 Good Neighbor Sam—clean, comical romp—has potential to be suggestive but plays out clean. Watch for the late legend, Edward G. Robinson as Simon Nurdlinger. This is an easy-on-the-mind watch. No unwanted surprises. Storyline Additional Thanks  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Yes. It has that typical Jack Lemmon comedy style all wrapped up in a clean, honest romp. |
The Absent-Minded Professor—the original film for the Robin Williams’ movie, Flubber—serves a very watchable black and white version of its story that stars a solid performance by Fred MacMurray. The well-written script has many elements that were directly transported into its remake. The black and white treatment is welcome. The conclusion is upbeat and leaves a nice aftertaste.
