Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
John Badham's Pinocchio story is sweet, silly and now charmingly old-fashioned.

No movie with Austin Pendleton can be all bad, but this one makes a game try.

Christian Science Monitor
Number Five is the real star of this energetic film. Sheedy, Guttenberg and company are just supporting players.

Rating: 1/4 --
The film has nowhere to go except to give us a predictable initial confrontation between Guttenberg and Sheedy over military weapons.

Chicago Tribune
In the spectrum of "Mac and Me," and "E.T.," its right there smack dab in the middle with "Batteries Not Included."

Product Description:
When a laser-armed Department of Defense robot named Number 5 gets zapped by a lightning bolt, he "malfunctions" and starts spouting peace slogans and developing a human-like consciousness. Naturally, the newly pacifist machine wants out of the military and escapes. As a frantic search for the creature begins, Number 5 settles down in his new home, with a gentle young woman named Stephanie (Ally Sheedy), who has every intention of holding on to her find, teaching Number 5 about popular culture and other mysteries of life. Thoroughly convinced that the robot is alive, she develops a strong bond with the creature. In order to prevent his capture by the military--who view Number 5 as an armed-and-dangerous weapon--the pair must convince his inventor, a reclusive scientist named Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg), that he is truly alive and more than just a metal machine. The highly innovative robot created for director John Badham's film brings to mind other lovable science fiction icons such as E.T. and R2D2 from STAR WARS.
