Plot Summary
BUBBLE BOY is the hilarious, laugh-out-loud comedy about a sheltered young man (Jake Gyllenhaal — Prince Of Persia) who breaks all the rules on a wild adventure to get the girl of his dreams. Although he’s lived his entire life within the confines of a protective plastic bubble and under the ever-watchful eye of his overprotective mother (Swoosie Kurtz — Get Over It), Jimmy Livingston (Gyllenhaal) never thought that he’d missed out on anything — until the girl next door (Marley Shelton — Valentine, Never Been Kissed) ran off to get married in Niagara Falls. With the wedding only days away, Jimmy has no choice but to build a mobile “bubble suit” and set off across the country to stop the wedding and confess his love to her.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: When it clicks, the picture should shock you into laughter -- enough to make you wish it were better and applaud its efforts anyway.
Rotten: After enduring only a few minutes of this shrill debacle, you'll feel more trapped in the theater than Jimmy is by his bubble.
Rotten: Seldom has a more misguided movie escaped from a major studio than Touchstone's Bubble Boy.
Rotten: Hollywood monstrosities all, and boy are they scary!
Customer Reviews
Five hundred dollar!
I first saw this movie while i was sick home in bed. I don't know if it was because i was already delirious with a fever, but i really enjoyed this film. It's a stupid, fun flick, that's really enjoyable. If you're in the mood for a witty, intelligent, comedy - avoid this, however if you're just up for a fun film that leaves you with a pleasant 'happy movie' feel, then grab this one.
Excellent comedy
This movie was so dumb that it made sense. Really good comedic timing. If you don't take it seriously, this movie is worth buying. Even for 9.99
Pretty average.
Three stars may be a little harsh (Personally, I'd prefer 3.5), but this movie is not exactly a comedy classic. Don't get me wrong, there are a few good scenes, and several parts I laughed out loud at, but I can't see myself wanting to see this movie over and over again. My recommendation? Rent it.
