiences think about society and their personal lives and the influences that shape them and the society. Additionally, I was so amused, enthusiastic, energetic, and intrigued about Jack Dylan Grazer as Barney Pudowski as he fully embodied the transformative character by Ron. Barney is actually my favorite person in this movie. Barney is 11-years-old and is a socially awkward middle-schooler but in a good and funny way. Barney is also smart in some good ways but is also very anxious and lonesome ever since Barney lost his mother who kept Barney's family together. Barney also dreams of becoming gregarious and social because he is very lonely because he doesn't have any friends since he lost his mother who cared about Barney very much. But Barney also is really compassionate and caring about his family especially to Ron. Barney also is trying to find his way in the world. Barney also sometimes has an active imagination as he likes to play pretend. Also I was amused, intrigued, and fascinated by Zach Galifianakis's performance as Ron. Ron is Barney's malfunctioned B-Bot who is suppose to help Barney make friends. Ron is not really expert on being friends and forming a good friendship with Barney. He is more of an expert when it comes to making friendships with others. But sometimes Ron can make really big bad mistakes which often lands Barney in trouble for no reason without Ron even realizing it. But eventually Ron always tries to find a way out of the problem with some help from Barney. But Ron also is very caring to Barney as Ron helps Barney find his way in the world ever since Barney lost his mother. I really love how this movie emphasizes the hero's journey and highlights the importance of friendship. Friendship is super important because then you have people who can always help you accomplish your goals. I also am really proud how they made the characters, the characters reactions, the settings, and colors not too abstract and more realistic. I just love that very much. When I watched this movie I was so intrigued and so energetic by Jack's performance that I feel like I was part of the actually movie myself. I actually acted myself out playing parts of Jacks performance as Barney, even acting as a good protector of Barney and a good mother figure to him and a really awesome friend to Barney. I really advise Jack Dylan Grazer that he stick to just like the way he looks in his major Disney Wiki Fandom photo. I also really advise Jack that he should perform more in more cartoon family movies. He seems more funny, energetic, and enthusiastic that way. He even expressed his opinions about this experience and he says he actually really loves that experience very much. This movie is full of friendship, connections, acceptance, and self-confidence. Thank you very much 20th Century Animation, Locksmith Animation, and TSG Entertainment for the outstanding movie! Please keep making more films that focus on heartfelt messages which bring people together by accepting differences and hearing stories that go unnoticed.
mpkRatings - 8 August 2022 Missed Opportunity to showcase today's truth After watching the first 30 minutes, I thought the movie's gonna focus more on the Online Internet Privacy aspects, such as illegality around data collection & online surveillance without user consent. But at the end, the plot just went with no pillars backing around the story.
