I saw this film yesterday at Vue Islington, but didn't spot any of you guys. To be fair, I did arrive just a few minutes before the film was about to start and was more worried about finding a couple of good places.

I loved this charming film too. :D 8.5/10
My bf found the pace somewhat slow (and nearly fell asleep) but I disagree with him.

Saw this at a packed Bournemouth Odeon with FMUK regular big_bad_wolf plus red riding hood, providing the quality pre-film gossip I am now accustomed to being spoiled with. What a knockout film! Moving in all the right places and never over-sentimental, I thought Frank Langella and Susan Sarandon were brilliant in their roles and Peter Saarsgard's robot oddly warm and fuzzy. The end clips of robots in action were very interesting since they are already a reality in Japan and the US.
And now we all want one!

I thought this movie was sweet, quirky, and quite funny at times (especially the two [spoiler]"do not molest me"[/spoiler] scenes, which were the highlight of the film to me) but unfortunately it also dragged slightly (despite being under 90 minutes long!) and didn't get to me on an emotional level like it did to others. 7/10

I really liked this movie, is probably one of those that I would watch with my family on a Sunday because I know that everyone will be touch by some scenes
I was actually expecting it to be a little bit more futuristic like I Robot but anyway as I still liked it as I said bfore and because it made me laught out loud at one point and also made me sad at other I give this movie a
7/10

He he. If you see a bloke who is happily mumbling that he's got his favourite seat, that's my OH.
