Synopsis
Jake Gyllenhaal is a young man who was born without an immune system and has lived his life within a plastic bubble in his bedroom. When he finds out that the woman he has loved since childhood (Marley Shelton) is about to be married at Niagara Falls, he builds a portable bubble suit and ventures into the outside world to win her affections.
Critics' reviews
- "It's a shame if the controversy surrounding Bubble Boy distracts people from what a smart, subversive, and genuinely good-hearted film it is"
- "'Bubble' Boy simply has the gall to make light of one of the last untouchable left in America: disease"
- "Belongs to that genre of movie that works hard to achieve a certain twisted and demented wit."
- "After enduring only a few minutes of this shrill debacle, you'll feel more trapped in the theater than Jimmy is by his bubble."
