This is fairly slow paced and has a very simple plot. This is not a negative, in fact it works much in the films favour. There are no devious sub plots or twists and turns to get in the way of the amazing characters in this film.
The director has stuck firmly to telling the story of an old retired conn whose infirmity forces his son to employ a robot helper. There are some strong themes running through the film but they are all directly linked to the characters.
The cast does a superb job but special mention is due for Frank Langella who pulls off grumpy and likable with ease, and of course for the Robot. The production department and Peter Sarsgaard have somehow injected personality in to a featureless plastic box.
Very touching, quite slow and considered; zero action or nudity.
