Does This Remind You of Anything?: Matt reminding his wife Sarah that he used to do something for her that she liked. You know, a foot massage. |

Long Title: While technically on the short side of long titles, the film's title is significantly longer than most overall. In the U.K., it was renamed to the considerably shorter Robo Dad. |
