Cherry (2000) Movie Review

It's 2017. Sam Treadwell has a quick bang on the wet kitchen floor and short-circuits his Cherry 2000, a perfect, always-in-the-mood, man-made woman sex-toy robot. Wishing to avoid the ol’ blue balls, Sam enlists the aid of female tracker E. Johnson (Melanie Griffith) and sets off for the treacherous “lawless zone” where replacement parts can still be found. Sam acts as though he's never met, or at least never talked to, a real flesh-and-blood woman, and begins to weigh his options. Does he want a woman who comes with instructions on which buttons to push, or one with her own emotions and thoughts…or maybe just an inflatable? Offbeat, occasionally funny. Score by Basil Poledouris.
