...manifesting itself not only in is legacy of poetry, prose and drama but also in drawing, painting and music, His body of delicately sensuous, highly symbolic poems are still considered among the most beautiful written in Spanish; the literary autobiography he wrote while attending Columbia university in 1930, A poet in New York, is a modern classic...

It perches rather uneasily atop a story in which Robert, a sweet, dim maintenance man (a woofly Ewan McGregor), replaced by a robot, decides to revenge himself on his rich, cruel boss (Ian Holm) by kidnapping the boss's daughter Celine (a sleek Cameron Diaz). She, naturally, turns out to be spoiled, smart, willful and eager to collaborate in ripping off Daddy...
