Bubble Boy

source: Bubble Boy

i went into this movie not expecting much (seeing the low rating and poor reviews...) but ended up really enjoying it. there were many funny parts and never a dull moment. although, i must admit, many parts were quite silly, but that's the point. This movie isn't some deep philosophy masterpiece, it's BUBBLE BOY, a comedy with a generic storyline (boy doesn't tell girl how he feels, girl is about to marry another man, boy goes to stop the wedding). This was a feel good movie, with a nice happy ending. i can't believe jake gyllenhaal would take on such a role, but he did... and it turned out alright. i recommend this to people who just want an entertaining movie... don't go into this expecting too much, and you won't be disappointed.

This has got to be the funniest movie i have ever seen besides having one of the best one-liners at the end. I think this movie was underappreciated and more people should see more of its comedic aspects and it is to my belief that it would be enjoyed by more people.

this is one of the funniest, feel good movies I have ever seen. Furthermore, it is a deep movie there somewhere under all the funny stuff. Know this, it gets better and funnier as the movie progresses. And Bettlejuice, Bigfoot and mini me are really funny too.

writing is basically in the style of national lampoon type. funny moments are every so often. mrs. kurtz definitely breaks her usual mold. She starts out being religious, but with mentioning of other cast members, you can tell she has a past. interaction between the bubble boy and hot chick is nice. you almost wish he had let her inside the bubble when she was drunk. the interaction with slim and bubble rocks. the religious cult freaks are simply funny as hell. you know when they boot him, that they will need him back. i am going to hell, the funniest line in the movie. ice cream and curry, what a mix. watching the religious cult become curry freaks at the end rocks.

Like I said, nothing bad to say about this movie... It's one of those that you can watch over and over again and still not catch every joke, or catch- OK, maybe after the 5th or 6th time you will. Depending on what you like. If you like quirky stuff and you think laffy taffy jokes are funny, you will love this movie!!! Jake is great in this flick. He goes along with his crazy mom until his love moves away to get married, then he must go search for her- from the comforts of his bubble suit- How romantic!!! Also, you will love the cameo appearances. If you want to waste an hour and a half of your life, but still laugh the whole time, go see it!!!

I found this movie to be very much in the vein of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure or Edward Scissor-hands. I can see how it would not appeal to a lot of people, but just note that the performances are good and the story is cute. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. It's only a movie and I for one thought it was rather fun. It was surely better than Shallow Hal! That's mho.

I must admit that the trailer for this movie made it seem rather unappealing. I only began watching it, expecting to find it uninteresting and turning it off in a few minutes. However, this turned out not to be the case. I found the humor relatively original and funny. I laughed out loud on several occasions, and though the ending was a piece of necessary cheese, I was overall satisfied by the movie. It's worth seeing if it comes on TV and you have nothing else to do.

This movie is now in my top 10 all time favorite movies. It had a hidden story about acknowledgment, understanding, and compassion that was touching. I loved this movie and bought the DVD to watch over and over again. Good job and thanks for making this film.
