Strange... yet enjoyable

You'll watch this and feel like you've seen it before.Jake Gylenhaal in a goofy, funnier role.This has all the typical silly gags of this era yet still has some wholesomeness to it.This was my first introduction to Beetlejuice, who I found terrifying back then but the more I looked int, is actually hilarious.This is a fun, dumb, flick.I can understand why people hate it as comedy as always been a hard one to master.It's either too juvenile or too serious.This falls into the juvenile category but may still get some laughs.Worth the watch if you're sick of the seriousness of the world and need an easy laugh.

light hearted and funny

When watching movies late at night this one is a funny one to check out. It adds amusing scenes with naive love. Jimmy is a boy stuck in a bubble since childbirth and becomes friends with the girl next door. His mother who is over bearing calls the girl dirty names but allows their relationship because of his bubble. When the girl leaves the town to get married to the wrong guy Jimmy must find a way to get to Niagra Falls to stop the marriage.This movie is a series of incidents in which Jimmy happens to bump into the right person at the right time to get to the next stage in his journey. With the culmination of all the parties getting to the wedding when he gets there, finding out he's (gasp) got *immunities* all along, and his exit with Pappy, Pippy, and Poonanny makes Bubble Boy a hilarious comedy that is great for you late nighters.
