Not Quite Human

About This Movie

So, 'Not Quite Human' is this quirky blend of comedy and sci-fi that dives into the life of an android trying to fit in. You've got Dr. Carson, this well-meaning scientist who creates Chip, a teenage android, which sets the stage for some amusing high school antics. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but in a charming way, almost like it's embracing the awkwardness of adolescence—whether human or not. The practical effects are not anything groundbreaking, but they have a certain charm that adds to the film's unique atmosphere. And the theme of acceptance runs through it pretty strongly. The performances, especially from the younger cast, are earnest, which kind of makes you root for Chip despite the film's predictability.

Solid representation of 80s family sci-fi comedies.Offers a light-hearted take on the concept of artificial intelligence.The interactions between Chip and his peers provide interesting insights into acceptance.
