How to Build a Better Boy

How to Build a Better Boy (2014) is a Disney Channel sci-fi TV movie you can watch online on iFILM. Best friends Mae and Gabby accidentally run their dream-boyfriend checklist through a classified government system — one that was actually designed to build supersoldiers. The result is Albert: a cybernetic teen programmed to give Mae the perfect high-school romance, but built to handle a lot more than homework and slow dances. Starring China Anne McClain and Kelli Berglund, directed by Paul Hoen.

Albert follows his romantic directive to the letter, which turns a typical teen comedy into something closer to a spy caper once his military handlers come looking for their missing asset. Light, fast-paced fun that earns its laughs from the gap between teenage fantasy and Pentagon engineering. Stream How to Build a Better Boy (2014) online on iFILM.
