Ok so Disney has brought us amazing original movies and good retellings old stories, but this is just a huge ripoff of weird science. Let's take a look at the similarities. Weird Science is about two nerds who don't have any friends decide to make a simulation of a girl to get tips on how to get girls only for the simulation to create an actual living breathing girl. The three then go on some wacky adventures How to build a better boy is about two nerds who don't have any friends decide to make a simulation of a boy so they won't feel sad only for the simulation to create an actual living breathing boy. The three then go on some wacky adventures There are only two differences. 1. The characters are gender bent 2. Weird science is actually funny and charming. I would recommend Weird Science to anyone any day, but this is just a crap remake. I gave it a 2 only because the acting is ok. Not great,but ok. This is Disney at its worst

Back when I was a boy, I was really into Disney Channel alongside Cartoon Network & Nickelodeon, I remember watching this movie back in 2014 when it first premiered on the Disney Channel, & really enjoying it. As an adult, I enjoy this movie even more & it's become my favorite Disney Channel Original Movie. One of the reasons why I love this movie is because of Kelli Berglund, who played Bree Davenport on Lab Rats & now plays Crystal Tyler on Heels, & it was cool to see Kelli back in her early days before she really started to rise in the acting world. Aside from that detail, everyone else from China Anne McClain to Marshall Williams also give great performance, which is saying a lot especially given the fact that this is a Disney Channel Original Movie. Overall, How to Build a Better Boy (2014) is a absolute blast from start to finish, so if you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend you give this movie a watch.

This is a really awesome movie. You should definitely check it out. Great acting. Funny. Romantic. Etc. I love Kelli Berglund. She's pretty awesome. She also played in Lab Rats. It's a good movie that the whole family could enjoy. I'm sure many girls would love it. I'm sure many boys would learn some useful life lessons by watching it.

OK now don't get me wrong I enjoyed the movie and I love the actors who playing in it. But the female lead oh my gosh she was so annoying she changed completely after meeting the guy and ignored her best friend she acted kind of like she was all that and she got her head stuck in the clouds and so obviously she started to ignore her best friend who is trying to help her and they got an argument going to fight whatever whatever right she doesn't even end up apologizing the best friend apologizes and she's like " I held you back" like I found out so annoying.

Ha, I don't know why I saw this movie. AHA. Can be regarded as history, the ugliest Disney film, in addition to the male master can watch a little bit, everyone else is ugly. Is that mean girI sure it's not from Thailand? And I speak French all day. Is it true that her brother, the lady, is not here to be a guest? Ha, like. If you don't like me, that's your problem. Right

This movie just had me in shock and awe. Disney says this is original but I literally stood there in shock realizing that this movie is weird science in every possible way just with different characters genders. Weird science is actually funny with a good message. How to build a better boy is not funny and somewhat of an OK message. I honestly do not recommend this movie because the comedy does not stick. I didn't give a single crap about the characters the boy actually gave me a couple laughs but just to that only a couple of laughs. If you're a Disney fan boy then see It but for anyone who is not, don't watch this movie. Watch weird science, that movie is actually very funny.
