A sweet-natured robot called Johnny Five escapes from its lab and wanders around the big city with only curiosity to guide him. His silly inventor, an Indian man who ludicrously butchers the English language, teams up with some local retailers to re-capture his wayward creation. Meanwhile, the plucky robot is in danger of falling into the greedy hands of a businessman who wants to turn the automaton into a motorized jewel thief. (official distributor synopsis)

It's such long-winded nonsense relying on the fact that there are some characters from the previous installment - well, actually two, and one of them is Number 5. It's not very amusing, more just a bit crazy, and of course, there's a good ending. It's standard, family-friendly, and not surprising in any way. Even the nostalgia didn't help here.
