Robot & Frank-2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Jake Schreier<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #414<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"70227654\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed June 18, 2016<\/p>\n

Grade: C<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robot & Frank (2012) is one of those films where I am left with a “meh” reaction after having viewed it.<\/p>\n

It’s not that it’s a bad movie, but there’s nothing particularly special either- it is quite ordinary and rather forgettable after the credits have rolled.<\/p>\n

The premise, on paper, \u00a0seems novel: a future with robots that grow attached to humans. Unfortunately, the movie did not live up to the idea.<\/p>\n

I was hoping for an interesting 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) type robot idea (HAL) but received nothing of the kind.<\/p>\n

I’m a big fan of Frank Langella and I felt he was the main attraction in this movie.<\/p>\n

On a side note, why is Susan Sarandon suddenly playing every meaningless supporting role these days? Another wasted role. She deserves better.<\/p>\n

Several plot points had no follow-through and the ending, while not exactly predictable, was nothing spectacular.<\/p>\n

Meh.<\/p>\n
