That is just sad. This movie is laughable in many ways. The easiest is probably when Luther's hotel woman calls Ramsey a wiener head in anger. Whoa, now, this is police station! Watch your language. Then there are the 50's style "scary" robots, such as the toaster with the gun. Ramsey's home robot Lois annoys in many ways which may have been looked over if the rest of the movie wasn't a joke. Her Brady mom voice and I don't understand human as I am only a machine dialogue pains me. There are a couple of good scenes, including the last, involving Gene Simmons who could probably be asleep and still make an effective villain. Tom Selleck isn't bad, but he seems out of place. His voice can't handle shouting manly. Kirstie Alley(not fat) and Cynthia Rhodes(Dirty Dancing) mostly grate, while G.W. Biley(Police Academy) and Stan Shaw(Snake Eyes) are good in smaller roles.
