Very French and very funny film that even manages to give beautiful reflections on life and humanity with an ironic and negativist look at the technology of the future. The plot is very nice and the film is very good even if shot in one place, all the characters are characterized very well and the robots are also very well done.

Plot summary
In 2050, artificial intelligence is everywhere. So much so that humanity relies on it to satisfy its every need and every desire even the most secret and wicked. In a quiet residential area, four domestic robots suddenly decide to take their masters hostage in their own home. Locked together, a not-quite-so-blended family, an intrusive neighbour and her enterprising sex-robot are now forced to put up with each other in an increasingly hysterical atmosphere. While, outside, the Yonyx, the latest generation of androids, are trying to take over. As the threat draws closer, the humans look elsewhere, get jealous, and rip into each other under the bewildered eyes of their indoor robots. Maybe it's the robots who've got a soul or not.

Not sure how this got funded.
One of the worst films I've seen as of late.
Just to get it out of the way, I don't mind subtitles at all - I watch a ton of shows in various languages (some of my favourite shows are in german, spanish, and korean) and I always have subtitles on even for english films. So that's not a problem.
What is a problem is the horrible acting, the awful story, characters that make no sense, and an extremely drab setting. It looks like the "future" someone would have imagined in the 70s. There is also nothing original about this film. There's been better films that talk about our reliance on technology and the potential perilous results of such that were done decades ago. (iRobot, for example)
There isn't anything good about this film. Don't waste your time on it.

Started out really well
I was very hopeful when this movie started but as it got further along it never really took off. There doesn't ever seem to be a real point to this movie. The goal of getting out of the house is limited and does not occupy the movie enough. The movie seems to be all over the place with no real direction. There is all the flirting with no conclusion and it does not keep attention for the movie to be worth watching. The robots "taking over" is also a weak theme in the show and not captivating enough to make the movie worth while.
First Switch the Audio to French Language (Original) Then caption to English, For some reason the emotional French language is so very different from the English language and you can see for your self, after every breath, smile, emotional sarcasm or even a look it just so different than the English Audio. Now the 10 Stars goes to where they spent so much money into creating the technology, the illusion of technology, and the ideas of how our future might be if Artificial intelligence takes over this is how it would be. The people that give this a 6 to 1 star rating are in denial, are in fear of Artificial Intelligence and feel that this will never happen to them! This movie is a possible future of how Artificial Intelligence can take over if it was given complete control over everything. I like how the girl in this movie mentioned to the teenage boy "Leo" Played by Helie Thonnat, He is asked specific personal hygiene questions that matches a specific figure in history and the Teenage Girl Nina Barelli played by Marysole Fertard says to Leo your exactly like "HITLER" The boy just shrugs and has no idea who Hitler is because schools don't teach about World War 2 anymore in the future and have forgotten the past wars. In there future the Monuments have been taken down and nothing from the past no longer exist unless your looking for it in a museum. I really enjoyed this movie because this is exactly what I warned my son about if he doesn't hold on to our history if not his generation is going to repeat our mistakes. If not his generation his children or grandchildren's generation. Now why is this important to me? I am not going to be alive! Well I would like to think everything I am doing today would be remembered some how and I am doing all of this for some reason. I hope we are not a victim of a massive depressive episode of no one remembering us. If you cant remember your past relatives then don't expect anyone to remember you! So if you want to be remembered then celebrate your past relatives and have the world remembered them. That is how we live forever!
Jean-Pierre Jeunet graces us with another film, after all these years: a black comedy about the technocratic, transhumanist future being constructed around us. The technology is invasive, oppressive, but the characters accept it without question, in their own self-centered and naive way, more concerned with romance and frivolity. A cautionary tale that audiences are too oblivious to understand, judging by the IMDB reviews. I rate it 7/10, a fine, fast-paced sci-fi comedy, with beautiful visuals as one would expect from Mr. Jeunet.
Netflix has the English dubbed version, it would have been nice if this was an MKV with both audio tracks so peopel could choose between French and English dubbed.
The movie is very good, funny with a subtle satire, and messages good for your brain.
@greekrage I'll dub it for you, I'll do all voices!
The only thing I want French is my fries...
hoping for a dubbed... Cant watch and listen to french...drives me nuts..
