Flubber

Poor Robin Williams. When will he ever realize that he's
just not funny anymore? Not that he ever really was, of
course, considering how irritating he was in Mork and
Mindy. And even the Flubber creatures he invents in this
movie aren't funny. This has got to be one of the crudest,
most overblown, overrated remakes of an old Disney film
from recent years, and it's one of the most banal too. And
poor John Hughes. When will he ever realize that his Home
Alone formula has run out of gas also? If he doesn't return
to making what he was once successful at back in the
1980's, namely teen comedies, then he's going to end up
being one of the biggest film industry jokes of the 1990's.
I'm willing to give this movie *1/2 stars, but that's
square it. This movie is just another tired excuse for
ludicrous slapstick, and it's not something that I would
recommend that parents allow their kids to see either.
