Thinking about it l wouldn’t mind too much myself. Anyway back to the wonderful world of Flubber. This light-hearted comedy is suitable for the whole family as Robin Williams portrays an absent-minded professor who relies on a robot called weebo. So wrapped up in his world of inventions he constantly forgets things, which includes getting married to his girlfriend Sara.
