I saw Ron's Gone Wrong, starring the voices of Jack Dylan Grazer-Shazam!, the It movies; Zach Galifianakis-A Wrinkle in Time, What Happens in Vegas; Ed Helms-Chappaquiddick, the Hangover movies and Olivia Colman-The Crown_tv, Hot Fuzz.
This is an animated movie that is basically a commentary on social media and how it affects kids. Jack is a middle school kid that is not very popular-he has no friends. A new personal robot-called 'bots'-is the new cell phone for the younger generation and every kid wants one. With these bots, they can text, talk, send videos & pictures.....etc. And they are a sign of status. They are marketed as being the new best friend to their juvenile owners. Jack does not have one. He keeps asking his father, Ed, for one and when he finally gets one, it is damaged and causes lots of back and forth struggles between it and Jack on their journey to find the true meaning of friendship. Zach voices the damaged bot, Ron and Olivia voices Jack's grandmother.
It's rated PG for crude material and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 46 minutes.
I enjoyed it enough to buy it on DVD and the younger kids should enjoy it, too.
