This movie has a certain tone and ring to it. It carries the mood through out the story really well. I felt the longing and the pure boredom of being old and forgetful. And I got excited with the possibilities of Frank's robot. It is really well made. If you liked... Safety Not Guaranteed, you'll like this too.. this one's a bit slower. It'll serve you well if you are having a slow pondering day.

If you do not expect to much of this movie - its gonna be okay and worth watching it.

The plot is set in the near future: A man is getting Alzheimer, his son/daughter send him a robot to help him. The old man was into some crime stuff when he was younger.... and now he got a new toy to play with :D
That's all without to spoiler too much.

They are really some funny scenes in it, but I like it more because of the possibility that using a robot in this way might be the future. Think about it: Its already possible to have cleaning-helps at your home. Vaccuum Cleaner are already on the market, and another one who's wiping your floor. (I got both by the way^^). Not to mention expensive toys like the Aibo from Sony. So lets see how this continues.

But if you expect many action scenes in this movie like iRobot: nope! And thats okay with that movie.
If you want to chill out on your couch after a sunny day: that movie would make it. And you might get some laughs out of it.

I give it a "Fair" so - 6 / 10 points.

A sweet little movie. :)

Highly overrated.

A Hart warming Dark Comedy.
