From the acclaimed director of Mrs. Doubtfire, Academy Award winner Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting) stars in a delightfully heartwarming comedy about one extraordinary android who just wants to be an ordinary guy! Though he was purchased as a mere "household appliance," it doesn't take long for the Martin family to realize Andrew (Williams) is no run-of-the-mill robot! Funny, incredibly lifelike and possessing an astounding level of creativity, this special machine soon takes on a life of his own--and eventually begins a centuries-long quest to achieve true humanity! A crowd-pleasing comedy hit--everyone is sure to love this touchingly entertaining movie treat!
