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?

Due to having two sons I watch a lot of kids movies, and appreciate them for what they are, some I enjoy ("Underdog") and some I loathe ("Son Of The Mask") but I always bare in mind it's aimed at kids!!Plot In A Paragraph: An absent minded professor Philip Brainard (Robin Williams) tries to save his college from being closed down by developing a new energy source. This fails on almost every level, it's special effects looked awfully dated, it's script was awful, and it's plot was pretty much throws every cliché in the book at you.I could understand the late Robin Williams taking this at a low point in his career, but he was still a really popular actor when he made this tripe. It's a shame to see Clancy Brown (Kurgan from "Highlander") here too. Will Wheaton is OK and nobody plays a giant douche like Christopher McDonnald. My favourite character in the entire movie was Weebo (voiced by Jodi Benson), Philip's hovering robot assistant. Final assessment Williams tries hard, but these are not 100 of his better minutes.

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.

I wish Flubber was real, because if it was, I would be playing with it right now. We watched this in Science class once because it has to do with atoms and stuff, and we were learning about that. I think we were learning about atoms. OK back to the movie. It was just a bit boring. No, it was a lot boring. Only like 5 scenes were interesting. Robin Williams acting as the professor was a bad choice, because he is like 20 years older than the woman he likes and gets married too. Well he looked like it anyways. I would love to have a house like the professor, though. It was so cool and he really did not have to do anything, just have Weebo or his master inventions do it for him. This is a very kid friendly movie. Nothing frightening or sexual, just kissing. No drugs, maybe a character smoking. Very mild profanity and some violence.8-
