| Summary: A nice feel-good movie about a robot who grows human. | |
| Robin Williams delivers his annual dose of sugary sap in fine fashion, with this telling of Isaac Asimov's tale about a robot who, over a period of 200 years, becomes more and more human. Oliver Platt delivers a superb performance as the technician who uses his high science and engineering to make the robot appear more and more human. Embeth Davidtz does a fine job as the love interest, and Sam Neill is superb as the father figure. While the film is more than a bit sappy, it is nonetheless enjoyable-- there's nothing wrong with feel-good movies now and then. | |

| Summary: Profound | |
| I thought this movie had some profound statements about how we all take the people around us for granted and then one day, we out live them and try desparately not to miss them. The ending was harsh on the emotions which is a very bold thing for modern flicks. | |

| Summary: Enough already | |
| I swear to god if I have to see another movie where Robin Williams teaches me how to be a better human being, I'm going to climb up on a clock tower somewhere and wreak a terrible vengeance on mankind. | |
