This movie brings up some fascinating ideas that really make you think.
Unfortunately, there are certain logical fallacies that ruin the entire film.
Specifically:
*** SPOILER ALERT ***
1) During all of the months that he was their servant, Henry had to have peed and pooped every day! Surely James and what's-her-name would have noticed this at least one time? 2) When did Henry eat? 3) Surely Henry must, at some point, have coughed, or sweated, or sneezed, or gotten sick, or cut himself, or been allergic to something.
The movie would have been a lot more "believable" if they had foregone the "plot twist" and just let Henryt be a "real" robot. It's impossible to take any of it seriously because of things like what I mentioned above. I wish I'd not watched the last 20 minutes.
And yes, the wife has to be one of the most annoying characters ever conceived. She was so irritating that I've already blocked her name from my memory, and I just saw the film 2 days ago.
