An outrageously silly movie, yet very funny and at times touching. It's a very unconventional and crazy cast of characters, and filled with adventure as a guy born without immunities sets out across the country in a plastic bubble to be with the girl he loves.
January 1, 2008I thought this movie was pretty funny and sometimes sad that someone who was born without immunity would just live in an isolation bubble in his room for mostly his whole life it really must feel like that he's a prisoner his whole life. The bubble boy is headed out to niagra falls to stop a wedding and purpose to a girl he's madly inlove with. He meets alot of people on the road bikers hippies freaks and they all are willing to help bubble boy out. The ending was pretty insane though but has a real happy ending. Did he ever get out of his bubble? see the movie and find out. The only thing I hate is the punk rock music in this movie I hate punk rock I would not buy the sound track I would Buy the movie.
June 9, 2007This was just a great time, a farce with perfect timing and pitch--crazy characters all around doing expected and sometimes unexpected things. Brought all the parties together nicely at the end, and used well the opportunity to poke fun at just about everybody. Jakey's goofy grin, bedroom eyes and overall innocence... what a killer combo! The "$500!" back-and-forth sequences had me on the floor, and I don't know how they did that with a straight face.
February 8, 2007"Five Hundred Dollars!" This movie is a classic. I can sum it up in one word, "Beetlejuice". Not the movie, the actor who gained fame (?) on Howard Stern. He cracks me up. The cast as a whole takes the premise of the movie seriously and that leads to some over the top performances, especially the mother as played by Swoosie Kurtz. Sit Down, Press Play, and Start Laughing.

I finally got over my snobbery to actually watch this movie and I'm so glad that I did. True the premise get a little old somewhere around the middle, but Gyllenhaal keeps you interested and emotionally invested--a sign of a truelly good actor. Warning: you need to be in a goofy mood to enjoy this film. Recommended.
