An amiable, amusing story of unlikely friendship, which is as aware of what makes people tick as it is of what makes tech troubling. Read full review

Ron’s Gone Wrong transcends the familiarity of the story (there’s a thematic an overlap with Big Hero 6 and How To Train Your Dragon, to name just two) with deft writing, appealing animation and a big heart crammed into a small malfunctioning robot. Read full review

Ron’s Gone Wrong is a weird, quirky family comedy that pushes all the right buttons. Unexpectedly poignant, it asks some big questions about growing up in the age of social media. Read full review

There’s a system incompatibility error with the dominant bestie metaphor that leaves the film’s stance on Big Gizmo garbled. Read full review

The debut feature from animation studio Locksmith is cute but familiar. Read full review

Ron’s Gone Wrong has enough ideas about our current relationship with technology and social media to bring about important conversations between parents and teens that are more than just “phones are bad,” while delivering a charming and at times laugh-out-loud funny story about a boy and his robot computer friend.

Ron’s Gone Wrong thinks it’s being subversive when its really being very corporate. It wastes its voice cast — including Olivia Colman, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis — and it never really connects, ending as awkwardly as a modern-day seventh-grader with a rock collection. Read full review

Divertido e engraçado, ron bugado é um filme muito bom, que eu não esperava nada e que conquistou com um assunto impotante, que é de você não ter amigos na vida real, so na virtual ou nem mesmo na virtual, e de você se sentir solitario as vezes, e o final é bem emocionante

It's not perfect, but it's a heartwarming story about friendship with a good message, and I had a good time with it.

I really enjoyed Ron's Gone Wrong! A lighthearted and fun family flick that left me with a big smile on my face. Surprisingly funny and clever at times with great characters and a nice little message to tie it all together.
