D.A.R.Y.L. (1985)


Heartwarming family film that is quite entertaining. DARYL is a young boy that is actually a robot who, after being released from the lab by a defector, becomes accepted into a family. He eventually has to face the truth when the military comes calling for their project back. The film is pretty exciting for a family film as it contains car chases, a stealth bomber, and military-conspiracy shenanigans, but ultimately, DARYL is pretty tame. Typical to older family films there is some risque content (for example DARYL's friend calling his sister "Hooker"), but who cares? There is no lesson to be gleaned or deeper emotional content (other than a robot learning to love and that kind of mush), but DARYL is a fun, light-hearted, and harmless film that anyone can enjoy.

7/10
