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.

OllieSuave-007 This is the remake of 1961's Absent-Minded Professor, where Robin Williams plays Professor Phillip Brainard. He works with his assistant Weebo, a talking miniature flying robot, and created a rubber-like substance called Flubber, which can make objects fly through air. His scientific research has caused him to miss his wedding to fiancée Dr. Sara Jean Reynolds (Marcia Gay Harden), who ends up going out with Professor Wilson Croft (Christopher McDonald). Therefore, Brainard works to get Reynolds back, and deal with a couple of criminals who want their hands on Brainard's scientific work.I haven't seen The Absent-Minded Professor, so I couldn't compare the two films. But, to evaluate this movie alone, I'd say it is just an average movie with some whimsical fun and silly slapstick comedy, and a plot that really goes all over the place. Williams looks pretty odd in the movie, Harden did an OK job in her role, and McDonald was just plain annoying in his performance. I enjoyed the Weebo character, voiced by The Little Mermaid voice actress Jodi Benson. The little flying robot reminded me of the little aliens in the sci-fi flick *batteries not included, and her little TV screen that shows various Disney cartoon scenes whenever she makes emotions is a clever touch.Overall, I didn't think it was a really exciting movie, but for its whimsical, slapstick and childish elements, this movie is best left for younger children to enjoy.Grade C

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.
