    Over-hyped, badly directed and totally miscast. That aside, it's still a fairly entertaining film. Given to a better director and it could have been amazing!

    I enjoyed this a lot more than some people did, though I do not remember it very well because I saw it several years ago. It has an interesting premise and says something about the value of life, and what it means to be human.

    This is a sweet movie in the same vein as 'A.I' and 'Short Circuit', a family robot is unique as he starts to feel and think like a human. Throughout the movie he tries to become more human, win his freedom and get recognition as a human. Great cast.

    I saw this on a flight to Australia; I think it was still running when we got there. It's slower than evolution and sentimental enough to make you wince.

    A very nice and meaningful film.

    Only Robin Williams could have been cast for this amazing role, in a story about the life and experiences of a robot seeking to become human.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

It's one thing to ask an audience to love a mechanical man, but quite another to love a mechanical performance. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A cornball drone of greeting-card sentiment. full review
