Bubble Boy (2001)
7/10
light hearted and funny
21 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
When watching movies late at night this one is a funny one to check out. It adds amusing scenes with naive love. Jimmy is a boy stuck in a bubble since childbirth and becomes friends with the girl next door. His mother who is over bearing calls the girl dirty names but allows their relationship because of his bubble. When the girl leaves the town to get married to the wrong guy Jimmy must find a way to get to Niagra Falls to stop the marriage.

This movie is a series of incidents in which Jimmy happens to bump into the right person at the right time to get to the next stage in his journey. With the culmination of all the parties getting to the wedding when he gets there, finding out he's (gasp) got *immunities* all along, and his exit with Pappy, Pippy, and Poonanny makes Bubble Boy a hilarious comedy that is great for you late nighters.

Great Movie!!!
5 February 2005
I believe this has to be one of the best Nick Cage movies I've ever seen! With an all-star cast including Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Duvall, and Angelina Jolie you can't go wrong with this movie.

There are some cheesy scenes I will admit. But to keep the storyline going with romance and car chases this has to be admitted.

A remake from the 1974 movie is one of the few remakes that is greatly better than the original. The final car sequence with it jumping over 150-200 yards of back-up is slightly overdone but still get's your blood pumping. Fast action coupled with funny one-liners make this a great movie. Any one looking for a fast action movie with sexy cars and tons of adrenaline pumping in your veins you came to the right movie.

Ending criticism: If you like car chase/action movies this is one to get your blood pumping! (Two thumbs up!!)
