most stupid flick I have ever seen


An invisible brat playing juvenile pranks on eggheads sitting at a table. Parents somewhat perterbed at discovering that their son has become invisible whilst they eat at the dinner table. ( never mind being completely shocked or flabberghasted ) How can anybody think that this is good?

Well, you've made not just one, but two posts (so far) about how you think the movie is so dumb! It must have really damaged your psyche!

While I agree there are alot of plot holes in the script there are also elements in it I really like. I think it would be a good canidate for a remake with a well-written script. Some of the things I like about it:

-----SPOILERS--Do not read further if you have not seen the film-------------

-A poor father and son relationship which the supercomputer realizes it can exploit to further its aims.

-Using the boy to build/reactive the robot.

-A growing relationship between boy and robot.

-The robot having to choose between obeying the supercomputer and hurting the boy.

-The supercomputer finally thinking at the end that it has gotten the upperhand and ordering the robot to destroy the boy and father only to suddenly realize the robot has walked right past them and it is going to smash the computer's AI banks

Nowhere near as stupid or lame as "Passion of the Christ" in which you and OP peed your pants.

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.

Silly is a way better word.
