Good flick. But why "Bicentennial Man"? It was taken directly from "I,
Robot", while the movie by that name had NOTHING to do with the original
story!

I rather liked it.... it wasn't quite the story of Andy but aside from the
title it was fairly close to Asimov's original intentions in the stories it
was adapted from, and that's a lot.

If you are an Asimov fan, there is a half-hour adaptation of "The Ugly Little
Boy" that was done by PBS in the early seventies and actually is one of the
best adaptations around in my opinion.

The Betty Page film was not too bad, but Joe Bob would definitely give it
the thumbs down for showing a lot less than it promised....
