"Guess what percent I'm in?" she responds. "93% of German women dream of this," he tells her. When she rejects a romantic brunch he cooks up the next morning, he'll try rose petals, candles, wine, and a bubble-bath in the evening. But that's the plan: As she resists, Tom will adapt. Alma dismisses Tom's "two mountain lakes" opening as not worthy of a greeting card. She'll report back at the end of a three-week trial period, during which Tom's precision-tooled algorithm will theoretically get better at meeting her every requirement of the perfect man.Īdmittedly, things haven't started well. This was her boss' idea - he's on an ethics committee that has agreed to look at the ramifications of sentient robots. Speaking flawless German, Dan Stevens is the android of Maren Eggert's dreams. Then he smiles at a change in the music - "Rumba!" - and leads Alma to the dance floor, where he's pretty dashing with the dips and the spins, until, with a slight twitch, he starts to repeat himself. Though these are not the likeliest follow-ups to his having told her she's beautiful and that her "eyes are like two mountain lakes I could sink into," he answers without hesitation, reciting the sixth and seventh lines of Rilke's "Autumn Day" with feeling, and not even furrowing his brow before coming up with "e," the final line's penultimate letter, or solving the calculation to five decimal places. "What's the second-to-last letter of that poem?" "What are the sixth and seventh lines of your favorite poem?" Tom (Dan Stevens) whisks a very skeptical Alma (Maren Eggert) around the dance floor as his precision-tooled algorithm tries to meet her every requirement for the perfect man.Īlma (Maren Eggert) is an archaeologist in I'm Your Man, scientific in her approach, skeptical by nature, but even by her own standards she's asking Tom, the charming lug sitting opposite her in a dance club, some pretty odd questions for a first date.
