ROBOT AND FRANK: A Movie Review

                                Recently I watched the movie "Robot and Frank" This movie is about how a humanoid robot helps a senior citizen named Frank . The humanoid was a present to Frank from his son, Hunter. Frank at first hated the robot, but eventually overtime, Frank and the robot created a very strong relationship. The humanoid cooks for Frank, tends the garden, walks with him, and is even his personal calendar. The humanoid reminds Frank what time it is and when to wake up or to go to sleep. Frank and the humanoid eventually become great friends.
            Frank in his younger days was a jewel thief. Now with his robot friend he figured he could teach the robot how help him rob again. So Frank and the robot robbed an extremely rich and mean person, who lived in his community. The police realized that the only way to prove Frank did it, was to check the robot’s memory, because the robot helped in the theft. Realizing this, Frank, even though he hated to do such a thing, erased the robot’s memory to save himself. Even though the police had no evidence of Frank’s theft, his son took the robot away from Frank and sent him to a seniors’ center. At the end, what was so sad was that other members at the senior center had their own robots that looked exactly the same as Frank’s.
