Reader comments: Flubber

I can see it now. Two years from now, all of these people, although none of their votes actually helped Obama, are going to be wondering why they ever supported him. Nothing he has planned will benefit America. Four years, two months and counting until we can have change for the better, not the worse.

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.
