Twentieth Century Studios and Locksmith Animation's film is the story of Barney, a socially awkward middle-schooler, and Ron, his new walking, talking, digitally connected device, which is supposed to be his 'Best Friend out of the Box.' Ron's hilarious malfunctions set against the backdrop of the social media age launch them into an action-packed journey in which boy and robot come to terms with the wonderful messiness of true friendship.
"An amiable, amusing story of unlikely friendship, which is as aware of what makes people tick as it is of what makes tech troubling."--Empire Magazine
"Ron's Gone Wrong" has plenty of slapstick and potty humor for kids. But adults will also be intrigued by its frequently scathing (albeit somewhat conflicted) critique of consumerism."--Washington Post
"As family entertainment, it's fine."--New York Times
