    This movie is so halirius and funny and I totally recommend it for you and your family to watch. It is about this robot who is called number 5, and he get's struck by lightning and he comes alive, so he jumps on top of this girls food truck, and he has no idea that that would change his life forever. So when the girl finds him she thinks he is an alien and he ask's for information, so he read's all the books in her house. And then the girl discovers he is a robot, so she decides to look on him and he belongs to NOVA so she calls them and try to return him, but when they try to he says that no because he is going to, "die" so they run around and in the end, the girl, her new boyfriend (The creator of 5), and number 5 (AKA: Johnny) go to Montana to spend time their, together.
