Go little robot!
Okay, if I ever have a boyfriend again, can he please be a human version of WALL-E?
I am going to be like everyone else here and admit that I am in love with this robot, a genius creation of animators who know just how to translate the little tiny movements of human body language that communicate to others so much of how we feel. It's funny that they can take those movements, apply them to creatures that don't even look too much like us, except for having vague versions of arms, shoulders, heads and eyes, and create what is really quite a romantic love story. I have to agree with the WSJ reviewer on the first 15-20 minutes, which are without words, being the best of the movie. It gets dicey when humans come in, not just because they are boneless and yucky, but because it takes you out of the entrancing world of Eve and WALL-E. Funny, they sound kind of like rappers.
Anyway, go see this movie with your BF or your BFF and learn how a real man should behave. And I don't mean the part about compacting and cleaning up all humanity's trash, although there is nothing wrong with that -- I mean the part about hooking himself onto the side of a spaceship and traveling to other worlds just to bring his main squeeze back to Earth. Now that's love.
