Professor Phillip Brainard, an absent minded professor, works with his assistant Weebo, trying to create a substance that's a new source of energy and that will save Medfield College where his sweetheart Sara is the president. He has missed his wedding twice, and on the afternoon of his third wedding, Professor Brainard creates flubber, which allows objects to fly through the air.

VIBE

This film feels like a sugar rush of inventive chaos, bursting with zany energy and a delightfully whimsical spirit. It's a lighthearted, frenetic ride through the unpredictable world of a brilliant, bumbling mind, where scientific mishaps lead to uproarious, feel-good fun. Expect a charmingly silly, visually playful experience.
