Bubble Boy (2001)
2/10
Man, why why why?
7 December 2002
When I first saw the trailer for this I thought it was gonna be one of those not-so-stellar over-the-top comedies of lately. And indeed I was correct upon viewing it. There wasn't any major stars in it which was quite good for this low budget film.

There were many things I didn't like in this movie because it felt like it didn't flow and was illogical at some places. for instance, how could a boy (Jake Gyllenhaal) makes friends with a biker gang, a cult group of Todd and Lorraine, and Dr Phreak's people all coming together at the end to cheer on the poor boy for his courageous efforts to win the heart of the girl (Marley Shelton) whom he met at his house for a short duration.

Running a mere 84 mins, which I wanted to end faster, I really don't think this movie should deserve any praise simply because it's not funny when you poke fun at children who are immunodeficient. I'm pretty sure some people/critics find the movie overall to be quite funny, I on the other hand didn't. In fact, I don't know how this movie got made in the first place, let alone the drafting stage.

I'm only gonna be generous in the rating only because of the busty girls at that "500 dolla" place.
