Synopsis

Watch: Flubber 1997 123movies, Full Movie Online – Having already missed his wedding to his beautiful sweetheart, Sara, twice, the happy, absent-minded professor, Dr Phillip Brainard, is struggling to come up with a brilliant invention to save Medfield College from closure. However, as good things come to those who wait, the eccentric inventor stumbles upon an innovative but highly unstable formula for “Flubber”, a mysterious rubber-like hybrid elastomer that can lift objects, bouncing and stretching as if it had a mind of its own. Of course, this unique but untamed creation catches the attention of a ruthless rival who is bent on getting his hands on the extraordinary substance. But first, he will have to catch it. Can Dr Brainard protect his invention?.
Plot: Professor Phillip Brainard, an absent minded professor, works with his assistant Weebo, trying to create a substance that’s a new source of energy and that will save Medfield College where his sweetheart Sara is the president. He has missed his wedding twice, and on the afternoon of his third wedding, Professor Brainard creates flubber, which allows objects to fly through the air.

Technically impressive and enjoyable, but somewhat forgettable too
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
Review By: TheLittleSongbird
It’s a Live-Action Cartoon
Flubber follows a scatty-brained college professor and inventor, played by Robin Williams, who is on the brink of a world-changing breakthrough. Much to the annoyance of his fiancée, he misses their third (THIRD!) failed wedding attempt to finally unlock the last piece of the puzzle, and creating a green, rubbery substance with near limitless bounciness as a result. The rest of the movie follows this professor as he explores the possibilities of this substance, tries to sell it off to keep their financially failing college afloat, and tries to win his wife-to-be back from a rival scientist. All of this involves rigging a college basketball game, making a flying car, and fighting off greedy businessmen.

As plots go, Flubber is pretty diabolical. Nothing in this movie seems to make sense. This dude slaves away to make this magical substance that’ll change the world, when he already seems to have mastered robotics even beyond today’s standards, twenty-three years later. The college basketball team is made up entirely of 5′ nerds, as if the college doesn’t have its own sports division, and apparently science majors make better basketball players than artists? The greedy businessman has a chip on his shoulder because his spoiled son wasn’t allowed on said basketball team because his grades weren’t good enough, but he was clearly more athletic than anyone on that team, so I’m not really sure what relevance his bad grades had. And the whole romance subplot? How has their relationship functioned up to this point? I get it’s Disney in the 90s and seeing two characters cohabiting before marriage was a big no-no, but this guy misses THREE of his own weddings to the same woman. At the end he gets one of his robots to stand in for him for their fourth attempt while he continues sciencing at home. How has she not got to the point of physically dragging him to the altar yet? In a very heartfelt speech, Robin Williams explains how his love for this woman is what makes him so scatterbrained, but surely that can’t apply to actually marrying her? Hey darling, I just love you so much I can’t think and forget what I’m doing, including how much I love you…?

But seriously, you’re not watching Flubber for its plot. This is a live-action cartoon for kids. As fun as writing that rant out was, it’s totally irrelevant to the movie’s aim, which is to give kids a good laugh. Flubber’s humour is almost entirely slapstick, with all manner of characters getting hit in the face with various items, over and over and over. There are a few more nuanced moments of humour, but they’re never quite enough to keep the adults entertained. I can confirm my seven year old found it as gut-bustingly hilarious as I did twenty years ago though, so it absolutely hits its mark.

And Flubber isn’t an entirely soulless affair either, with most of its character and charm coming from the secretary-type robot Weebo. In fact you could argue this character gets the most development. She spends her nights imagining herself as a human, creates pastiche people out of magazine clippings, turns them into holograms, and then imagines seducing the professor with them. She’s a lovestruck A.I. who realises that to make the target of her affections happy, she’s going to have to let him go. All of this makes Weebo the most charming, sympathetic, and relatable character in the whole movie, and means her eventual fate hits the heartstrings pretty hard. For a movie devoid of sensible plotting and slapstick humour to have genuine emotional investment in a characters death is a testament to how great that character is.

Flubber is not a great movie. Even for kids there are better movies out there; funnier movies, more meaningful movies, more important movies, more memorable movies. But Flubber achieves everything it set out to do and even had a couple of surprises to boot. It hasn’t aged well at all, coming from an age when live-action cartoons actually kind of worked, but it is inventive and has some classic Robin Williams moments. My son gave it a gut-busting 8/10. I err more critically and give it a better-than-average 6/10.
