Bubble Boy
I am so outdated and I am trying to catch up on as many old movies as I can. Saw Bubble Boy the other day! Lol, where was I back in 2001? My husband didn’t believe me when I told him I haven’t saw the movie. Have you saw the movie? Just tell me I wasn’t the only outdated one. Anyway, I think this is a very funny movie though it seems weird to see Jake Gyllenhaal acting in a comedy (I’ve seen Brokeback Mountain!) Haha, I think I must adjust the chronological order of my movie watching. If you haven’t already saw it, Bubble Boy is about Jimmy Livingston who was born without immunities and raised in a sanitized plastic bubble by his well-intentioned but misguided mother.
When his best friend, Chloe went to Niagara Falls to wed her fiancΓ©, Jimmy sets out across the country few days later in a plastic bubble to win her. The quest saw him made that Las Vegas travel with Slim, a friendly biker, where he plan to win enough money to get Jimmy to Niagara Falls. Along the way, he also meets a variety of oddball characters who assist in various ways. This is a very silly movie but yet very funny and at times touching. The movie was labeled crap by critics but I LOVE it.
Next movie in line: Amy (2001).
