This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

You guys are all idiots for rating this dumb-ass movie so highly because it really sucked big donkey dick. Well, this movie and the "new" version of A Nightmare on Elm Street. I bet you dummies would even vote Howard The Duck as "a highly well-thought out film with excellent imagery." Puh-lease!Do all of us a favor: don't rate any more movies on IMDb because you all SUCK! I hope I never have to sit behind you guys in a movie theater. What an awful critique of such a horrible film! Ugggh! It makes me want to throw popcorn at your nappy little heads!Somebody tell these guys that they need to go back to their home planet right now!I ABSOLUTELY love the part of the film where that Nickelodeon stuff is bouncing all over the place. It really makes my balls tingle. Oooooooooh!And Robin Williams, wow! His acting was even better than in Patch Adams.I can't wait until Flubber Part 3 comes out. It will be a real hoot!

I remember seeing this as a kid and I found it really funny,but I haven't seen this in ages so I decided to buy the DVD of it this year and watched it last night.The story is about a professor called Phillip(played by the late Robin Williams) who creates this rubber like substance and calls Flubber. But problems arise as he ends up getting late for his wedding which causes trouble with his relationship with Sarah(played by Marcia Gay Harden) .Meanwhile the professor's assistant(who happens to be a robot called Weebo voiced by Jodi Benson who is the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid), is actually very jealous of Professor Phillip's relationship with him and Sarah and she is the reason why he forgot his wedding. So she starts to have feelings for him and in one scene she creates a hologram of a woman just to get close to him(which sounds kinda silly but still though she was made by the Professor).Overall it was a really long time ago since I last seen it but it was a funny movie,the slapstick is great and Robin Williams is such an energetic person. He will be sadly missed and may his legacy move on forever in our hearts. RIP Robin WilliamsNot the best of Williams career but hey if you are a fan of the late Robin Williams then check it out.6.5/10Last edited: 15th of October 2014

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-

This movie had a lot of potential. While technically impressive and very enjoyable with some genuinely funny moments, for some reason it falls short. Of course there are redeeming qualities, such as the fun music score by Danny Elfman, one of my all time favourite film composers and an amusing turn from Robin Williams. Also the special effects are greatly improved from the effects in the Absent Minded Professor, and Flubber who is so cute steals the show. The performances from Clancy Brown, Ted Levine and Marcia Gay Horden are entertaining, and Jodi Benson (who voiced Ariel in the Little Mermaid)is a delight as the voice of Weebo, whose death is absolutely heart-rending. However the story is very predictable, and offers few surprises, and the physical comedy was better than the patchy script which in places felt uninspired. That saying some of the physical comedy has strong hints of deja vu, and is rather hit and miss. Of course kids will lap it up, but adults probably won't like it as much. The second half of the movie is more meandering in quality compared to the first half, very little of interest happens and some of the situations come across as ridiculous. All in all, somewhat forgettable, but for a kids movie it is pretty entertaining. 6/10 Bethany Cox
