Review of Robots (2023) by Jluis_001 — 21 May 2023

Considering what the plot proposes, I must conscientiously admit that Jack Whitehall and Shailene Woodley share a good chemistry. Other than that, the humorous/romantic approach is insipid and essentially unfunny.

There's very little that qualifies as humorous, mostly because the actors play unsympathetic characters, and it's impossible to feel a connection with them, and by that I mean both when they play the robots and their human counterparts.

None of them have any charisma and they are even self-described as the womanizer and the gold digger, while the ''Robots'' have no personality despite the fact that their actions are what trigger all the events in this story.

All in all, this is a very poor film. I was quite surprised to see Shailene Woodley in it and not so much because I think she is a great actress but because I think this is the first role in her career where she was only interested in her salary.

Is this what the future holds for her career? As also seems to be the case with Jennifer Lawrence and the upcoming No Hard Feelings.

Food for thought.
