Flubber

On the verge of losing his girlfriend (Marcia Gay Harden) and his job at a cash-strapped college, scatterbrained professor Phillip Brainard (Robin Williams) and his robot assistant accidentally invent a new, super-bouncy material called Flubber. The substance stands to save the day — that is, if Brainard can defeat the many rivals who try to sabotage him. Wil Wheaton co-stars in this remake of the 1961 Disney classic The Absent-Minded Professor.
