Robot and Frank is a touching story about a man named Frank, played by Frank Langella, and his (at first) imposed friendship with, yes, a robot. It's got a great sense of humor which functions contrapuntally against the more melancholy moments and balances out the occasional cheese. The impeccable tone that the film maintains, along with it's vast amount of charm, pushes this film above the rest.
