Flubber

Flubber is a 1997 science fiction comedy film directed by Les Mayfield, produced by Disney and Great Oaks, and starring the late Robin Williams.

Plot
Professor Philip Brainard (Robin Williams) is experimenting with new kinds of energy, and he thinks this project will save struggling Medfield College, where his girlfriend, Sara (Marcia Gay Harden), is president. But when he discovers a lively, rubber-like substance dubbed "flubber," he gets so excited, he absent-mindedly misses his own wedding. Sara dumps him, so he tries to use his discovery to win her back; unfortunately, the mischievous flubber seems to have a mind of its own.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Tiresome and boring storyline that only kids would be interested in.
 * 2) Uninspired and overly-simplistic script.
 * 3) Underdeveloped human characters.
 * 4) It's not really faithful to the original The Absent-Minded Professor.
 * 5) Most of the jokes don't work and are not really funny.
 * 6) The relationship between Philip and Sara is a rather awkward part of the story.
 * 7) The cliches are weird and awkward.
 * 8) Speaking of the original The Absent-Minded Professor, it doesn’t have much of the charm to it.
 * 9) While good, Robin Williams didn't live up to his potential.
 * 10) This film killed Great Oaks Productions (though to be fair, none of their movies were really good).

Good Qualities

 * 1) Weebo and Flubber are particularly likable, cool, and funny characters.
 * 2) * On that topic, Flubber is very cute.
 * 3) Decent acting. Jodi Benson did a great job as the voice of Weebo.
 * 4) Great special effects, which still look good today.
 * 5) Some good humor here and there.
 * 6) The basketball scene was entertaining.
 * 7) Weebo's death was very emotional.
 * 8) Amazing score by Danny Elfman.
