5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I lived in a house like this!, March 16, 2002

This review is from: Smart House [VHS] (VHS Tape)

SMART HOUSE is a great Disney Channel Original Movie. It is about a thirteen-year-old kid, Ben Cooper (Ryan Merriman) who lives with his single father and younger sister. Ben is sort of a computer brain--he's not a genius, but he goes nuts over computerized stuff. He tries to keep the family well-organized and on track so his father won't start dating other women and make them apart of their family, he thinks they don't need a new mother since their mother died. Anyway, Ben is always entering contests...hoping that someday, he'll win one of the contests and it will help make his family better. Ben enters a contest which the winner receives a brand-new house that is totally computerized--nobody has to do anything, there is a computer that does it all for them. Ben surprisingly wins this contest, and he and his family moves into it. Sarah Barnes (Jessica Steen) is the woman who created this house invention. And when Ben's father starts dating her, Ben gets upset because he thinks that his father will marry Sarah and Ben doesn't want a new mom. Then, when the computerized home, which has a voice called P.A.T. (Katey Sagal), gets out of control, P.A.T. turns into the form of a woman who claims to be the Ben and his sister's mother and tries to take over the house and the family! Ben, his father, his sister, and Sarah Barnes must stop P.A.T. from ruining the house and the Coopers.

This was a very fun movie, and LeVar Burton from "Star Track" fame directs it. Though kind of unrealistic, but who really cares? The acting is great, especially from Ryan Merriman and Katey Sagal. There are lots of great special effects in this movie, and the dialouge is really good. I liked SMART HOUSE a lot and all Disney Channel Original Movies fan should own this one!

I love Disney Channel Original Movies! They are a gret source of entertainment! This is the story of Ben Cooper Whos mom is dead. So he does all the house hold chores. He wins a "Smart House" that does it all for him so that he can do fun stuff with friends! But when he tries to give the house motherly characteristics, his plan backfires and the house creates a digital image of a woman known as PAT. PAT puts the family under house arrest and it's up to Sarah, the houses creater and Ben's dad's love intrest, to save them! This movie teaches kids to be open to new ideas! I recomend that you rent it today!
