This is one of my favorites film ever.It's a very nostalgic film for me because I saw it a lot when I was small,even now that I'm 19,I have the video and I never get bored of it. Barret Oliver is just fantastic as Daryl,it's very sad that he stop acting because he was truly talented.Now that films are just about sex,Blood,and more sex it's good to turn to a feel good film like Daryl.I would also like to say that the title song of the film (Somewhere I belong)is very nice and the lyrics go very well with the film. My personal ratings would be 10/10

This is more than an exploration of a kid with a robot "brain", there's a subtle message here of what it's like being a kid when you're a little different than everyone else. People treat you oddly, sometimes even fearfully, inquisitively, or with rude insensitivity …so you learn to fit in by acting like everyone else (even though deep down your just like everyone else). This movie's message is about acceptance of our wunderkinds, our Asperger kids, our Autistic savants and anyone who sees the world a bit differently; underneath it all a kid is still a kid. As a somewhat inquisitive bookworm when I was young, I could relate with Daryl, as dealing with other kids was always a little awkward; still I wanted the love, friendship & commeratory just like everyone else. Not a perfect film, but a decent one with high ideals & a nice happy ending.

OK, this is a B movie. It has B actors and B content. It isn't difficult to find almost every 'early 1980s' craze in this movie...the computer craze...the secret defense experiment craze...the super military airplane craze...the children adventure/lampoon craze...of which one can find better examples, but not combined into one individual product like this. It gets B actors but it doesn't want to go farther, and thus the result is much more enjoyable than bigger budget products with bigger budget actors. In this, actors really blend together and give a 'real' feeling...even in AAA+ theater productions there may be moments viewers guess it's just make-believe. Computers? HAHA! The 1980s! The computer in Turtle's sister's room is the same I had back then! Of course now every $19.99 cellphone is likely to be more technologically advanced... Good, entertaining, mild family movie in which the sci-fi element serves as mere bait. Recommended.

Well,I believe this is one the greatest movies from the 80s.I really love the movies made during the 1980s,although I was born in late 1986.Really,80s produced many great movies,like ET,Back to the Future Trilogy,the Goonies,Inidana Jones and many other ones.You can consider Daryl to be another kid adventure movie,just like the Goonies.This movie gives me a feeling that it has something in common with the movie Artificial Intelligence.They both have a robot boy who wants to be a normal kid,right?Yeah,however,I prefer Daryl to AI,Daryl is more realistic,like that suburban lifestyle around here the USA. So if you like kids,adventure,suburban life,and you're also nostalgic and sci-fi minded,I suggest you seeing this Daryl.

I really loved this film as a kid. There was a good baseball bit and some other funny bit but I can't remember

I like this movie. It is exactly the type of movie that often makes me so irritated with the critics. I know that it is not a great movie and it doesn't pretend to be. But it is just the type of movie I enjoy watching after a difficult day at work. DARYL and his family and his neighbors are nice decent people. The villains are properly villainous. They humor is light and fun. (I especially like the part where DARYL's mom is telling her friend about all the things DARYL does, like make his bed and iron his cloths.) The ending is wonderful and hilarious. If you haven't seen it please do. It is fun and enjoyable and it is an excellent family movie.
