When Ron hears that Barney doesn’t have a mother, he says thoughtfully: “She was returned to the factory?” Barney himself, with his short hair and big ears, looks poignantly, if perhaps unintentionally, like the kid on the front of Mad magazine. The movie runs with touch-screen efficiency and there are some genuinely tender moments when Barney is brought face-to-face with his own misery. The corporation wants to reclaim this rogue unit, so Barney has to hide his wonderful new best friend. But this dodgy B-Bot, Ron (Zach Galifianakis), turns out to be wildly good fun with its hilariously inappropriate behaviour – and it beats up the bullies. Poor Barney’s humiliation and wretchedness reach a low point when his dad buys him a damaged B-Bot that fell off the truck, because it’s all he can afford – a B-Bot that boots up incorrectly (with the old dial-up sound) and is all wonky and wrong. Marc’s senior partner and majority investor is the coldly calculating Andrew Morris (Rob Delaney), who, we are given to understand, is the corporate bad guy – as opposed to Marc being the corporate good guy. These gizmos are marketed by the Bubble corporation, run by twentysomething ex-nerd Marc (Justice Smith), who believes the B-Bots will help kids make friends. Barney is deeply ashamed of his poverty, his asthma and his failure to fit in: he is regularly forced to sit on the school’s “buddy bench” during recess by the well-meaning teacher, begging for people to hang out with him.Ībove all, Barney is ashamed that his family can’t afford to buy him a B-Bot, the new must-have toy: a waist-high, R2-D2-shaped robot that follows you around, hooks you up to social media, records video, plays games, and knows all your tastes and hobbies. His dad, Graham (Ed Helms), is a sad widower, scraping a living selling novelties over the web, and his comedy Borat-gran Donka (Olivia Colman) keeps goats and chickens.

We always look after our customers, you just need to show you are one of them! We are a small toy store and cannot afford to accept other stores faulty or unwanted items. We only accept returns on products purchased from our store, so if the product was a gift, you need to check with the purchaser. Online orders will be recorded in our system. Goods purchased in store will need to have a cash register receipt. Any order sent and returned will be credited/exchanged less postage costs. You are best to box most items to ensure that they arrive in good condition.
