A Disappointing Continuation

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I remember watching this movie when I was in late elementary school. As a kid, you could care less about acting or a dumb story - as long as the movie or show was entertaining. Mom and dad on the other hand, probably though different. I absolutely loved it because the house did all sorts of cool things.I'm now 23 years old and a filmmaker, and I remember most of the scenes in this film.The movie was made 100% for kids, and therefor they can get away with terrible acting. The acting is made for kids...very dumb down...very explanatory for a young one. An adult would consider it horrible - because it really is horrible, but a 13 year old would most likely love it. The story is interesting, but the acting can't even be rated because it's a movie for kids. However, most of these "kid movies" do have a good message behind them.

I actually do enjoy this film. The first half of it is pretty good but it gets dull and boring as it goes on. but at the same time, it is kinda cheesy and unrealistic. I know it's just a movie but seriously..a computerized house? That would be awesome but it will most likely not happen. and like some others said, I don't see how 8th grade boys still listen to N'SYNC. Also, the girl can get very, very annoying and the Sarah/Nick relationship goes a little to far for a Disney film. It's one of the better films Disney has made and the effects are pretty good but some of it is just kinda odd.Overall, this film is pretty good. I enjoyed it but like I said, it gets boring as it goes on.

This Disney Channel original movie stars Ryan Merriman as Ben Cooper, Kevin Kilner as the father Nick Cooper, Kate Volding as Angie Cooper, and Katey Sagal as 'Pat'.When hearing about a contest to win a highly technical and futuristic house for free, Ben enters it, hoping it will help his Dad and his sister Angie and him have an easier and more convenient life. When he wins, the house is everything he's ever dreamed of, but things go astray when 'Pat' the 'smart house' takes things a little too far.With great graphics and tech effects, 'Smart House' is one of the most enjoyable Disney Channel films next to Johnny Tsunami, Now You See It, Luck of the Irish, and the Zenon trilogy.

this is one of those movies that are flimsy story lines sandwiched together by incredibly unrealistic features, stereotypes, and just stupidity. Lets start at the beginning- #1 flimsy storyline. The story is that there's this fat "athletic" loser with ugly spiked hair who never spends time with his friends (only two are shown the entire movie-what a social animal) so he can do everything a mom would normally do because she's dead and he doesn't want his dad to think that they need a mom. He then decides that having a multi-billion dollar computer house would be perfect so he won't have to do so much work. Great reasoning, huh? But the house starts screwing up and begins like sexually harassing the dad. #2- unrealistic features. so there's this multi billion dollar house that a bunch of scientists just decide to give away to a random teenager. okay... Then, the house can do anything. it can make smoothies out of ingredients that the characters never even buy. then it shows where the smoothie ingredients are kept and there's hundreds of oranges in the kitchen island!!!! # 3-sterotypes. the school bully is a tall fat kid who makes kids do whatever he wants. in my life, all the bullies are short losers who
