Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Filipe Neto In my opinion, this is one of the most discreet and little-known films of Robin Williams' career, despite having had a lot of publicity and media coverage when it debuted. It tells the story of a distracted scientist who creates a gelatin-like green substance that has a life of its own and can solve the world's energy problems. In the midst of all this, his robotic helper falls in love with him and ruins his marriage. The story of the movie starts from an original idea, but it has many flaws and gigantic plot holes. Robin Williams looks good in the main character, although he does not look very motivated. The actor's tone is much warmer and lazier than usual. Flubber, as a character, was absurdly underutilized in the film, even considering the brilliant musical scene made with this character. The nature of the substance "Flubber" is never clarified, nor is it really alive. Weebo, the assistant of the scientist played by Williams, ends up becoming the most complete character of the film, with a strong dramatic and psychological depth and well-made humor moments. The villains are good as comic elements but they also were not very developed as characters. All this harms the film a lot and causes adults to reject it altogether whereas the children, for whom the film is clearly directed, merely laugh at their jokes. We can conclude that this film is a succession of very positive and promising elements that failed because they were not exploited in the best way. Maybe that's why the movie was never a success. It simply did not stay in the memory of that generation and eventually slipped into oblivion over the years.
Brandon Mullins OK the film is enjoyable and funny but after Sara and Phillip got together, the film ended really fast. Are they trying to finish up the film quickly? There is some slow parts. But most of them are fast! I feel sorry for people that didn't see much of flubber and Sara and Philip being together. Im glad that weebo released flubber even Phillip told her not to. Or we wouldn't see more of flubber. He transforms into different forms of beings. Just like morph from treasure planet does. Now for the ratings:I will rate each element of the film! Story: The story is about professor Phillip working on something new that will get Sara to like him. He made a green flying rubber that names flubber. He makes flubber liquid mix to the spray and the can to make the object bounce upon impact on the ground or something. So i like the story. So i rated it 7/10Dialogues: the dialogs are fine. But weeber has no dialogs. But shows the videos explaining about whats going to happen or expression. Some of her videos are funny. So i rated it 8/10Casts: its pretty well matched with the characters. They coulda put Jim Carry as Phillip and the film will be hilarious! But they needed a actor who is the best for the professor. And thats the guy who's the expert at lab work. So i rated it 7/10Good title for the film? Well yes. Because its about flubber! Why not?
Prismark10 Disney got Robin William's who became popular in the 1990s with family entertainment films to remake the The Absent Minded Professor. Popular with kids at the time mainly because it was co- written by John Hughes who put some of his Home alone slapstick formula with two comedy henchman played by Ted Levine and Clancy Brown.William's discovers discovers some kind of flying rubber which may save his college which is in a financial crisis. So excited he is with his invention that he forgets his wedding day for the third time. Why his bride to be could not make sure that in case he forgets, he is accompanied by two people to drag him to the church on time is anyone's guess.His girlfriend who also happens to be the College Dean gets the attention of a love rival and a mobster wants the formula for flubber and sends his henchman to retrieve it.Williams is assisted by an Artificial Intelligent flying robot called Weebo which strangely is not marketed by Williams to save the college.The film is knockabout slapstick squarely aimed at kids and they will appreciate it the most. Adults will find the film too silly, flawed and simplistic.
poj-man O Flubber, Flubber! Wherefore art the flying rubber? Deny the original and refuse it's name And if Robin Williams could have a stupider script It is Not The Absent Minded ProfessorShould you know more, or should we speak of this?Tis more than thy script that is thine enemy. Robin Williams is Robin Williams and not Fred McMurray. What's Fred McMurray? He is comedic timing. His thespian ability is not buffoonish ham-handed over emoting Belonging to a paycheck.What's in a name? That we call Flubber. Blown out of a humans rectum it is not so sweet.============================Only a child could be entertained by this stock character story thrown around FX. Robin Williams plays a moronically brilliant professor who works in his house and forgets his wedding day...and no one can find this "known to be absent minded moronically brilliant" professor. The bride left at the altar is left to fall into the clutches of the stock evil guy becauseno one bothered to check with the Groom at all the day of his wedding. No once called the house or drove by. The Professor is such a nerd no one said "Bachelor party!" Ladies! Isn't this the man of your dreams especially if you are an ovulating female wanting to start a family?This is the stupidity passed off as a script. The video games targeted at children have more depth of character than this dreck.
