Robots

What we have here seems like a silly sci-fi romcom, it even works as such. But upon closer inspection you'll realize most of the jokes are aimed not at the characters on screen but rather at us, the viewers. The characters themselves are well written and well performed cartoons with single characteristic driving each of them, not with a fully developed character, they should have if they're to pass as relatable humans. Which means - what we're watching is in-fact a satire not a romcom. But since satire is often confused with comedy and comedy does sell better, it does make sense to disguise it as a silly rom-com.

Do have a closer look, you'll see the point is our never-ending quest for leisurely carefree living with as little regard as possible to anyone but us. So what would happen if we did get robots to do all our dirty jobs. What if we could build them to look exactly like us. Yes that would be illegal but when did the law stop anyone with enough money from breaching it. So this "what's if", is the starting point of this very clever movie. I won't tell you any more on the plot. Ill only mention the single major fault of this movie - a forced ending meant to suite its rom-com disguise. I'd rate it much higher without this forced end. Still, it's a fun clever movie worth your time.

A sci-fi comedy that, while not groundbreaking or original, manages to provide a mildly entertaining experience if you find yourself with nothing better to do. The film stars Jack Whitehall, who may have limited acting chops but brings endearing quality with his puppy eyes.

The story revolves around Charles (played by Jack Whitehall), a womanizer, and Elaine (Shailene Woodley), a gold digger. Their paths collide when they are unexpectedly forced to team up and pursue robot doubles of themselves. It is through this unlikely partnership that they begin to get to know each other better.

Unfortunately, "Robots" falls short in terms of originality. The concept of robot lookalikes and AI discovering their humanity has been explored in countless other films before. As a result, the storyline is predictable and lacks the element of surprise. The jokes and comedic moments are also hit-and-miss, with some landing well while others fall flat.

Despite these shortcomings, the film does have its moments. Jack Whitehall's charm and likability shine through, making his character relatable and engaging. While his acting skills may be limited, he manages to bring a level of sweetness to the role that keeps the audience rooting for him. Shailene Woodley delivers a decent performance as well, although her character has a more limited role.

Ultimately, "Robots" is a watchable movie if you're in the mood for a lighthearted sci-fi comedy and don't have high expectations. It won't leave a lasting impact or be remembered as a standout film in the genre, but it can provide some amusement for a lazy afternoon or a casual movie night. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking or particularly original, and you may find yourself mildly entertained by the end.

I had zero expectations for this movie, but it turned out to be surprisingly funny. It takes a satirical approach to our human society, highlighting our excessive dependence on technology.

There aren't any twists and turns; everything is quite predictable. Nevertheless, it provides a comforting experience, like indulging in comfort food.

The jokes were great, and there were some thought-provoking moments. The movie wraps up with a feel-good ending. Not every film needs to be a masterpiece; some are simply meant to be enjoyed. I never felt bored during its 1 hour and 33-minute runtime.

Don't be deceived by its low ratings. It's a fun movie that's even more enjoyable when watched alone or with your loved ones.

It's a mixed package of Sci-Fi, Satire, Comedy, and Romance.

Some films you want to cry, some films you want to tell a serious historic story of love, suffering or redemption. This is not one of those films, it's a fun film to relax to which will also keep you entertained.

So, robots that look like humans have replaced illegal immigrants in America. They now do all the chores such that some people even send them out to their jobs well they chill at home, and it even goes so far that this guy uses one to find dates. Of course these robots want a life of their own eventually, and try to escape. It's like a whacky tale of unexpected romance, with some amusing twists. If you like the type of 'house party' genre, you'll love this, bit actually the story is better thought out than these. It's still situational comedy, and yes the story isn't amazing, but it's there and it's well put together. The characters were fun, and I definitely recommend this to any adult (some non explicit sex scenes) who wants to relax and just see a fun (but not childish) movie.

In silly sci-fi rom-com "Robots", set 10yrs from now in New England, Jack Whitehall (terrific) & Shailene Woodley (surprisingly bright) both use illegal robot (duh) doubles to woo unsuspecting strangers - he to set up for sex, and she to fleece for $$ & gifts (while the double does the sex)... but when their two robots accidentally meet, they fall in love, which wholly threatens their masters' cushy lives (and freedom). With its snappy 'laddish' writing (from Anthony Hines & Casper Christensen (who make their debuts as co-directors here too btw)) and fresh performances (inc Paul Jurewicz in support) it may be daft and undemanding, but is still well done and certainly funny.
