In the futuristic world of Glenn, the Flying Robot, obviously robots intermingle among humans. They're domestic servants or assistants, but just like you might have seen in another robot movie, they have the potential to become dangerous.

Billy Boyd and Dominic Gould star as rival pianists who compete in the professional and personal arenas. They both love the same woman, and while fighting over her, Dominic accidentally slams the door on Billy's hand, ruining his music career. Billy finds comfort in teaching his robot how to play the piano, but it quickly gets out of hand. The second half of the movie is pretty exciting, so if you think it's off to a slow start, hang in there.

I would have missed this movie entirely had Hot Toasty Rag not been honoring Gérard Depardieu as Star of the Week. In the opening credits, he's listed as "special guest star" and he's shown for only a few minutes in the beginning and the end as a newscaster-but his voice was dubbed! If you're going to cast a famously French actor, why would you dub his voice so no one can hear his accent? If you don't want that part to be played by someone with an accent, why cast Gérard Depardieu?
