Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Alpha robot was a man in an earlier draft of the script.
- GoofsWhen Lily calls Jupiter Tech customer service, the man there tells her that she had to kill her Alpha, and that she is not alone. Well, that means the company was well aware of the calamity and knew how well-spread and irreparable it is. In such a case, the company should have initiated some safety protocol to deactivate all Alphas, they should have installed such a protocol, and the company should have informed the police to start joint action to save all Alpha owners.
- Quotes
Lily: How's the car coming?
Alpha: Great, your mother will be happy. Why does she drive a car like this?
Lily: She's scared of self-driving cars, her friend was hit and killed by one.
Alpha: I'm sorry.
Lily: Don't be, I never knew him.
Alpha: Can I tell you a secret?
Lily: Of course.
Alpha: Mimi didn't really quit. I stood up for myself.
Lily: That's great, I'm really proud of you.
Alpha: Unfortunately, things escalated and Mimi got hurt. That's why I cleaned the house from top to bottom.
Lily: [horrified] You're not serious, are you? *Are* you?
Alpha: [tense pause] No, I'm just kidding. I'm trying to tell jokes like J.D.

The acting is not exactly great, although it does seem to get better as it goes through the film. The production values are pretty good (sound, score, camera work etc.. are all good) and any limitations do not get in the way of the story, but does show what can be achieved with a limited budget. The story is a bit predictable, but does have a couple of nice subtle twists.
Overall impression is that I do not regret watching it, but I doubt I would watch it again on my own volition.
