After watching this movie...
I want a robot, too!
What a charming and funny flick. The interaction between Frank Langella and the robot was great and I loved the retro design of the robots. It's also incredibly sad, although I loved the little "twist" at the end.
In these kinds of movies, I'm always on the side of the thief. The multimillionaire guy (Jake) was a jerk, and I'm glad his house got burgled. But the movie is just so damn sad; for an Alzheimer's patient, the ending can only be tragic. The fact that Susan Sarandon was his wife and he couldn't remember is heartbreaking. I like the little 'comeuppance' that Frank really does remember about the jewels and where they were hidden, and the fact that he has to sacrifice everything (his friendship with the robot and his whole life, basically) in order to do something good for his family (who already seemed well off, for the most part). It's the intention that matters though, and I thought it was a fitting end, however sad it may be.
