ROB.B

About This Movie

So, ROB.B is kind of an interesting take on the retro sci-fi genre, set in this quirky 1950s world. The tone has this playful absurdity that feels almost reminiscent of old TV sitcoms, but with a twist of surreal humor. The pacing can be a bit odd, fluctuating between zany moments with the son Thomas and the more grounded chaos that Richard faces as a father. Practical effects have a charming, rough-around-the-edges quality, which gives it that authentic retro feel. The performances carry a lot of the film, with the cast really leaning into their roles—there's a certain sincerity in Richard's struggle. It’s not your typical family comedy; it explores themes of parenting and rebellion in a way that's both light-hearted and thought-provoking.
