Review Summary

In this disappointing sci-fi drama, Robin Williams plays a robot who wants to become a human. This film has nothing special, and just drags along.
Estefan Ellison, Resident Scholar

Andrew is a robot purchased to do household tasks. Soon the family he belongs to notices that Andrew posses attributes not normal for a robot. As Andrew grows he searches for his place in life, and strives to become more human.
In the end Adrew gets his wish and becomes human. His humanity is juztaposed next a noemal human in a very powerfull scene showing how very unhuman we have become.
