Here is My Movie Review of Robot and Frank
So basically what happiness is that you have this guy named Frank Weld and he is this former convict who used to steal stuff and one day his son Hunter Weld give them this robot to take care of them and at first he doesn't want the robot but he later on accepts it and he runs into his ex-wife Jennifer who he wants to try to fix his relationship with her and it's up to Frank Weld to turn his wife around and bond with the robot and fix his relationship and that's basically what the storyline is for this film. I have to say the storyline of this movie is really incredible and really emotional because you really feel bad for Frank Weld and you want him to get his life back on track and the film does a perfect job of telling this beautiful and emotional story.
The acting in this movie is terrific because everyone gives a really powerful and emotional performance and this is probably up there with Marvel´s Avengers as one of the best acted films of 2012.
Frank Langella Plays Frank Weld in the film and his performance is incredible because he gave the most captivating performance in the entire film as this character. Now the character of Frank Weld is incredible because you really feel bad for him because he wants to turn his life around. He wants to fix his relationship with his ex-wife Jennifer and wants the robot to take care of him and make him feel happy. The thing where Frank Weld confesses to Robot that he is getting old and dying is a really sad and very heartbreaking thing because Frank Weld doesn't have that much time to live. It is probably one of the saddest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Susan Sarandon, Lily Tyler, Peter Skarsgard, James Morrison and Is magnificent.
Susan Sarandon plays Frank Weld´s Ex-Wife Jennifer in the film. I have to say she still does a glorious job as the character because she gives a really powerful and emotional performance. Now the character of Jennifer is incredible because you can tell that she deeply cares about Frank Weld and just wants to make him happy. The scene where Jennifer meets Frank Weld at the library is not only a really powerful and really sweet moment but it makes sense because they haven't seen each other for a long time since they broke up. It is probably one of the most beautiful and sweetest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Franklin Langella Is terrific.
However the absolute biggest stand out of the entire film is Peter Skarsgard as Robot because out of all the performances he is my favorite one in the entire film because he gives one of the most emotional and most entertaining performances of the entire film. Now the character of Robot is incredible because you can tell that he really cares for Frank Weld and wants to take care of him and make him happy. The scene where Robot Tells Frank Weld turn him off and not only was it a really powerful and tragic moment but it makes sense because he didn't want the police to take him away. Is it a chance to probably one of the saddest moments of the entire film. The bonding between him and Frank Weld Is the strongest aspect of the entire film because they're bond is incredible and really fun to watch. The chemistry between him and Franklin Langella Is remarkable.
Lily Tyler plays Frank Weld´s daughter Madison Weld In the film. I have to say she still does a fantastic job as this character because she gives such an emotional and raw performance in the film. Now the character of Madison Weld is incredible because she really cares about her dad and wants him to be more independent because she wants them to take care of himself so they can spend more time together. The theme where Madison Weld tell their dad Frank Weld That he can't rely on the robot to help him all the time it's not only really powerful and Incredible moment but it makes sense because she wants him to be more independent so it doesn't need to rely on the robot's help every time he needs to do something. It is probably one of the most beautiful and heartwarming moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Franklin Langella Is exquisite.
James Marsden plays Frank Weld´s son Hunter Weld In the film. I have to say he still does a spectacular job as this character because he gives such a raw and entertaining performance in the film. Now the character of Hunter Weld Is interesting because he essentially doesn't really care about his dad Frank Weld because he didn't really spend enough time with him so the only reason why he bought robot to him is so the robot can look after him so he doesn't have to look after his own dad on his own. The scene where Hunter Weld tells his dad that he is done with him and not only was a really heartbreaking scene but it makes sense because he was sick of his dad always ignoring him and not spending any time with him. It is probably one of the most expensive moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Franklin Langella Is excellent.
However the best thing about this film is the directing by John Schreier Because what I love about his directing and that he does the glorious job of making you feel bad for Frank Weld because this is the guy that has gone through a lot of bad luck because his wife left him he want to Stop stealing things and fix his life and be happy again so he has to befriend this robot in order to help him fix all this problems. I also like how he discussed the subject of aging because Frank is also aging in this film. He is slowly dying he Is getting more sick and he doesn't have that much time Live that long. I like how he takes it really seriously because aging can also be a very sad and touching subject. I think it is terrific of how he did that.
So in conclusion I still really enjoy this film because the storyline is brilliant having it revolve around Frank trying to turn his wife around and befriending this robot to make himself feel better and fix his relationship with his ex-wife Jennifer is really amazing and really entertaining to watch because you're really feel bad for Frank and you want him to be happy again and Want him and his ex-wife Jennifer to be back together. The performances are really Astonishing The two stand out performances are from Franklin Langella as Frank Weld and Peter Skarsgard as Robot. These two have awesome and tremendous chemistry with one another. I still think this is up there with Dread with Karl Urban as one of the most underrated films of 2012. I think that this film is up there with Love Hurts with Ke Huy Quan as one of the most underrated films of all time. I also think that this film is in my top 5 favorite movies of 2012. I think more people Need to watch it because it feels like a lot of people have forgotten about the film and that's kind of disappointing because this film is really emotional and really entertaining especially if you like really emotional and entertaining films like Flow. I give this movie a 10/10.
