Flubber became an instant classic when it debuted in 1997. I fell in love with Robin Williams' charming smile and comic relief. The acting was exceptional and the movie kept me laughing and/or crying. I'm not sure how it didn't win... Full review

"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... Full review

but it's a feel-good kinda film, that offers good humour and laughs with slapstick, farce and good old fashioned family fun This flatulent, flimsy, flighty, flippant, flubbery flick is, well, a bore. The script has a few flaws ... Full Review

And there's a bit too much emotional distress in "Flubber" and not quite enough of the energetic slapstick that takes place at the big basketball game, which Phillip fixes with Flubber (yes, kids, he's cheating! ...

The Cincinnati Enquirer
The bumblers, named Smith and Wesson, are played respectively by Clancy Brown and Ted Levine, two fine actors who really deserve better than the clumsy pratfalls they're given. And, thanks to the movie's elaborate special effects, the stuff is a hoot -- buoyant, bubbly and funny. ... Full Review
