Synopsis:
From the producer of the outrageous AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, BUBBLE BOY is the hilarious, laugh-out-loud comedy about a sheltered young man (Jake Gyllenhaal -- OCTOBER SKY) who breaks all the rules on a wild adventure to get the girl of his dreams! Though 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, SUGAR & SPICE) 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!

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Not only is the Immune Deficiency Foundation upset over Disney's Bubble Boy, so are many film critics. Jami Bernard in the New York Daily News recalls that at a recent press screening of this utterly offensive black comedy, there were rumbles of dissatisfaction, culminating in one critic's anguished cry, 'Is this movie the Devil?' Stephen Hunter in the Washington Post calls it the meanest-spirited film ever associated with the Disney hallmark.

Jami Bernard in the New York Daily News recalls that at a recent press screening of this utterly offensive black comedy, there were rumbles of dissatisfaction, culminating in one critic's anguished cry, 'Is this movie the Devil?' Stephen Hunter in the Washington Post calls it the meanest-spirited film ever associated with the Disney hallmark. Bob Longino in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution adds this bit of vitriol: It's a travesty -- a sad, badly made, badly written little flick full of outrageously gross gags, insipid jokes and tasteless visual puns. And Jonathan Foreman in the New York Post comments that the movie leaves you feeling like you've swallowed something rancid. The movie was particularly hard to swallow for Good Morning America critic Joel Siegel. The ending, he says, is a kick in the stomach to anyone who's battling a life-threatening illness. (Siegel is.)
