Featured reviews
Really good social animated story about friendship and media but in a calm way
I don't understand the few reviews of absolutely hating on this it's not that slow or saturated with to much of anything! The main voices are wonderful throughout and color design is really good. Might not have as much to say as others but what I would say is the film is solid fun that shouldn't be taken as seriously as some vehicle stories. Lovable mindless entertainment with touches of all around genres!
Honestly an underrated family favourite
I took my son and the Mrs to see this in the cinema and honestly didn't have much hopes was more just something to watch ... Boy was I wrong I laughed from the first five mins and it took us all on an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs really hitting home the feeling of how kids are these days with all the technology at their finger tips and just how much that is posted online can never appear as it seems ... Fully recommend and il say no more ... Get yourself out there to see it ... A film well worth my money.
It was a lot more fun than I expected!
Considering the premise I thought this would be a pretty formulaic animated movie with not much originality. And I wasn't wrong. However, the whole thing is very well done and entertaining throughout for both kids and adults alike. So even though there is nothing groundbreaking here, I still recommend it as it is fun, cute, and with some well-done mild social commentary.
Cute and sweet
This animation is very cute and sweet. The characters are cute and likable. I like the story, as it is very relatable. I think both adults and children will like this film.
Great fun from beginning to end
I wasn't sure what to expect from this film, as it seemed similar to Next Gen (2018) and The Mitchells vs. The Machines (2021). They all feature an Apple-inspired robotics company, a quirky young outcast and a world obsessed by consumer electronics. What are the differences? Next Gen also has a quirky robot but it's more militaristic than Ron who is just constantly a ditz. The Mitchells vs. The Machines end up with no technology on their side at all. I think this film touches on a lot of points that are salient for the younger generation nowadays - social media fame is fleeting, friends are valuable because of their differences, and our mistakes should not be eternal. It's message was better than Next Gen, which resorted to sci-fi action to convey its message about tech addiction. However, it was not as good as The Mitchells vs. The Machines which had a more nuanced message about tech affecting our social lives. Overall, though, Ron's Gone Wrong by far had the cutest robot.
Did you know
- TriviaJack Dylan Grazer first began recording lines for the role of Barney in 2017 when he was 13 and did not finalize his role until early 2021 by the time he was 18. Grazer said that it became difficult to maintain his 13-year-old prepubescent voice throughout the years of recording.
- GoofsWhen Rich tries the jump scare on Savannah in the school corridor, he rips the clock off the wall as he falls. But in the next shot it is still on the wall.
