Flubber

(Disney)

In Disney's remake of its 1961 hit The Absent-Minded Professor, Robin Williams plays an inventor so scatterbrained he forgets to show up for his own wedding. But he's so inspired he invents Flubber, a form of pure, mischievous energy that can endow anything it touches with the gift of flight. The only real laugh comes when Williams kneels sobbing over the battered casing of his computerized companion, Weebo. Otherwise, this "comedy" is a sad, sad affair.
