Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
The film tries to say something coherent about important issues such as the descending darkness of old age but misses the mark with most of them.

Langella brings the film a gruff magic... -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
I know what you're thinking: you couldn't drag me to see a buddy movie about some batty old guy and his robot butler. But Robot & Frank is far better than it has any right to be.

Charming, playful and sly, it makes us believe that a serene automaton and a snappish human being can be best friends forever.

Product Description:
An aging thief with a fading memory finds his love for larceny reinvigorated after receiving a companion robot from his concerned son in this tender sci-fi comedy-drama starring Academy Award nominee Frank Langella. Frank (Langella) is a former criminal living out his twilight years in quiet solitude. Though frequent trips to the local library keep him physically active and mentally stimulated, there's little question that his memory isn't what it used to be, and lately his grown children have begun to express concern over the fact that he lives alone. Bestowed a caretaker robot capable of offering engaging interaction and tending to basic household chores, Frank at first resents his android helper. But in time he lets his guard down and begins to actually enjoy the companionship of his new domestic partner. Later, when the future of the local library is threatened, Frank falls back into his old ways and discovers that his robot also doubles as a competent criminal sidekick.
