Martin's 7th in A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001)
It was bad enough that young Martin contracted a rare disease and had to be cryogenically frozen until a treatment was developed and he could be returned to his family, but even worse that he was meanwhile replaced with David, a robo-child that developed a freaky Oedipo-bot thing with his mom and kept hanging around even after Martin was cured and returned home. But that was all before he was tackled by his cyborg-brother at his birthday party, knocked into a pool and nearly drowned. That's almost a fate worse than having to watch this movie.


Charlie's birthday was the worst! I always get all teary-like when he opens the Wonka bar and therein lies nothing but a crummy chocolate bar. Cheer up, Charlie...
Uh, have you seen "AI"? Haley Joel Osment's character is named David, and he is always a robot -- he was never a version of Martin, played by a different actor.
Whoa, Chet, looks like you're right. I have seen the movie, but it was a while ago. Looks like I completely misremembered the characters. Sorry about that, thanks for the catch!
