Plots(1)
College professor Philip Brainard (Robin Williams) is so absent-minded that he manages to miss his own wedding to colleague Sara Reynolds (Marcia Gay Harden). The reason Philip forgets is his new invention - Flubber, a high-energy green substance which can bounce great distances, even enabling Philip to fly his car like an aeroplane. However, Philip and Flubber have their work cut out when they discover that Sara has been sweet-talked by Philip's rival in love, Wilson. Together with Philip's pet robot, Weebo, they set about winning Sara back. (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment)

At times very silly, at times very boring, and the use of digital effects is often quite poor, but that was to be expected for its time. After all, even today it is possible to see worse special effects. Robin Williams is classically kind of nice, and the world here is simply divided into good and evil, which you can tell at first glance, and a brilliant invention is used for pretty dumb purposes. At times, there really isn't anything to laugh about in this film.
