Bumblebee

Use E.T. as a template. Replace E.T. with the lovable robot/car and Elliot with a teenage girl, and voila! You got yourself a toy advertisement. Hailee Steinfeld does a great job here, acting effectively on her own but pretending to care about and hug and love a CG car/robot. It can’t be easy. This movie benefits considerably by not being directed by Michael Bay, so it doesn’t have an unnecessarily macho vibe. It’s sweet, and it works for what it is. Herbie: 2018.
