It's Good

Warning: Spoilers
I've seen the trailer and had a feeling that the movie may not be good. But after seeing it I think it was good, probably a good adaptation of a children's TV show. There are some good jokes such as breaking the fourth wall, how talent shows rely on 'talent' etc. I also like the CG animation, don't expect the animation to be like Dreamworks or Pixar, they're multimillion dollar companies. Pat was in good characterisation, you think it'll be the clichéd 'fame gone to my head lost my friends' act but no it's not. Pat is still modest, polite and caring, he only entered the singing competition so he can win tickets for his wife to Italy.

The voice actors had put much effort into the characters as well, especially David Tenneat of Doctor Who fame. They've delivered great acting towards the character. As of the robots in the movie, yeah I have to admit some of it looks really creepy, pretty much Patbot 3000's smile and Jess as well. But the whole scuffle with the robots and the villain, it's very cartoony. Silly but cartoony and I love cartoony fun.

The songs are good choices too to represent the movie too, though I think they should've find a voice for Pat that sounds a bit like Steve Mangan, who provided well for Pat I have to say, rather then Ronan Keating who had done some good singing in the film. I think it's a good movie and it's focused on a mature issue such as technology and TV, well some critics think that alienates the young audience, there has been many children shows that do focus on mature issues, in the right way.

Overall it's a good movie. It has some silly cartoony moments, some good jokes, good acting etc. I personally recommend this movie.
