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 film the first time I saw it a few years ago, and nothing has changed even after all these years. The story is greatly simplified, and the large leaps result in some emotional scenes not resonating as well or coming across as too forced. However, it remains a beautiful example of what love and human/robotic determination can look like. People get to decide who a person is. Do they even have the competence to do that?
