    Not the worst thing you could watch

    It has several laugh out loud moments, like the Tesla robot immigrants line at the start which misleadingly raised my expectations really high. I was a little excited before hand, didn't know the story or expecting it to be amazing, all I knew was Jack Whitehall in a movie with Shailene Woodley; which are two people I never thought would star in a movie together as romantic lead. And from that point it's exactly how you'd expect it to go. Don't expect anything special. I am a huge fan of Shailene in pretty much everything I've seen her in, and I've watched some of Jack's standup and liked him in jungle cruise.

    It was just really cringe for the most part, and as much as I like Jack his role felt miscast, he started off as a player which wasn't believable even if you hadn't seen him in anything else; but as the movie went on he broke character and instead of acting as Charles, glimpses of the Jack's personality in real life broke through. Shailene was great and feels like her talents went wasted.

    It had a really low budget and it was very evident throughout; which is fine sometimes but is noticeable when the movie isn't great to begin with. Robots look scary and creepy, the slave ones not the clones. It was a pretty good premise but definitely could've been executed better and it would've covered up the cracks. It also feels much shorter than it actually is, which I think is a positive, rather that than the movie feel drag out.

    The characters lacked chemistry and in such a movie that would've been invaluable. It's the type of movie that needs spectacular chemistry or writing in order to pull off, otherwise it flops. I couldn't hate it though because I'm a fan of the actors but in the end, it should've been more romantic and more comedic, so that doesn't bode well for any romcom.

    Fun, a bit silly, but enjoyable

    Some films you want to cry, some films you want to tell a serious historic story of love, suffering or redemption. This is not one of those films, it's a fun film to relax to which will also keep you entertained.

    So, robots that look like humans have replaced illegal immigrants in America. They now do all the chores such that some people even send them out to their jobs well they chill at home, and it even goes so far that this guy uses one to find dates. Of course these robots want a life of their own eventually, and try to escape. It's like a whacky tale of unexpected romance, with some amusing twists. If you like the type of 'house party' genre, you'll love this, bit actually the story is better thought out than these. It's still situational comedy, and yes the story isn't amazing, but it's there and it's well put together. The characters were fun, and I definitely recommend this to any adult (some non explicit sex scenes) who wants to relax and just see a fun (but not childish) movie.

    Barely entertaining

    A sci-fi comedy that, while not groundbreaking or original, manages to provide a mildly entertaining experience if you find yourself with nothing better to do. The film stars Jack Whitehall, who may have limited acting chops but brings endearing quality with his puppy eyes.

    The story revolves around Charles (played by Jack Whitehall), a womanizer, and Elaine (Shailene Woodley), a gold digger. Their paths collide when they are unexpectedly forced to team up and pursue robot doubles of themselves. It is through this unlikely partnership that they begin to get to know each other better.

    Unfortunately, "Robots" falls short in terms of originality. The concept of robot lookalikes and AI discovering their humanity has been explored in countless other films before. As a result, the storyline is predictable and lacks the element of surprise. The jokes and comedic moments are also hit-and-miss, with some landing well while others fall flat.

    Despite these shortcomings, the film does have its moments. Jack Whitehall's charm and likability shine through, making his character relatable and engaging. While his acting skills may be limited, he manages to bring a level of sweetness to the role that keeps the audience rooting for him. Shailene Woodley delivers a decent performance as well, although her character has a more limited role.

    Ultimately, "Robots" is a watchable movie if you're in the mood for a lighthearted sci-fi comedy and don't have high expectations. It won't leave a lasting impact or be remembered as a standout film in the genre, but it can provide some amusement for a lazy afternoon or a casual movie night. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking or particularly original, and you may find yourself mildly entertained by the end.

    Silly, undemanding but well done & funny sci-fi rom-com

    In silly sci-fi rom-com "Robots", set 10yrs from now in New England, Jack Whitehall (terrific) & Shailene Woodley (surprisingly bright) both use illegal robot (duh) doubles to woo unsuspecting strangers - he to set up for sex, and she to fleece for $$ & gifts (while the double does the sex)... but when their two robots accidentally meet, they fall in love, which wholly threatens their masters' cushy lives (and freedom). With its snappy 'laddish' writing (from Anthony Hines & Casper Christensen (who make their debuts as co-directors here too btw)) and fresh performances (inc Paul Jurewicz in support) it may be daft and undemanding, but is still well done and certainly funny.

    A funny Black Mirror episode

    I had zero expectations for this movie, but it turned out to be surprisingly funny. It takes a satirical approach to our human society, highlighting our excessive dependence on technology.

    There aren't any twists and turns; everything is quite predictable. Nevertheless, it provides a comforting experience, like indulging in comfort food.

    The jokes were great, and there were some thought-provoking moments. The movie wraps up with a feel-good ending. Not every film needs to be a masterpiece; some are simply meant to be enjoyed. I never felt bored during its 1 hour and 33-minute runtime.

    Don't be deceived by its low ratings. It's a fun movie that's even more enjoyable when watched alone or with your loved ones.

    It's a mixed package of Sci-Fi, Satire, Comedy, and Romance.

      Charles and Elaine argue over who gets to sleep in the single armchair, when the house, owned by his rich stepfather, surely had a bedroom. They simply could have retrieved a mattress and put in near the fire to stay warm. Although a rich person would more than likely have a heating system for such a house.
