This bad remake to the bad 1961 original stars Harry Anderson as Henry Crawford who is [you guessed it] an absent-minded professor. His girlfriend [the beautiful Mary Page Kellar] keeps get mad at him because he is always spending time with his experiments and not her. Henry's life gets worse when he discovers Flubber, a gooey substance that devies gravity. He hopes that showing Flubber to Ellen with repair their relationshp, but it doesn't and they break up. If it had a happier ending it could have been better, the ending just messes it all up.
