Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I was actually one of the few who saw this movie in the theaters 10 years ago. I thank Seinfeld for spawning this movie. If he hadn't "broke the ice" with HIS bubble boy, we would have never been able to enjoy this one. First off, this movie offends EVERYBODY! Its great, all stereotypes are represented here. But its all done in a tasteful way. Hey! Its camp, that's what they do! If your one of those uptight, politically correct types who doesn't know how to laugh at yourself or others, you probably will be offended. But honestly, you were going to get offended by anything anyhow. Glad to see it on TV today. We need more people in this country affected by this courageous BUBBLE BOY!

So I was expecting for me to think this was the dumbest movie ever, but I was pleasantly surprised with how entertained I was. While incredibly ridiculous and unbelievable, it was pretty funny and interesting. Jake Gyllenhaal was slightly miscast in my opinion, but still delivered a quirky and charming performance as the "Bubble boy". Really, all the supporting characters were hilarious as well. Perhaps some of the humor is a bit too "out there" for everyone, but I think some people will appreciate the film's creativity and originality. While still following the rom-com formula, this movie is still a step above and a breath of fresh air.

This movie along with several Cohen Brothers, Marx Brothers, and Mel Brooks and Woody Allen movies rank as the funniest movies ever to be produced. How anyone could not laugh all the way through this (and be touched by the wonderful ending) is not comprehensible. You must see this movie is you like to laugh. If you laughed at Napoleon Dynamite please do not even try to understand any other movie. Jake G. did Donnie Darko in the same year (2001). I like both these movies. But Darko will leave you depressed and wondering what the heck did I see during these 2 hours? However, in Bubble boy you will be uplifted by his spirit and accomplishments and the great ending. Try both, but I suggest seeing Darko FIRST then watch Bubble boy to get your spirits back up. ENJOY BOTH!

Oh my goodness. How can people give this an F? I thought it was pretty good. It was SO funny. Extremely creative and a lot of laughs.No Gyllenhaal fan can give Bubble Boy an F. I'm a huge Gyllenhaal fan. He did such a great job with the facial expressions and all. I never thought I would see Jake Gyllenhaal be funny... but he really was. I'd like to see him do some more comedies. I like this goofy stuff of his. He pulls of the wacky hair-do wonderfully. Nobody else could have played the role better.The story got just slightly confusing with Pappy and Poonanny.But I still absolutely love Bubble Boy.[ I would have put exclamation marks && more capitalization in this but it's considered 'shouting'. I love this movie. ]
