Watch Flubber For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Not the best of Robin Williams performances when compared to his more classic performances (Aladdin/Jumanji), but still has his moments aimed at kids where they would class it as hilarious, but adults would class it as a little funny. Serious low blow to Clancy Brown's roles in films (Smith) as he was in one of the most celebrated and beloved films of all time (Shawshank Redemption). The same goes for Will Wheaton when compared to his performance in Star Trek: The Next Generation. It has its moments of sadness but they are quite short as the film is classed as a comedy. Overall this film is easily seen as aimed towards kids as mainly all the moments are aimed at them but adults after a period of time could watch it for a nostalgia of their childhood.

Flubber (1997): Dir: Les Mayfield / Cast: Robin Williams, Marcia Gay Harden, Christopher MacDonald, Raymond J. Barry, Wil Wheaton: Flubber is green goo that bounces and stretches. Robin Williams plays a professor who creates the substance and it has the ability to render people or objects air born, which makes it difficult to control. There is a subplot regarding a student whom Williams flunked who just happens to be the son of someone they owe payments too. Formula plot mixed with stupidity with an ending that achieves the same affect as a kick to the groin. Director Les Mayfield creates a mess. He previously remade Miracle on 34th Street so now he is remaking The Absent-Minded Professor. Talk of machines with souls is unnecessary and laughable. Special effects are appealing but acting is terrible. Williams is basically rehashing old acts and his marriage ceremony scenes is actually offensive. Marcia Gay Harden is given the thankless role of girlfriend. Christopher MacDonald plays the villain, as if that is a surprise. Raymond J. Barry also makes an appearance as if this was some kind of grand career move. Wil Wheaton plays a snot nose little brat whom Williams must take down school wise. The special effects form many objects and fancy the mind with music but screenplay isn't quite so lucky. Pointless puke family crap that eventually turns to guck. Score: 1 / 10

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?

Phillip Brainard (Robin Williams) is the absent-minded professor. Chester Hoenicker (Raymond J. Barry) threatens to close the college run by his girlfriend president Sara Jean Reynolds (Marcia Gay Harden). He keeps forgetting to go to their wedding and she vows that this is the last attempt. His work with a new compound as an energy source can save their college. He has a mechanical assistant Weebo. His hated old partner Wilson Croft (Christopher McDonald) visits after stealing all of his ideas and now is after Sara. Chester's son Bennett (Wil Wheaton) is failing Brainard's class and he expected his father had already bought the grades. Chester sends his henchmen Smith (Clancy Brown) and Wesson (Ted Levine).There are a lot of good possibilities that don't pan out. Weebo is not cute and a bit of an annoying jealous brat. There is an uncomfortable man-machine love story. Also he has a flying robot. HE HAS A FLYING ROBOT! That is probably enough to keep the college going. Professor Brainard is not lovable enough. Christopher McDonald is too good at being creepy and I can't buy anybody even liking the guy. MGH is not likable either. There are too many broadly unlikeable characters. The Flubber itself is fun for a little while and Williams has good imaginary chemistry with an imaginary object. It allows him to have some physical humor. Although it gets very repetitive. There is only so much Home Alone slapstick that should be repeated. It's also very stupid that people saw the basketball game without figuring it out. This should be funnier but it's not.
