An average movie

It might sound weird but I don’t think it was that bad at all. I don’t know, the whole thing looked and sounded like yet another boring and obnoxious flick starring Robin Williams and, as a result, I had some very low expectations and it might explains the fact I give this movie maybe a little more credit than it actually deserves. First of all, I have never seen the original version, I wasn’t acquainted with ‘Flubber’ whatsoever so I didn’t have any preconceived ideas beforehand and I guess it made it more enjoyable for me as well. Of course, the plot was really generic and pedestrian but it is inherent to this genre but, honestly, for once, it didn’t really bothered me. Personally, I thought that Robin Williams was pretty funny and the special effects were honestly quite impressive. All right, I have to admit, when I watch the trailer, it seems to be like a pretty stupid flick and, of course, it is a rather lame story (especially the love story between Robin Williams and Marcia Gay Harden was really poorly developped) but I thought the makers made the best of it and, at the end of the day, it is a pretty entertaining family feature even though it won’t be a game changer, that’s for sure. To conclude, I thought it was a fun family flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you want to watch something with your kids, I’m pretty sure they will have a good time watching this.
