Animation. Comedy. Sci-Fi Set in a world where walking, talking, digitally connected bots have become children's best friends, this is the story of an 11-year-old boy who finds that his robot buddy doesn't quite work. Named Ron, it is a Bubble Bot damaged in transit, now it is wreaking havoc and only young Barney can make things right.

	Author	Review
United States	Rafael Motamayor IndieWire	"This is not quite "The Mitchells vs. the Machines," but the film has enough heart and ideas to justify its existence."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A movie for everybody who ever felt as a child like they had to settle for the janky, knockoff version of the toy they really wanted (...) A fun, snappy, tongue-in-cheek toon"	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"[It] sends up technology addiction with a decent amount of wit (...) As family entertainment, it’s fine."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Watchable if very derivative animated movie (...) it winds up suspiciously neutral about whether kids really should abandon digital enslavement in favour of real-life human friends (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"It has a huge heart and a lot to say (...) An amiable, amusing story of unlikely friendship (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"A lively and sometimes hilarious animated adventure and a sweet story of friendship (...) Young viewers will probably see a lot of themselves in these characters (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Anna Smith Deadline	"An endearing mix of earthy values and sci-fi concepts (...) While not all the gags land, the film is often laugh-out-loud funny"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"'Ron's Gone Wrong' transcends the familiarity of the story with deft writing, appealing animation and a big heart (...) Full of nicely observed details. Animation, like friendship, is all about caring about the little things"	POS
United States	Yolanda Machado The Wrap	"After watching the film, every child will likely want their own Ron, which just proves how poorly conceived the message is."	NEG
United States	Charles Bramesco AV Club	"A lighthearted commentary on the wonders and hazards of our screen-saturated culture"	POS
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"What the animated feature lacks in daring imagination, it makes up for with endearing good humor, thoughtful cultural critique and one heck of a cute robot."	POS
United States	Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"'Ron' gets a few things right (...) But arguably the film’s greatest comic asset — Galifianakis — is squandered by a one-note delivery that’s level-less by design. Ron is equally happy to narrate good times and bad"	NEU
United States	Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media	"An entertaining mix of kid-friendly adventure, quirky buddy comedy, and cautionary schoolyard drama (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
