Review: "Robot & Frank" (****)

Frank Langella, a robot and Liv Tyler star in "Robot & Frank"

Despite the fact that Frank Langella has been acting for nearly half a century, I only first noticed him in 2005's "Good Night and Good Luck." In 2007, Langella almost made my personal ballot for his performance in "Starting Out in the Evening." That performance was better than the film, and the same could probably be said for his Oscar nominated work in 2008's "Frost/Nixon." He mostly pops up in supporting roles, but occasionally a tailor-made lead role presents itself. "Robot & Frank" is a prime example, and Langella dominates.
