Review of Bubble Boy (2001) by Matthew B — 14 Jun 2008
I just saw this movie for the first time late last night on WGN (a channel I accidentally discovered). Let me start by admitting that I am a sucker for romcom's but I really liked this movie. So much in fact that I was willing to sit through the five minute infomercials they had during T.
V. breaks just so I didn't miss anything. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a lovable, boyish character whose earnest and wondering nature get him in more trouble than good. Sure, it's kinda' sappy, but I found all the characters in the movie to be real typecasts.
.. people I can identify in my own world, and I have to believe that love can conquer all adversities, which is the moral of the story. Everyone seems to slam Jake in this movie but I thought he played the part admirably.
Full marks!!!
