Robot & Frank (2012)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 89m
Director: Jake Schreier
Cast: Frank Langella, Peter Sarsgaard (voice of Robot), Susan Sarandon, Liv Tyler, James Marsden
Synopsis:
In a not too distant future, a former cat burglar with Alzheimer's is a cause of anxiety to his grown-up son, who buys him a robotic majordomo to keep house and watch his diet. However, he is soon up to his old tricks again.
Review:
Bittersweet tale of one curmudgeonly SOB who miraculously turns into a human being thanks to making friends with a robot. It succeeds because it does not take itself too seriously and mostly goes for laughs, though the more poignant scenes are nicely handled by Langella and the rest of the cast.
