    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 barely remember this film - probably should rewatch it...but does it even deserve that? Dilemma
  • March 2, 2008
    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 am not quite sure why this film was so often disliked by the critics. It is a bit overlong, and it does have some slow stretches, but otherwise I thought is was warm and wonderful. Good score, imaginative, and Robin Williams is great.

    An excellent movie about what it means to be 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
