ROBOT & FRANK

Movie:  Robot & Frank
Jan's Rating:  B+
Time:  1 Hour 30 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and it was another tender, sweet story of a senior citizen.  Frank Langella plays an elderly man who lives alone and is starting to suffer from dimentia.  His daughter travels all over the world and his son lives a 3-hour drive away and feels he can't keep driving up to N. NY every weekend to check on his Dad so he buys him a robot to take care of him.  I know, it's sad, but the robot turns out to be his best friend.  Frank was a "second-story man" years ago and spent several years in prison.  Well, he hasn't lost his touch completely so he and the robot decide to pull a heist.  Don't want to tell you any more but it has a great ending.
