I feel like a good chunk of this movie would've been a lot better if instead of missing the wedding three times, it was about him getting the courage to propose to Sarah while also dealing the obvious bad guy, as well as trying to save the college. Yes it would've been a bit more predictable, but it would've at least made Phillip more likable.

John Huges was entirely to blame for Flubber's horrible writing. The other guy was dead. Bill Walsh was the writer of the The Absent Minded Professor, the film Flubber was based on. Walsh had died 19 years before Flubber was released and long before the film was in production.

[@aussieman3021]

Yeah, parts of Bill's script were unchanged from the original. That's why he received the posthumous co-writing credit. Not to mention that Bill also co-wrote the screenplay for Mary Poppins.

Why is missing the wedding four times is considered a funny running gag? I don't get the joke. That doesn't make someone quirky, it makes them stupid.

[@Arbron]

Why would someone with a history of getting absorbed in his work *do some of that work the morning before his wedding anyway?* At that point he should have been accompanied by one of the wedding staff, or the limo driver, or even a nanny. The fact it happened a second time (let alone a third) means we can't really blame just him anymore. That's itching into "mental disorder, unfit to live independently, why aren't we fucking assigning people to watch him" territory.

Sad thing is, it's not entirely a joke. One of the scientists on the Manhattan Project caused a major security alert because he had a thought while sitting at a stop sign on the way to work and sat there to think about it.

@@TheRelevantusername I don't know, most really, really smart people have various emotional disorders. There was an episode of the Simpsons where Lisa discovered the reality of the statement 'ignorance is bliss'. Generally, as a person's intelligence increases their happiness decreases. Or think of 'Rain Man'. Hyper competence is actually genetically linked to mental disorders. It's one pf the things geneticists are working on, how to unlock single or broad spectrum hyper competence without also causing significant retardation in every other area.

[@williamhanekom9882]

Story wise, I think it would have been a lot more smarter to ditch the wedding subplot entirely and focus on the relationship between the professor, Weebo and flubber. Take away the robot -crush stuff and give it a sibling rivalry dynamic. Weebo being the older, more mature robot and flubber being the newborn incontrollable goo that gets away with causing trouble one too many times. The professor loves seeing what his new creation can do, only to forget how important Weebo is to him. Ultimately resulting in a similar climax in which the sponsor tries to steal flubber with weebo taking the hit for it. This is when the arc comes full circle where weebo sacrifices herself, dies but is rebooted in a new model. The professor gets the sponsor arrested and he learns not to take his older creations for granted. End.

[@augustwest5356]

i know this is a movie, but theres not a fucking chance anyone has ever forgotten their own wedding 3 times. Honestly, I'm willing to bet no man has ever just flat out forgot about their wedding. Even on the off chance they did, when everyone noticed the guy wasn't there a few hours before the ceremony started I'm sure someone at the very least call or go looking for the missing groom. Something. Thats not quirky or absent minded, it's a serious mental problem. I guess all I'm saying is a guy forgetting his own wedding 3 fucking times is completely unrealistic. Id believe that flubber exists before I believe that shit. Incredibly stupid, far fetched, bull shit is not a good way to start a movie unless you are making a movie thats entire purpose is to be nothing but Incredibly stupid, far fetched, unfunny, bullshit. N

[@ilopominecrafter]

August West ahem, sgt bilko would like a word with you

[@Arbron]

Movies don't acknowledge the fact that stuff happens *before* the wedding. In movies the bride and groom simply show up right on time and it happens. None of the *months of planning, organizing catering, staff, limo driver, renting/buying the suit and dress, scheduling a time when all family members can make it, and other details.* Not to mention, as you said, that people (including bride and groom) would be present at the venue *hours* before the actual ceremony is scheduled to begin, because in real life there's such a thing as logistics. The groom not being there would raise red flags way before it's time to stand at the altar.

[@lightsidesoul]

"I blamed the producers for forcing John Hughes to work with so called writers." 1. John Hughes was one of the two producers for this film. 2. The other "writer" died twenty years before this movie even came out. He's in the credits because he wrote the ORIGINAL film(1961) that this was based off of. This is almost all on John Hughes.

Doug really should have done his research before making his incredibly stupid statement at 16:50 that "that other guy" should be blamed for the flaws in this movie's screenplay. A simple click on IMDB would revealed that the other credited writer, Bill Walsh, died in 1975 and didn't actually have anything to do with this movie. The only reason Bill Walsh got credited was because he wrote and produced the original film "The Absent Minded Professor". But the screenplay for "Flubber" was written entirely by John Hughes, so whatever faults there were with the "Flubber" script rest with Hughes.

[@fitre4722]

I love this movie regardless of this review

[@NitroNinja324]

Kuro Heart Still do. My brother used to threaten me with taping the VHS over with Dora if I didn't do what he said.

[@timmyteaches7663]

Why say used to if you still do

[@silverblade357]

I remember liking this movie until I realized a working sentient robot is much more impressive than dancing snot and all the characters failing to acknowledge that was bad, bad writing.

[@penepleto1210]

2:09 Fool me once, I'm mad Fool me twice, how could you Fool me three times, you're officially that guy

[@ladypool1404]

Bicentennial man is not a bad movie. It's long yes BUT very emotional. It's cute to see a robot having emotions and being friends with a little girl :) It's weird that he would fall in love with her though. Not sure she was attracted to him! The girl considers Andrew as a friend, not more! At least the ending was happy; he was accepted by humans before he left. That was adorable X3 Jumknji is also an excellent movie with Robin Williams as well as the first Night at the museum.

[@applescruff88]

@ladypool1404 It wasn't the little girl that he was in a relationship, it was her lookalike granddaughter from what I remember.

[@kaijuhub3937]

Critic: Why not just rebuild her? Because you don't ask a couple who lost their baby 'why not just have another baby'.

[@CasaiAgicap]

Babies aren't built. Humans aren't consistent like machines are; if you make a machine the same way twice, it'll work the same way. If you raise two kids the exact same way, you won't end up with the same kid.

[@TheSwedeMoffo]

+CasaiAgicap Sentient beings aren't consistent at all, whetever it's artificial or natural life. As we can see that she's clearly a sentient being, just rebuilding her wouldn't suffice since she wouldn't be very sentient if other things didn't influence her personality than just her code, like with humans. Then you also have things like the connection between the two, and their shared memories.

[@CasaiAgicap]

Nintendo Video Gamer She's still a machine. She's not really "sentient," so much as programmed to "think". We have robots that, while not exactly at this level, are capable of problem solving. Even if our hero doesn't know HOW he did it, he just programmed it. Unlike with people, AI can be given memories and a personality, just by writing it into them. I will admit, this is more of a philosophical argument than a scientific one. So, I will instead just point out that we're arguing over the sentience of a robot in a Robin Williams kid's movie. Not a shot at you, mind you, since I instigated it. I just think we both may wanna sit down and think about what we've done.

[@Burkhart4192]

+CasaiAgicap +Nintendo Video Gamer: Just as a side note, Weebo deleted her own plans and the professor's too forgetful to remember it himself. Her self-admitted vanity meant that she wanted to be unique, so instead she made a "daughter".

[@DavidRYates-bx9qg]

+Nintendo Video Gamer He can rebuild Weebo's shell/body, and just put the AI core/brain into the new body.

[@brontozillasour1908]

honestly I enjoyed flubber as a kid. and I actually found the little flubber character itself kind of cute, in a sort of puppy crossed with gizmo (gremlins) crossed with the blob kind of way.

[@owenlinder1275]

the way he moved at 8:01 made me crack up

[@DaylightFan4449]

"I'd rather die than disappoint you" "Promise?" this....this did not age well given how Robin Williams died

[@Dunbie_]

Was searching for this comment lmao my thoughts exactly

[@anakinskywalker5795]

10:42 no critic it's not boring it's BATSHIT INSANE!

[@Jawesomness16]

6:44 Well, if it was, we know now that he’d be a better actor than a president.

[@j.s.5685]

9:13 *NOOOO!!!!* DON'T DO THIS. *N O T TO ROBIN WILLIAMS.*

[@OctoAri]

My favorite thing about this movie: making my own flubber at home when I was a kid :D

[@anonymous-hz2un]

"Fun" fact: the time distance between the movie and the review is the same as the one between the review and nowadays: 13 years

[@nine_tails137]

In all honesty, I actually Liked this Movie, since Robin Williams is one of my Favorite Comedians!(Next to Jim Carrey) God I really miss him!(And his Humor) T^T

[@KidSnivy69]

That's weak reasoning to like something

[@nine_tails137]

KidSnivy96 NO! It's just MY Personal Opinion!

[@KidSnivy69]

Nine_Tails137 Calm down, you crazy

[@nine_tails137]

KidSnivy96 Says the guy who called my opinion "weak"! 😠

[@KidSnivy69]

Nine_Tails137 That doesn't make any sense

[@jordanrichards9372]

watching Joe Biden smash through a window was the best part of this movie

[@perikudon]

So "Flubber" is short for "Flying Rubber"... you just changed my fucking world!! Neither that joke nor the concept made it into the Spanish dub!!

[@ramirezthesilvite]

Continuous acceleration? Young lady, in this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

[@DouViction]

Hey, you know, the idea of an AI falling in love with a human is actually catchy as fuck! Well, I doubt it falling in love with its creator is equally catchy, since it's like, you know, just as bad as Elizabeth and Booker, for the exact same reason (well, at least it should feel weird for the human partner, despite there being no risk of a genetic pathology in their offspring). An in this case I kinda feel sorry for the robot chick. Not only she's been bested, but she gets to watch her love interest living happily with his new wife EVERY FREAKING DAY, and she's at least a fully functional ginoid cybernetic body away from being theoretically able to give him all that his wife gives (I mean, c'mon, a hologram is just photons reflecting against a thin particle cloud or whatever, you can't touch photons, or actually give a decent feel of touching a thin cloud of particles of whatever nature. No sex until this cybernetic body is ready). And, well, when she finally gets said body... The professor cheating on his wife with his AI assistant every time they have a fight or whatever - that's a Sci-Fi soap opera and I don't think I'm really eager to see this happen.

[@etherealsky7078]

DouViction I get this comment is 2 years old, but I hope that by now you’ve probably seen « Her »!

[@misseli1]

I loved the flubber dance scene as a kid. I think it was the only scene I paid attention to. Apart from maybe the basketball scene.

[@Rack-Toonz64]

I love the Flubber dance scene.

[@Ice-Climber]

Hey, that loser coach was also Ted the lawyer in Scrubs.

[@samcolvett6752]

For some reason, "Flubber's going to the basketball game" is a joke in my family.

[@charlieiannini3502]

2:56 Oooohhhhh that did'nt age well

[@gjergjaurelius9798]

I remember seeing this movie at school on a half a day or something. I even as a kid I wanted to see more of the weebo story. That's a perfect story straight from a CYBERPUNK novel or something. A.I. falling in love with a human. A computer developing feelings. I mean wtf!🤷🏻‍♂️

[@burcolclone8322]

3:00 OMG that is the perfect description of that guy (ironically enough, I can't remember his name).

[@garrettwilson4812]

Boy, that Robin Williams joke did not age well 2:55

[@Tekaida]

7:02 That part killed me xD

[@tdark987]

13:35 That must one of the most forced, shoehorned Star Trek references I've even seen in a film. The cliched line was unsubtle enough by itself, yet they for some reason thought it was necessary to also reference it in the music?

[@cyborgninja5489]

They have dudes flipping around, flying through the hoop with their whole body and leaping 40 ft in the air and they only won by one point.

[@jonathansefcik473]

This was one of the first movies I've ever seen in my entire life. Still have the VHS!

I had to watch this in Science class. It sucked.

I'm right there with you guys. The worst part is everyone else thought it was great.

[@theprooblem]

In America do you watch "Flubber" during science class? No wonder you elected Trump.

[@knightofoctober]

I'm so sorry. At least my classes got Osmosis Jones and The Magic School Bus.

[@GuitarBroTV1997]

I will say though I do hate when he doesn't show up for the 4th time. What if he DID show up finally & maybe Weebo's replacement hands the ring. In fact, why not in the beginning as Brainard struggles to remember the 3rd wedding while Weebo tries to remind him of just that...he remembers perfectly and doesn't act awkward when talking to Sarah about the event. I mean there's some changes that could've made this movie stronger. These are just suggestions.

[@FireBomberBassist]

The best part is when flubber exploded out that guys ass. Lmao 15:20

[@2Scribble]

[@mrtuvok5578]
