Summary: Cute But Absentmindedly Twisted
Review: Recently I went to a theater showing the Disney remake, Flubber, starring Robin Williams. Although I still prefer the original The Absent Minded Professor, Flubber was a whole lot of fun.

Robin Williams plays a science professor looking for a new form of energy. As the film opens, Williams is already in danger of missing his own wedding for the third time. But while guests wait patiently Williams discovers the semi-intelligent Flubber. Much of the rest of the film is spent trying to win back the heart of his fiance and subsequently save the collage from bankruptcy and closure. Williams is aided in his endeavors by two robots. The first is an exceptionally capable housekeeping robot. The second is a levitating, self-aware intelligence with full emotions. While fun companions movie-wise, the technical aspects of these robots would be more than enough for Williams to save the college. In the End Williams wins back his fiancé, defeats the bad guys trying to close the college and finds a future for Flubber.

While Flubber is very enjoyable it seems like the writers added details for the sake of cuteness without thinking about the implications. Williams is looking for a new energy source yet he has a robot that can defy gravity and powered by simple electricity. He needs a discovery worth money yet he has two very successful and useful robots, one of them alive. Flubber itself has been made into some kind of life form. This may be good for merchandising but one can only wonder about the source of powdered Flubber or the implications of flight resulting from intentionally causing the organism's decay. Selling the rights to flying cars to Ford made for a funny scene but now there can potentially be millions of semi-responsible drivers flying through the country's airlanes while carrying radioactive materials. Additionally, a few scenes were changed from the original and are now less plausible. For instance, in the original, the fiancé calls the professor when he is late for the wedding again.

So if you are looking for fun then this is your movie. However, if you tend to rebel at inconsistencies and like your plots to make sense, then you might want to avoid this one. It's up to you.

Summary: BAAAD....
Review: Robin Williams is definitely not like wine... As time goes by, he gets worse and worse, accepting ridiculous scripts like this one. I hope he improves, because he has already given us great performances like "DEAD POETS SOCIETY".

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The car saves the film from the scrap heap!
Review: Robin Williams soaring in the heavens in his cool T-bird is the only thing worthwhile in this remake of the classic "The Absent-Minded Professor". The robot assistant is cute and the dancing flubber shows off the prowess of the special effects technicians, but, as a film, "Flubber" insults even the intellect of a three-year-old.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Flubber
Review: The movie is a great escape, with some good humor and energy. After seeing the cool flying robotic assistant and the flying car, it made me enjoy dreaming and innovating. Some of those negative reviews were apparently given by those with the sense of humor of a piece of wood. Robin Williams is great at playing an absent minded professor, with some hillarious statements and events. His fiance was a great companion in the movie, with her sweet disposition.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good family fun and inspiring for inventive types

Summary: flub you!
Review: there is a really old version to this too.the only real 2 flaws in this one are robin williams and his pesky wife.why cant he seem to get along with women in any of his movies?well,robin is an extremely absent minded inventor who makes a jelly like putty that is semi-intelligent and has many many uses.the kids dont really go for it except when the putty is about.its worth seeing once id say.like i mentioned,robin has a girls name and cant seem to keep it together with chicks in his films.in birdcage he was gay.he was a cross dresser in mrs doubtfire.there was some movie about drag queens where he was in briefly as a gay character.i think ive made my point.kids tend to cry when robins robot dies.that guy who played in the rocky horror picture show as a transvestite is robins rival in this one.

Rating: 2 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ! DANGER! This film blows chunks
Review: This is an excellent example of a bad film. Disney has really outdone itself on this one... Viewers should be warned that this film has been documented to cause decay in the frontal lobe of the subjects brain. Please, I beg you, Do NOT even bother viewing this. I'm suprized Robin Williams hasn't lost his will to live after participating in the making of this monstrosity.
