    Doesn't exactly hold up.
    I have to admit, it's been so long since I've seen this movie, I don't know how accurate of a rating I can give this; however, based on what I remember, it was pretty bad. Even at like that p or 11, I thought it was cheesy.

    Although, it didn't dawn on me until just now (after being reminded the movie existed) that the thought of a single, older man building a young teenage android has some deeper questions that need to be asked, lol. 🤔
