The problem with Ron’s Gone Wrong is that so much has happened to so many people. Not to mention the bots that are their best friends. It’s hard to believe the film is interested in anything.
Ron’s Gone Wrong feature the concepts of friendship, loneliness, social media, big technology, turtleneck investors, and t-shirt investors. Meaning, the film couldn’t have come at a better time than now. When a fire on Facebook is lit by a skeleton rescued from a deep cupboard.
Ron’s Gone Wrong leaves nothing to chance.
From Bulgarian immigrants with their worst fears of communism to capitalists’ paradise empires, there’s something for everyone – and significant savings. The problem with Rons Gone Wrong is that so much has happened to so many people. Not to mention the bots who are their best friends. It’s hard to believe that anything was essential to the film at all.

Bubble Network developed this bot as a kid’s best friend. Coincidentally, the bot knows everything about the boy and thus becomes his constant companion. Think of a bot that doubles as a phone with an oval top with flippers for arms. And legs that can post your selfies. Check on your followers, pack a world of information, and even give you a space experience if you wish. When kids go out together, it’s their bot that scours the company to choose the best match for each other.
Barney (Grazer) enters, the only boy without his bubble bot. The lovely boy of indefinite age only complains weakly to his father and grandmother (Coleman, very exhausted). Life can be cruel for such a freak. We know this from many Hollywood movies, but even without them, it’s hard to understand a family who doesn’t realize their young child may be traumatized while others his age showing off their bots with friends and even at School get the same.
When Barney still gets his partially damaged bot from a fall and calls him Ron (Galifianakis), their exploration of friendship sparks here and there. However, the film continues to drift away from them, leaving us with no time to grow up. Of the many, many other kids and their many, many bots flooding the screen, only Savannah (Central), who is constantly seeking followers on social media, has impacted.
The dynamic between the investor (Delaney) and the inventor (Smith) is also enjoyable.
As investors continue to expand the scope of the network that inventors have built “from the garage,”. However, inventors are rushing in and out.
It turned out that the inventor was an adult Peter Panish named Mark who could handle the growth of the business. Wouldn’t you like this to apply to all signs in the world?
Still, minimalist Ron (as Barney calls him) is eager to please, and the sequence in which he and Barney try to bond despite technical glitches is the strongest in the film. The exciting part is knowing that Ron went out into the world to share photos with strangers and share friend requests made of construction paper and pastels.

The pace is fast here, and the puns are consistently clever. But when Ron goes crazy on a viral website, idealistic b-bot inventor (Dustis Smith) and soulless and for-profit CEO Bubble (Rob Delaney) struggle to face the consequences with minimal damage. Their conflicting intentions run parallel to the film’s attempts to work on two conflicting levels simultaneously: they can’t work together.
Young viewers are likely to see a lot of themselves in these characters, however, whether they’re lonely like Barney or a popular girl who’s secretly sad like Savannah (Kylie Central), who is constantly being fed the beast on social media to boost self-esteem. But for teens and slightly younger kids, this less sophisticated model should work just fine. They. There is a better film that takes on this theme: “Eighth Grade” by Bo Burnham.
