Title: Failed attempt at a good premise
Review: A good story should have one or more of these: a good story, moral lesson, or emotional content. Spielberg's AI falls short in all of these. The story could be interesting but is not told well. You feel some sympathy for the character but it is more pity than understanding. If it's showing somewhere on TV for free it's worth a look, but it's very long and doesn't keep one's interest enough to watch it till the end.
