Editorial Reviews
Chris Columbus harnessed Robin Williams's manic energy and channeled it into his gender-twisting performance in Mrs. Doubtfire. The duo reteams for Bicentennial Man, this time turning Williams into a robot rather than an elderly woman. Based on a short story by Isaac Asimov, the film follows Andrew (Williams), a 200-year-old "domestic android" (think of him as a RoboMaid) who, to the surprise of his owners, begins emoting and thinking for himself. When Williams falls in love with Portia (Embeth Davitz), a technician (Oliver Platt) helps him begin the delicate process of looking -- and perhaps becoming -- human. Williams is typically hyperactive, almost bursting out of the screen with his trademark zaniness, but he also reins in his energy at times, displaying his ability to balance laugh-out-loud humor with startling pathos. But maybe the true star of Bicentennial Man is Greg Cannom: He received a well-deserved Academy Award nomination for the stunning makeup work that made Williams's transformation from robot to man believable.
