In light of some recent Flubber support in the groups section; I believe I need to put my 2 cents in.

I was excited about this film; it had some real potential...alas it's potential wasn't realised.

I wanted it to be about the creation of a cute looking green creature that unleashed havoc on the world...it started off as this but soon turned.

This was even worse than expected, and my expectations were not high....

I mean, wow, I must have been a moron when I was a kid, for real, yo....

I mean, I'm not even sure that Steve Carell could help this guy.... Or whoever fucking decided that having a *jealous robot* was a good idea.... I mean, like, what the fuck?

“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 scri” read more
