What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Yeah, readers, you'll want to vote 10 after seeing this!!!!!Disney made a sequel to the "Absent-Minded Professor" movie in 1963 called "Son of Flubber," where our professor is making another experiment! If I remember correctly, it probably had to do with loud sounds; I remember the "Auld Lang Syne Insurance" window breaking, then someone dotted one of the "I"s thereafter even though the glass was broken!!!!!I've seen this in B&W on an old VHS in 1996, and in a colorized form on the Old Disney Channel in 2000 or so.Come to think of it, I remember that instead of basketball, football was involved in this movie! Someone kicks the football high out of the stadium ("It looks like it's going into orbit!!!!!") and after the last conversation, we see a satellite, then that football orbiting the earth before we see "The End, A Walt Disney Production" over the Earth."Son of Flubber" - now that's nice!!!!!10/10

Proving that the Disney Studios didn't become cash-mongers simply in the Michael Eisner era, this sequel to the 1961 Disney hit "The Absent Minded Prodessor" is nothing more than repackaged goods. Lamebrained slapstick comedy has Fred MacMurray returning to role of small town inventor who attempts to save the local high school from ruin. There are a few funny digs at the advertising business but, as with the original, MacMurray's love life problems and his run-ins with the law are utterly dull. Colorful supporting cast (Jack Albertson, Joanna Moore, Paul Lynde, William Demarest) looks like a who's-who of suburban comedies, and the movie is fairly easy to sit through if you don't mind completely innocuous fare, but even the special effects are mechanical. ** from ****

Son of FlubberFred MacMurray returns to his famous role of a wacky, absent-minded professor who invents a strange substance that he calls "flubber." In this sequel (the strangely named "Son of"), he does little but jump through the same hoops.Entertaining, but not fresh.2.5/5 stars.John Ulmer

This is the sequel to "The Absent Minded Professor" [1961]. Slower, and more uneven. The "Absent Minded Professor" was mainly a one-joke affair; Fred MacMurray's fantastic invention "flubber", and by the time "Son of Flubber" came out, it had worn a bit thin. For instance, the SoF copied the AMP with a sports contest. In AMP it was the basketball game half-way through, but in SOF it was a football game as the grand finale [which shows you the tired plot line]. It does have its moments, though...watch for Paul Lynde as the sportscaster, as well as the father/son team of Ed and Keenan Wynn.
