Summary:
Dr. Jeff Peters (Malkovich) is a cranky, clumsy, crass genius of a research scientist whose latest triumph is Ulysses, an amazingly life-like robot (also played by Malkovich!) But perfect as he is, Ulysses needs to be "humanized." Enter Frankie Stone (Magnuson), a free-spirited image consultant hired to socialize the machine. She hates Peters, but does much better with Ulysses. In fact, Frankie makes Ulysses' head spin (literally) and in turn finds herself actually falling for the robot.
