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

This movie was so good, much better than I anticipated! I almost cried multiple times, tbh. Great visual, great story, and great characters!

The theme is spot on for today's youth. Kids struggling to create "real" friendships and turn to a bot to help them make friends.

Kids struggling to create "real" friendships and turn to a bot to help them make friends. If you think of how young people use social media these days you can see parallels everywhere. The writers knocked it out of the park on delivering a message that shows the difference between real and fake friendships. The message is clear. Making real friends is better.… Expand

It’s not just a hilarious buddy-comedy about a socially anxious kid and his malfunctioning robot, it’s a SCATHING commentary on the capitalistic nature of big tech and the nightmarish consequences it can have when given free reign. Some of the characters in the film that seem like one-dimensional stereotypes at first actually get fleshed out over the course of the film’s runtime, which adds a lot of thematic depth to the plot as an unexpectedly poignant reflection of today’s youth. Almost everything about “Ron’s Gone Wrong” is subversive and ridiculously entertaining, and it truly deserves the acclaim it’s getting right now.… Expand

Despite being very formulaic and lacking any particular style when it comes to its art design and animation quality theres a heart that beats true at the centre of it and the excellent voice cast keep things entertaining. Worth a watch if you're a fan of this type of family animation.… Expand

The writing was outstanding, the lines written for Ron's character were hilarious and I loved how they choose to explore more mature themes while still being perfect for kids but also adults they did a excellent job at exploring what it means to be friends, loving yourself for who you are, and how nowadays we are way to overly obsessed with wanting to be liked by random people online that we forget about what is important. The animation was superb. The performances from Zach Galifianakis and Jack Dylan Grazer we're exceptional, some of the best voice-over work I've seen in awhile. An A+ very underappreciated movie with beautiful messages.… Expand

Ron's Gone Wrong is an outstanding animated film, written by Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith. It really connects with its audience through funny jokes and loveable characters, while also delivering the important message that no matter how kids present themselves, especially in middle school, they all are experiencing similar challenges and feelings. This message is very important, especially for young kids and teens to hear, and Ron's Gone Wrong brings this theme to light.

The storyline follows a socially awkward middle schooler named Barney (Jack Dylan Grazer), who is ostracized because he does not own the hottest new piece of tech -- a B-bot, or a digitally connected "Best Friend Out of the Box." That changes when his grandmother and father surprise him for his birthday with his very own B-bot, although this B-bot is a bit different than what he expected.

The film is critical of social media replacing friendships in real life and the potential of tech companies to violate people's privacy. One of the characters has an embarrassing image of her go viral through her B-bot, resulting in her feeling embarrassed and being unable to take it down. Ron's Gone Wrong has a very talented, all-star cast. Jack Dylan Grazer's portrayal of Barney makes him believable and relatable as a middle school outcast. Another hilarious cast member is Zach Galifianakis, who voices the defective B-bot, Ron. He cracks me up and makes this movie so funny. Director Octavio Rodriguez creates a vibrant, colorful animation style that brings these characters to life - especially the B-bots, but also the goat and chicken that belong to Barney's grandmother who is from "the old country."

The primary message is that the challenges of being a middle schooler, including wanting to fit in and make friends, are universal. There is also a critical message about the danger of too much technology and its impact on kids and the world. Parents should know there is some animated violence when Ron goes after Barney's bullies, but overall, the film is very positive.
I give Ron's Gone Wrong 5 out 5 stars and I highly recommend it for ages 9 to 18, plus adults. I love this movie and believe you will too.… Expand

Honestly I didn't expect that much from this movie, it had some nice jokes. Locksmith Animation might do some great animation films in the future.
