Reviews
80
An amiable, amusing story of unlikely friendship, which is as aware of what makes people tick as it is of what makes tech troubling.
80
Peter Baynham, best-known for Borat and Alan Partridge, co-wrote this script, which offers just the right of blend of madcap farce and piercingly precise gags about social media.
80
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.
70
It’s a shame that the mile-a-minute plot of “Ron’s Gone Wrong” isn’t more focused.
67
There’s a system incompatibility error with the dominant bestie metaphor that leaves the film’s stance on Big Gizmo garbled.
