Robot & Frank

Starring: Langella, Frank and Tyler, LIV

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 somewhat heartbreaking story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places.

Customer Reviews

Fun with Frank and Robot.

Frank (Frank Langella) is in his golden years and a tad forgetful. To help him manage day to day, his son gives him a robot. For therapy, the robot suggests that Frank get a hobby. Well, Frank finds one to suit his skills and finds the robot is a fast learner. Things may have gotten a little out of hand. On the side, the robot does a little gardening. On the side, Frank is making contact with Jennifer (Susan Sarandon), the local librarian. Every time I see Susan Sarandon, all I can think of is “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975). Oh, and Frank Langella in “Dracula” (1979). “Robot & Frank” is a cute movie and worth re-watching.
