It's a really great, wonderful, heart touching movie. Great Acting, directing, make up effects, Screenplay, a perfect movie, one of the best and one of my all time favorite movies.

I agree as well... Love this film.

And now for something completely different...

Not a masterpiece but very underrated - So many are quick to trash it for being to sappy but it is supposed to be sentimental, almost Spielberg like in its child like wonder of a robot discovering the world. It seems long but it is a perfect 2 hour film to the minute.

This is such a beautiful movie. It astounds me that it wasn't better received.

I agree that this film is vastly underrated and badly misrepresented by its ads. If it had been shown as more of a drama than as a comedy, I feel it would have fared much better at the box office than what it ended up with.

I remember coming on here a few years ago after buying the dvd and being surprised to see all the negative comments people were making. It's much more than just your run of the mill family movie. I think history will judge this movie better and come time people will maybe look back at it as being a classic.

I liked the film too. Shame it didn't do well at the box office

Most people I know, even Robin Williams fans, have never even heard of this. It just slipped through the cracks. Honestly, it's so great and so brilliant, I think this cruel evil world just doesn't even see it. Doesn't know it's even there.

And surprisingly, no Blu ray release to date.

This is one of my favorite films and so touching I can't really watch it.

It is a great comment about appreciating life.

The robot represents a lot of people who struggle to keep human life going such as real doctors, inventors, and humanitarians.

I love it.
