Critics' Corner John F. Kelly - Weekend section, "If 'Flubber,' the movie, isn't quite a slam dunk, at least it's a relatively bouncy way to spend an hour and a half." Stephen Hunter - Style section, "It's the number of lame subplots that scramble the movie so hopelessly." Go to Video Finder

'Flubber' The movie's a remake of the "Absent Minded Professor" of 1961 that starred Fred MacMurray. Robin Williams plays a science genius named Phillip Brainard, who has a cute flying robot and is so darned forgetful he misses his own wedding, for the third time! Thus his fiancee, Medfield College President Sara Jean Reynolds (Marcia Gay Harden), dumps him for the unctuous Wilson Croft, a professor at another college. Medfield is about to go down the toilet, being out of funds and hope. Phillip's plan: to win Sara Jean back and save the school by inventing a miracle polymer that defies gravity. -- Stephen Hunter Director: Les Mayfield Cast: Robin Williams; Marcia Gay Harden; Christopher McDonald; Wil Wheaton; Raymond J. Barry; Clancy Brown; Ted Levine; Scott Michael Campbell Running Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes Filmographies: Robin Williams; Marcia Gay Harden >
