Goofy and Predictable
More the premise of a kids movie, than an adult rated one.

Error: System Failure
An actor trying too hard to be like Jonah Hill and his dork friend find themselves in possession of a $500,000 pleasure bot that escaped the transportation of being delivered to it's new owner, whom is a senator. He sends his goons out to find her and track her down. The boys find themselves mixed up a bunch of stuff with the goons and a guy who works in an adult toy store.Sound pretty thin so far? It is. What seems like it could almost be a plot for Weird Science II or a sequel to National Lampoons Repli-Kate, it fails miserably by not delivering a good enough story, too many confusing moments that make no sense, too much of a push to try and make something funny that falls flat, and a pretty bad choice of lead actors. I guess whomever wrote the script had Jonah Hill in mind, but what they got was someone painful to watch as he impersonated him badly. The other "Drama" and "Love" stories of the film are pretty bad and unbelievable. You just don't care about the characters.Even during the end credits I have not seen such fake out-takes since Mr Accident. Nothing they goof up was at all funny to the viewing audience. One particular scene showed the real side of the lead actress playing the Bardot robot, and she seemed pretty arrogant and pig headed and really not wanting to be in the same room as the two poorly cast leading boys.You might know a few names and faces here, but none of them add any value to the film. Everyone was miscast and misplaced, so I don't recommend checking it out even if you where someone who couldn't get enough of Scrubs, That 70's Show, Anthony Whats-his-name and that bald guy no one knows the name of.If you have not seen Weird Science, Repli-kate, Short Circuit or even Terminator... don't watch this one, start with the good ones, and then avoid watching this one even if curiosity gets the better of you. It has minor chuckles at the start, but becomes boring and eye rolling by the middle and you wanna punch the main guys in the face by the end and tell them to never try to act ever again.

Ironic Sex Comedy
The reviews on here and IMDB aren't even close to fair. This movie is hilarious. I wouldn't call it a raunchy comedy but more of a satirical raunch com. It encapsulates gamer humor and nerd culture better than most movies today. (The sex bot finding Jesus slayed me.) It also shows blended and mixed race families in a good light - Turkleton is also a pretty great dad and it's good to see Black dads on TV.Obviously this isn't a movie for kids, but if you liked American Pie and movies so bad they're good again, this one is for you.
F**E
Even Angela Kinsey can't save this wretched script
I hate to give 1 star to a movie with mostly decent actors and a respected director, but Hot Bot is mostly excruciating to sit through.PROs✔ Oh how the mighty have fallen: Angela Kinsey, who most Americans would probably recognize as "Angela" from The Office, steals the show when she is onscreen in Hot Bot (which isn't often enough to make the flick worth watching). Most of the cast is well-picked, but when you put poop (the script) into a fancy $400 food processor (the actors), it still comes out as poop.✔ For what it's worth, I'd never seen somebody chainsaw their way out of a car trunk...✔ Blade Runner reference. One brief scene spoofs the 1982 sci-fi classic... cue Vangelis-like music, and a neo-noir setting... Benny: "I'm going to ask you a series of questions. Just relax, and answer them as simply as you can." Bardot: "Do you mind if I smoke?" Benny: "It won't effect the test."CONs✘ Oh jeez, where to begin? Let's start with the script: it's so godawful in most spots that after the first few minutes you stop cringing and just become exhausted from the soul-crushing banality, tediousness, and [insert here whatever the term is for "opposite of funny"].✘ You could be forgiven for assuming Hot Bot is written for adolescent boys, but as it turns out, that's an insult to most non-autistic boys ages 12 and older. It was written for teens of three decades years ago, and this is problematic for at least a couple of reasons, chief among them: we are not living in 1986! Perhaps the social demographic for this would be "teen sex comedy" is 18-year-old young men who've very recently had the opportunity to break away from strict religious communities they were raised in and haven't yet seen movies featuring extremely foul-mouthed youths and an overabundance of inane sex talk.Pro or Con (it depends on why you're watching): Bardot is played by Cynthia Kirchner, who isn't actually an actress -- but she isn't not hot either.I realize I've listed more Pros than Cons above, it's just the Cons are so pronounced that it tips the scales irrevocably.I'll include the most humorous exchange below, which will save you from having to watch Hot Bot:Upon walking into a room, mother Candy Huffington (Angela Kinsey) sees her son Limus with Bardot.Candy: "Oh, you have company. Who do we have here? Does your friend have a name?"Limus: "....No..." [stated almost like a question]Candy: "That's a very exotic name! Is it Chinese? What does No mean?"Bardot: "No means no."Candy: "I like you already! Limus, do you understand our rule about having girls in your room?"Limus: "Mom, please, you're being a cock block."You can guess how Candy reacts to this, and to make matters worse, Bardot explains in very technical terms what cock block means. As mentioned before, Angela Kinsey is the one bright spot in Hot Bot, but ultimately only a tease as to what could have been.
