Review: The feel-good story “Spare Parts”
— AN sacred loser drama concerning four unsupported migrant youngsters from a
Phoenix highschool World Health Organization go toe-to-toe against a team of
university whiz youngsters in AN underwater AI contest — is simply concerning
as cornball and sappy because it sounds. It’s conjointly pretty darn thrilling.
And — oh, by the method — it’s conjointly just about true.
Loosely galvanized by the 2005 Wired article “La Vida
golem,” “Spare Parts” stars comedian martyr Lopez because the instructor World
Health Organization coaches and mentors the anomaly AI club profiled within the
article. Lopez, World Health Organizationse character may be a fictionalized
amalgam of the 2 academics who really oversaw the sudden performance of a golem
jerry-rigged from plumbing provides and pool noodles, is one among the largest
names within the film. Jamie Lee Curtis, because the goose pedagogue, provides
comic relief, with Marisa Tomei transfer barely of sophistication as Lopez’s
love interest.
But it's the four young actors World Health Organization
play the scholars World Health Organization really shine, and World Health
Organization elevate the conventional film on top of and on the far side its
acquainted proceedings. Michael Assat PenaVega plays the team’s square-jawed
good person and psychological feature leader, Oscar. David Del Rio plays sweet
back scientific discipline swot Cristian. José Julián is that the law-bending
grease-monkey Lorenzo. And accolade Gutierrez is light big Luis, the club’s
muscle.
But despite sounding like pages out of the catalogue of
casting cliches, these four elements square measure written in such the
simplest way (by Elissa Matsueda, adapting Joshua Davis’s article) that they
feel as real as their inspirations. (A documentary on an equivalent subject,
“Underwater Dreams,” is offered on Amazon Instant.) It conjointly helps that
the acting ensemble brings monumental sensitivity and attractiveness to the
roles, ultimately dominant any reservations you will have concerning the cheese
content of the film.
Lopez, for his half, is also amazingly sensible, during a
role that imply his character to try to to quite teach concerning servo motors.
Taking his name from real-life academics Fredi Lajvardi and Allan Cameron,
Lopez’s Fredi Cameron offers a lot of to his four teen charges than steering —
together with, in Lorenzo’s and Cristian’s case, surrogate fathering. Lopez
sidesteps each clownishness and bathos, transfer AN applicable
straightforwardness to a section that's basically a supporting role. just like
the character of Fredi, World Health Organization cannot offer outside
facilitate within the boys’ robot-building effort, the actor sublimates his own
ego within the service of the larger story, that is concerning the four boys,
not their supervisor.
The theme of immigration reform plays a section within the
film further. The threat of deportation looms giant over the heads of those
adolescents, particularly accolade, World Health Organization dreams of serving
within the U.S. military.
Without giving an excessive amount of away — and for reasons
that don't have anything to try to to with whether or not they win or lose the
competition — the characters in “Spare Parts” all undergo changes that square
measure faithful several immigrants’ emphatically mixed experiences within the
yank melting pot.
