First thought when I knew the movie was cheezy.. Communication from earth to Mars would take roughly 15 minutes, but here they are talking in live time. Second, Where the heck did and how he meet this girl? They never explained that. If gardner had access to communicate with this girl how did he not have the internet of some kind to know what a horse was? He acts like a 7 year old when he comes to earth, but he was apparently super intelligent on mars as to go far as building a talking robot. Next, why is the video of his supposed parents in the film looking at each others lips romantically? When we find out that's his mother's brother. His real father is 40 years older than his mother which is kinda creepy. Next, why is this girl so attracted to him? He is weird as heck, next scene they are in bed naked together?! What?! They are 16-17!! Wrong wrong wrong. They're are many more problems I can list for this movie but I've said enough. Do Not Watch only if you want to cringe.
