Review of Short Circuit (1986) by Paul Attanasio for Washington Post — 08 Aug 2009
Having succeeded at a persuasive, endearing anthropomorphosis, the film makers have come up with only a so-so picture to go with it. All that was really needed to make Short Circuit a more satisfying experience was to up the script a couple of notches and apply a lighter touch to it.
Unfortunately, director John Badham and his fledgling writers have taken a very broad, heavy-handed approach.
