Robots

Robots follows a self confident con artist and a wittier gold digger who turn dating into a scam by using illegal robot doubles to lure people into fake relationships. The duo beds people and pockets their money, playing on envy and fantasy. But the scheme backfires when they decide to test it on each other, and the programmable lovers develop real feelings. The robot doubles fall in love and slip away together, leaving their creators in a scramble to cover tracks and locate the missing droids before the authorities catch on. As they chase their copies across misunderstandings and farce, the pair must reckon with why they chase connection through deception and whether love can survive when reality is faked.

Directed by Casper Christensen and Anthony Hines, Robots arrives as original concept not tied to any adaptation. Starring Shailene Woodley as Elaine, Jack Whitehall as Charles, Paul Rust as Zach, Nick Rutherford as Ted Jr, and Paul Jurewicz as Ashley.

Box office details are not provided here, and any figures would be speculative. The film appears tailored for a niche crowd seeking a breezy mix of humor and heart rather than a high grossing blockbuster and casual sci fi watchers.

Reception is mixed, marked by a 5.6 out of 10 vote average from 241 votes. The movie toys with questions of authenticity, consent, and longing in a world where technology can imitate human connection, and it uses fantasy and romance to soften the satire. It carries playfulness yet weighs consequences.

Awards are not listed for this title, and there are no major nominations on record. The lighthearted approach and performances by Woodley Whitehall and company might attract future recognition in niche categories or festival circuits, though the film is unlikely to snag broad accolades. Word of mouth could boost it.
