La burbuja

A mixed-bag Hollywood comedy, suffering from the usual complaint which is that all the best scenes are in the trailer. This one offers a broad satire of filmmaking in the COVID era, with a lot of lockdowns, bubbles and hygiene-following. A sprawling ensemble cast are efficient in their roles, some funnier than others, but sadly the wit tends to be bypassed in favour of dumber sex or vomit gags. I did enjoy the dancing scenes and the CGI jokes, however.

Well let me be the guy that found The Bubble to be funny. After reading the first page of reviews on here and looking at the poor ratings it gets I'm glad I had a different experience with this comedy. There are a lot of funny scenes, absurd sometimes but does everything has to be that serious all the time? They clearly made more than once fun of the pandemic and that was also nice to see there are still people that are not completely paranoid or just don't give a toss about the whole brainwashing we got. Plus the cast was very well chosen for this movie. I liked almost everybody if not everybody. They all did a good job, added something different to the story, and were all funny. I don't know if I have better weed than anybody else but I had a good time, and so did my wife who never has weed.

Premise had a lot of potential. The cast are talented. The film is just not very good. It's poorly paced and the gags are flat. Could've been great with a rewrite that included actual jokes and slicker dialogue.

Not a good film by any measure.

Watched this film at Paris theater in NYC aka the Netflix Theater. Without spoiling much, I will just that this film is not very funny. Contrary, it's long, it's got too many characters, the storyline is very vague and confusing, and the jokes are not there. Judd Apatow was bragging about finishing the script in 8 weeks, and honestly it really felt so.

Seeing the stars in this and the writer/director it came from, I'm honestly stunned at how bad this was. The Bubble is an extremely tedious watch that has almost no genuine comedy in it. About an hour in, I realized the film must be close to over, but nope. There was over an hour more of the same jokes and same setting left to suffer through. It tries to be self-aware, however the ultimate irony is Judd Apatow casting his wife and daughter in this film while simultaneously trying to lambast how ridiculous Hollywood is.
