Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film was a remake of The Absent-Minded Professor from 1961 and that he found it amusing that the producers were calling the older film a "classic." He highly praised the portrayal of Robin Williams, but otherwise found little positive in the comedy and wrote that the film was designed exclusively for viewers under 10 years of age.

Cinema 3/1998 described the film as "antiquated" and "useless". TV Today 6/1998 wrote that the film was "weird only for toddlers". TV Movie 6/1998 criticized the plot and the bad special effects.

"Turbulent, occasionally too noisy remake of the Disney comedy" The Flying Pauker "from 1961. With the help of modern special effects, the largely entertaining family film cleverly uses the surface charms of the story, but can of course never achieve the old-fashioned charm of the original."
