Aluna U @RT14704568 Sep 23, 2025 Spare Parts, based on the Wired article La Vida Robot, tells the inspiring true story of four Latino high school students who beat MIT in a national robotics competition. Though dramatized in parts, the film captures the heart of perseverance, showing that determination and teamwork can break through even the toughest barriers. Strong performances—especially from George Lopez—bring authenticity to a story that motivates young dreamers to keep pushing forward, no matter how impossible their goals may seem.

George Lopez couldn't carry a movie in a large basket. No one else was home so they stuck him in? He is a horrible actor and very unfunny. Marisa Tomei excellent as usual. John Lequezano, Jimmy Smits were unavailable? Anyone who believes this story is too gulible.

Latin movie watchers like me will love it but it’s great for anyone wanting an underdog story. Some may say it’s predictable but I didn’t think it was.
