Heartfelt and beautiful

Having read the book, and watched part of the stage musical adaption, I was super excited for this film adaption. There are quite a few differences to the book in terms of characters and setting but tang is exactly how I visioned him. Ken was brilliant and some of the smaller nods to the book reminded me of my childhood. The story is simple but for a perfect reason. It doesn't follow the normal of a robot movie which is what makes it so loveable because you fall in love with a robot and its human instead of fearing it and hating humans. Overall I would recommend this for family movie lovers and others need to seriously read the book.

Upbeat positive futuristic Japan romantic comedy action movie

It felt like watching a live action Ghibli movie. The mixture between Western and Japanese, old and new, comedy and character development made for a very interesting story. I decided to watch it because Ninomiya was acting in it. However, watching it made me interested in reading the story it was based on. They were several interesting turns in the blood and I love the happy ending. The character development was enough to make me want to watch the whole movie. There were a couple of times where it was slow but it made sense. In fact I wish it were a longer film so they could develop some of the other characters.

Okay for kids

This is very obviously a kids movie. The robot (Tang) is cute and lovable enough. Children will probably re-watch this just for Tang. Some adults may enjoy this if they can handle the cute overload.Two plot issues: near the end of the movie it becomes difficult to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. There is also far too much emphasis on the relationship between the man and robot at a critical moment when the emphasis should have been on the man has his wife. Serious conceptual flaw there. (You'll just have to watch it to understand.)I wouldn't really recommend it for adults unless you enjoy children's films. For children it's fine. Younger children may be somewhat frightened by one of the fight scenes near the end due to a large and menacing robotic arm. Other than that it's pretty harmless.
