Review of Short Circuit (1986) by Originaldanger — 11 Jul 2020
This sci-fi comedy is suitable for the whole family... Short Circuit made in 1986 stars Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg and that funny talking dude but don't know his name.. Short Circuit is basically about a robot who electrocutes himself, gets electrocuted or something and thinks he's alive, the story whatever it is seems odd and I don't even remember how he ended up with Stephanie (Ally Sheedy) but as far as I recall he ended up or landed on her vehicle roof but that's a guess as I've not seen Short Circuit in years.
A company or something called Nova are in pursuit of the missing robot but it's good family fun. Short Circuit has good acting and rather camp acting but Steve Guttenberg is always top notch. Short Circuit spawned a sequel called Short Circuit 2 but the original beats it.
It's not the best sci-fi film in it's genre and compared to Cocoon which also stars Guttenberg this is second rate but it's still decent and entertaining even if some of the characters are silly.
