      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.

      @Arbron 5 років тому +55

      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. Didn't realise anything was wrong until a cop knocked on his window six hours later. Of course, in real life he lost his license and the government assigned him a driver.

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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      I thought there was a lot of stuff to it, though I can see where it could have upped its game a little. Some parts had been a little slow, but I found it to be almost fitting for the fact that it was 'bi-centennial man'. After all, you're going through his journey, and life isn't always fast paced and quick. :)

      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.

    2. Weeboo: She was a good character that was sad to see her die. Weeboo 2 who we only got a few seconds of at the end... very annoying.
    3. The BLAM: while pointless, it was still entertaining to see, especially snice UA-cam didn't exist when this movie was released. It's still UA-cam worthy to this day. ;)
    4. maybe the Villian: not a good character but somewhat fun to see what the actor does as him.

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

    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. Again: I'm disappointed Doug didn't bother to do his research on this matter before making such brash accusations.
