Making Mr. Right

1987 · 98 min

A quirky, gentle romantic comedy that charms with its odd premise and the tender contrast between an awkward scientist and his softer robot double.

Overview: When image consultant Frankie Stone is hired by a tech company to teach a scientist’s “Ulysses Robot” how to be a man, she winds up developing very real feelings for the faux human.
How it feels: Whimsical, warm, satirical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, identity, isolation, loneliness
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
