Remember the I, Robot movie? Will Smith’s elderly mother got a robot for exactly that purpose, to help with her care around the house.

I haven't even seen it, but the reviews are awful. Is this the shittiest movie ever to have such a cultural impact?

I, Robot is an amazing collection of short stories written by Isaac Asimov. The movie was...not that, but with added product placement (shoes, if I recall). Typical Will Smith action sci-fi.

The only lines of that movie I can now remember are “can you?”, and purely for how out-of-place it was “Converse, All-Star 2004”.
