Movies: Bubble Boy
This is one of two 'bad' but funny movies which my brother recommended to me a while ago (the first one I saw and commented on a few months ago). It stars Jake Gyllenhaal who does a pretty amazing job as the naive teenager who has lived in a bubble room at home all his life, but now in love with the girl next door. The movie is sweet, endearing and very funny. Many things are incredibly predicable but I didn't find that to lessen their charm that much. It almost seemed like all the 'surprise' things were very much intended to be guessed in advance so I felt more in on a joke than ahead of the movie. ***1/2
