Plots(1)
Robin Williams stars in a delightfully heartwarming comedy about one extraordinary android who just wants to be an ordinary guy! It doesn't take long for the Martin family to realize Andrew (Williams), who was purchased as a mere "household appliance," is no run-of-the-mill robot! Funny, incredibly lifelike, and possessing an astounding level of creativity, this special machine soon takes on a life of his own -- and eventually begins a centuries-long quest to achieve true humanity! (official distributor synopsis)

A pretty good romance, but for the money it cost, I would have expected something much better.

I liked this movie from the first time I saw it, several years ago, and nothing has changed about it even after all these years. The storyline is greatly simplified and the big leaps result in some emotional scenes not sounding as good or on the contrary, sounding too deliberate, but it's still a wonderful example of what love and human/robot stubbornness can look like. Should people be the ones deciding who is a human? Do they even have the competence for that?
