No one sees how wrong the point of this show is??


How to Build a Better Boy?? That says that a boy who is natural and human is wrong inherently. Making Lisa in Weird Science was one thing. But, the movie was about Lisa teaching these boys that made her to love what's real, real love, and not some ideal. I think modern women to really work on accepting men for who they are and be grateful to men for what they give them.

Oh really? Don't you think you're over exaggerating a bit? :P

This is one of the rare movies where a boy (Jaden) is allowed to grow and change. Usually the boy is still shown to be selfish, stupid, and a failure. But Jaden turns out to be smarter than Mae thought. He was just playing dumb. He realizes that he needs to stop worrying about what other kids think of him and go for the girl he really likes and respects.

And yet, the girl (Mae) tosses him aside to hang out with her best friend. Even with everything they accomplished with Jaden, they still had to put that anti-boy message out there that you don't need a boy as long as you have a girl who will stand by you.

I liked the movie but hated that part of the ending. Mae should've gotten her first kiss from Jaden as the movie ended.

She didn't toss him aside. I mean, she said she wanted to dance with her friend, but that doesn't mean they won't date.

What about the ending? I mean, MAE's speech was b.s. because it came out of nowhere.

this movie was like Short Circuit, Weird Science, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, and D.A.R.Y.L. all rolled up into one to me. The speeding reminded me of Short Circuit. LOL

Have you seen the ending you would have known that that was kinda the point of the movie. I'm glad she didn't jumped with with other guy right away too.
