Curiosità:
According to Wil Wheaton, in the scenes that he was in with Robin Williams, they would film a take the way it was supposed to be filmed. After that take, Williams would often want to improvise scenes differently than the script, just for fun. Those scenes were not added to the actual film, but there were enough scenes to make an entirely different movie. ancoraErrori:
Incongruenze nella trama: In movie Prof. Philip is a chemistry teacher but in the starting of the movie when he enters in a wrong class (actually an art class) and starts his lecture, he describes a formula of physics. ancoraCitazioni:
Weebo: Maybe you should just go without me.Professor Philip 'Phil' Brainard: Why?
Weebo: Because I get car sick.
Professor Philip 'Phil' Brainard: Oh, come on. You're not gonna blow chips.
Weebo: No!
Professor Philip 'Phil' Brainard: You don't have a stomach.
Weebo: I have a queasy gyro.

"Flubber" is nothing special or extraordinary, but it is a funny one although, for such, it's important not to take it too seriously, otherwise...
While certainly not a great movie, the movie is very underrated and for sure not as bad as many people make it sound. It's one of those movies which I think people tend to exaggerate on their criticisms. Of course that this is just my opinion. You don't have to agree with me, as long you respect my opinion in return.
This is kind of a silly comedy, one of those made purely for laughing, fun and entertainment - its major priorities. To make sure it would be a crazy comedy, they chose «the man of the 1000 voices», Robin Williams, as the absent-minded/nutty scientist professor Philip Brainard. The result is, of course, a real scream, with this actor in a funny role instead of certain ridiculous roles he plays (such as that in "Birdcage"). Anyway, lots of humorous gags and laughs are a guarantee in this movie, even if the movie isn't super.
Nevertheless, I seriously think that its biggest strenght is on its first half, while the second half is less funny, become a bit more ridiculous. But in general it is a watchable movie, one that is not as bad as you might think and also without bad stuff or bad surprises. I loved the Weebo character, just for the record.
I confess that I never saw the original movie and I didn't know this was a "remake" of an old movie. But I hope to see the original sometime and compare them both.
