Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Frank's son chooses a different option: against the old man's wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and heartwarming story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places. Robot & Frank features an award winning cast including Academy Award® nominee Frank Langella, James Marsden, Liv Tyler and Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon. (official distributor synopsis)

English After a long time, I got to see a movie where I heard the Czech word “robot” pretty often. Plus, the story is nice and fresh. Frank isn’t really a character you’d like, but it’s not a character that’s necessarily bad. Towards the end, I got much closer to him and I even experienced some emotion. Maybe even more emotion than the robot who became Frank’s buddy for an hour and a half. A small, but a very pleasant movie. ()

English We have an old man and modern age here. The film "Robot and Frank" is a sci-fi film, so the reality is slightly shifted into the future, and there are gadgets here that are even better than what we encounter at present. However, the premise of the film is clear. The old man has to deal with the fact that machines are increasingly entering our lives. No, don't worry, you don't have to expect something like an aging warrior fighting against killer machines, that may be in the movie "Terminator 5", but definitely don't expect an ordinary family film with a beautiful robot and a bunch of laughter.
