Not the Nutty Professor
As a science fiction film, The Absent-Minded Professor from 1961 is one of the goofiest yet most enduring children’s movie made for grown-ups. I distinctly remember the experience I had watching the film as a little boy and identifying with the students with the new stuff on their... Read full review »
Fred MacMurray Flies High in The Absent-Minded Professor
My dad is a college computer science instructor, and like me, he has a tendency to be a bit scatter-brained. Hence, it is not a stretch to label him an absent-minded professor. However, he's got nothing on Fred MacMurray's title character in the 1961 Robert Stevenson-directed Disney movie The... Read full review »
The Original Flubber
I love comedies. What I dislike though is people who KNOW they are funny, being rather unfunny by simply mugging their way through a film. I also hate productions that try to cash in on a famous comedian by producing low level "entertainment" by providing a low quality script and going cheap on the... Read full review »

Nothing Absent In Comic Genius At All.
I have mixed feelings being the first to review this piece of comic genius. Like any critic-whoare, I am glad to crack the first piece of cinematic vagina.

The Absent-Minded Professor [VHS]
Even computer enhanced with unnecessary color, the original, 1961 version of this film is bound to be a hundred times funnier than the bland remake, Flubber. Fred MacMurray is charming as the eccentric college professor who discovers a gooey substance with sustainable energy. Everything about this movie clicks in a way Flubber didn't, particularly the effort by director Robert Stevenson (a Disney favorite who made Mary Poppins, That Darn Cat, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and many other hits for the studio) to create comic tension between MacMurray's gentlemanly performance and the slapstick set pieces. The famous basketball scene (in which some of the players don't realize they have flubber on the soles of their shoes) is perfectly choreographed and exceptionally funny for kids. --Tom Keogh
