Review of Hot Bot

Hot Bot (2016)
4/10
Horrible character alert
30 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A highly advanced prototype female sex-partner robot, en route to a sleazy senator, falls into the hands of two teenage virgin nerds. Hilarity ensues.

When I say "hilarity ensues", what I mean is that this teenage sex comedy has a complete absence of humour. And often, with unfunny comedies, you can see where they are meant to be funny but aren't: here you can't even see those moments. Also, like many such movies, it wimps out on the sex, too - the film is pretty chaste. And, while we're at it, it's low on teenagers...

But I am mostly concerned with nerd Leonard (Zack Pearlman). We have skinny loser nerd Limus and fat loser nerd Leonard. Now, if you are a fat loser nerd - a fairly heavy burden to struggle through your teenage years with - why on earth would you add to it by being an aggressive A-hole fat loser nerd? This character was horrible - obnoxious and just plain unpleasant to be around - and made a bad movie much, much worse.
