Additional InformationForgetful Professor Phillip Brainard inadvertently creates "flying rubber" in his lab, misses his wedding date repeatedly, and is menaced by bungling goons hired by a jealous rival out to steal his lady and his invention. Producer and co-screenwriter John Hughes renders the Disney classic, "The Absent-Minded Professor" for the digital-effects crowd, dusting it with the slapstick hyperbole of his "Home Alone" films and "modern" touches like Brainard's sassy floating personal robot, Weebo. Meanwhile, the flubber itself takes on a life of its own, executing a musical production number.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Technological advances in filmmaking make these flying scenes pleasant and even allow the flubber a Busby Berkeley dance routine..., USA Today - ...Great big gobs of wiggly green goo....All the gee-wizardry that '90s effects can conjure...
