THE SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN THE FILM

Scientific discovery and Brainard’s relentless pursuit of scientific breakthroughs drives the plot, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, experimentation, and invention.

His preoccupation with research causes him to jeopardize his human relationships, particularly with his fiancée. Love, second chances, and redemption play a huge role in this film

There is also a mild undertone regarding responsibility and ethics with scientific advancement.

WHAT I LOVED

Oh boy. That’s a rough one. The Flubber was cute?

Oh! I like the poster!

WHAT I DIDN'T

Holy shit, where do I begin? I apologize to anyone who loves this movie or anyone who worked on the film, but this is a classic example of the type of shit that happens when a studio ONLY cares about special effects and puts no time or effort into a cohesive plot or writing a single joke for said non-cohesive plot. How do you have such a great cast and make this piece of shit?

Who was watching Home Alone and went, “What if we add the Wet Bandits, but take away everything that’s loveable about them?

Who thought, “No one looks up, so they never see the flying car!”

Who the fuck wrote this fucking basketball scene?

WORSE, who wrote the dancing Flubber scene?

I can’t stand the bullshit trope of not remembering his own wedding day. Why don’t you not hold it on the first day of school? Why is the PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL getting married on the first day of the semester? If she knows he won’t show, why doesn’t she take him there?

And why, OH FUCKING WHY, does she NOT CARE when he throws himself out a window?

Nothing about this movie makes sense, and I say that as someone who loves a lot of really shitty slasher movies.

Why are people able to get hit in the head with speeding bowling balls?

There is nothing redeeming about this movie and I want my hour and a half back.

FAVORITE PARTS

That’s not funny. Don’t joke.

ACTUAL TEXTS I SENT IN ANGER WHILE WATCHING THIS FILM

These are all 100% real. I sent them to a friend while suffering through this movie:

I hope this movie gets better. LOL

I kind of hate it so far

I'm in the middle of a bunch of terrible cliches that weren't funny the first 90 times I saw them

A guy who can't remember his wedding... blah. Holding that wedding on the first day of school seems fucking stupid though

Then you have shooter McGavin show up and he's all "I like to steal your ideas. I'm corrupt!" He literally said, "I'm corrupt!"

Man this is bad so far. LOL

I didn't expect greatness, but omg

lol the fucking robot's voice totally changed

oh Robin, why have I done this to myself?

I still think Shooter looks like a manly Michael Cera

Flubber is nicely shot. The frames are well-filmed. LOL

It's weird how there's a blue screen reflecting in his glasses a lot when there's no blue screen anywhere.

Lol the flubber is bouncing through the neighborhood. but there's no consistency with what people are doing. Some are in bed. A 2-year-old is up watching TV. Another family is having dinner. I love the lack of thought in stuff like this

Ted Levine and Clancy Brown? Is this movie going to make me hate one of my favorite actors???? Because I'll stop watching it right now. LOL I love Clancy

I'll just close my eyes and picture Mr. crabs

Why do I have a bad feeling they made a cheap rip-off of the wet bandits for this movie?

LOL Two headshots from a flying bowling ball now

It could be worse. I could have to watch Club Paradise again

holy shit. she made an AI girlfriend

But now I have and it's basketball time and he's applying stuff to their shoes. So sneaky

I smirked when he used an airhorn on Shooter

The flubber is dancing and I'm SO angry

SHOOTER ATE FLUBBER AND IT SHOT OUT HIS ASSHOLE AND DIDN'T KILL HIM OR EVEN MAKE HIM BLEED!

what the fuck is this movie???
