An absent-minded professor discovers flying rubber in his lab. With Robin Williams.

A boy wearing Flubber shoes flies face-first into a basketball backboard. A boy is hit in the head with a glass ashtray. Two men punch each other in a comical fight.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
