I thought this was rather funny and wanted to share it with you guys. I am sitting here as I write, reading the new issue of Entertainment magazine. It's a line up of the new movies to come out this summer and one struck my eye. The movie is called "Bubble Boy." Is this funny or what? It stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Swoosie Kurtz, Marley Shelton, Danny Trejo, and John Carroll Lynch (none ring a bell to me).
This is the article: No, this only sounds like a feature length version of a Seinfeld epiosde. It's closer to The Boy in the Plastic Bubble goes AWOL. Like that 1976 John Travolta TV movie, it's the story of an immunodeficient young man (Gyllenhaal) who grows up in a germ-free-environment - only this time he bursts out to chase the girl of his dreams (Shelton). The comedy tracks the bubble-suited Jimmy'squest from suburban California to Niagara Falls, a journey fraught with loony encounters. "I'm falling over waterfalls, flying in an airplane, and being tossed off motorcycles," says Gyllenhaal, who had to wear a 40-pound costume during most of the shoot. "I did a lot of the stunts because the bubble makes it safer to hit the ground." The doorway to the makeup trailer must have been a killer, though.
The picture is hilarious! The guy is in a plastic bubble. How good can this movie really be though? Hmmm...We'll just have to see...
