Review of D.A.R.Y.L. (1985) by George S — 29 Jan 2007
Great family-sci-fi tale of a little boy who discovers he is really an android. After escaping from a maximum-security research facility, D.A.R.Y.L. (Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform) is rescued and adopted by the Richardson family (Michael McKean and Mary Beth Hurt).
This movie is one of my all time favorites; it is absolutely fantastic!It is a warm, endearing, classic tale of boyhood bonds that withstand any hardships "the military is evil" look at things so popular in the 80's movies, but still, it's fun.
It does a good job of exploring what it means to be a human or a child, on a level that a 7 or 8-year old can understand.
