Flubber

Critics Consensus

With its overactive focus on special effects and tiresome slapstick, Flubber squanders the immense talent of its cast and crew.

Audience Reviews for Flubber

  • Oct 24, 2011
    I've recently watched this movie when I was a little kid at the 90s, but given the horrible reception in this film, I now hate it as a young adult. Robin William's performance, Danny Elfman's good music score and the spectacular special effects doesn't save this movie from it's unfunny humor, a totally rehashed story of a 1960s film, forgettable characters, and the late John Hughes' pathetic script. My words to you guys is: If someone has great directing skills and Disney had a chance to remake The Absent Minded Professor again, please get Steven Spielberg to did it only if you're ready to make a better script with better humor and better characters. 3.4/10
