What happens when you cross a male porn star with a down-and-out boxer from Philly and a rugged version of the robot from Short Circuit?
“Yo, Adrian! Johnny Five is Alive…in my pants!!!”
An inspired story of love, dedication and horny robots, this film documents the journey of retired boxer Phil Secks (played by Hugh Jackman), as he attempts to meet 18-year old men at small-town Automation Conferences. After falling for a lifelike humanoid (voiced by Ryan Gosling), he embarks on a journey to find his lover’s architect (Lex Steele)…and ends up learning some valuable life lessons along the way.
Real Steel starts out slow, but *SPOILER ALERT* the last half hour is full of man-on-robot sex.
The Bottom Line: A greased-up Hugh Jackman, confused teenage “mandroids” and a porno legend make this film a winner for the whole family.
Rating: 6 out of 5 Stars
