Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews, the film would be a remake of the film The Absent - Minded Professor from 1961 and that he find it amusing that the producers would call the older film as a classic. He praised highly the representation of Robin Williams, but was otherwise little positive on the comedy and wrote that the film would be designed solely for children under 10.
