Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Frank's son chooses a different option: against the old man's wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and somewhat heartbreaking story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places. -- (C) Samuel Goldwyn PG-13If You Like this movie you can streaming Robot & Frank movie without downloading HERE

Review For Robot & Frank
Ultimately, it feels as though the filmmakers have settled for the soft option one too many times, and the result is a pleasant but unmemorable watch.Tom Huddleston-Time Out
"Robot & Frank" hits all the right notes - romantic, fantastic, tragic and sweet.
Tom Long-Detroit News
There's a warm and poignant interplay between the co-stars.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Langella ... is tremendous.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
It may not seem like an even playing field pitting an actor as powerfully intense as Frank Langella opposite a robot, but that's the game plan behind the waywardly endearing, slightly futuristic fantasy Robot & Frank.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Much of Robot & Frank is (frankly) resistible, including the climactic narrative twist, but there is also a likeable oddness that transcends the sentimental contrivance.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
While the premise certainly makes it stand out from the sea of dysfunctional family dramas, a cute idea alone doesn't quite cut it.
Cory Everett-The Playlist
A slightly futuristic treatise on aging, family and the pitfalls of mechanical screenwriting.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger
Christopher D. Ford's seamless screenplay provides a light-comedy vehicle that Langella rides to a satisfyingly original, epiphanic finale.
Matt Kelemen-Las Vegas CityLife
The robot gives an ironic twist to Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics", and the movie is highly enjoyably for three quarters of the way.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Explores in subtle and heartbreaking ways how memory becomes a defining part of who were are and where we're going.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
Often moving and deeply personal, Robot & Frank is a rewarding - if often underdeveloped - antidote to the plethora of loud and overblown movies that tackle the theme of technology's role in our futures
Ben Rawson-Jones-Digital Spy
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.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
A warm drama that drifts into light, goofy comedy, this film is too slight to be a classic, but its subtly sharp-edged script holds our interest and gives the cast something to work with.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
A small but perfectly formed tale with plenty to say about the nature of friendship.
Richard Edwards-SFX Magazine
The pair's low-key crime spree provides some gentle suspense, but it's the developing friendship between the grouchy ex-thief and the robot that will beguile viewers most.
Jason Best-Movie Talk
Despite the amusing premise this isn't funny, moving or eventful enough to merit a trip to the cinema.
Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
Robot & Frank does not quite deliver a killer punch, but it's an engaging, humane fantasy.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
Frank Langella forms an engaging double act with a piece of moulded metal alloy in Robot & Frank.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Here's a film with a premise that could have played horrendously in the wrong hands.
David Gritten-Daily Telegraph
A fairly cheap trick towards the denouement aside, this is cutely observed, thoughtful work.
Chris Fyvie-The Skinny
Robot and Frank were electric. The rest? Sheepish.
Sophie Monks Kaufman-Little White Lies
Enjoyable, well written and superbly acted comedy drama that cleverly blends buddy movies, Sci-Fi flicks and caper pictures into an emotionally engaging film about old age.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
Frank Langella subtly provides the heart and soul as the crafty Frank, a game retiree whose disreputable inclinations take the story in a pleasingly unsentimental direction - think Wall-e meets The Thomas Crown Affair.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies
Frank Langella plays former cat burglar Frank and the 75-year-old actor holds the entire film together with his screen integrity.
Graham Young-Birmingham Post
An ageing Frank Langella and a disembodied Peter Sarsgaard make for an unexpectedly dynamic double act in this refreshingly unsentimental geriatric drama. Robust and frank.
Charlie Lyne-Film4
TagLine Robot & Frank Friendship doesn't have an off switch
