 SPLICEDwire | "Bubble Boy" review (2001) Blair Hayes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marley Shelton, Swoosie Kurtz, Danny Trejo
Gyllenhaal's talent may not be fully appreciated in the course of the movie however, because "Bubble Boy" is 84 minutes of mirthfully unfettered lunacy that leaves no joke unturned and therefore no time to admire the nuances of an ingenious comic performance.
Born with a busted immune system, Jimmy Livingston (Gyllenhaal) has lived his whole life inside a hermetically-sealed playpen of a bedroom, watched over incessantly by his paranoid, overprotective, arch-conservative mother (the fantastic Swoosie Kurtz) who is determined to keep him "safe from that evil, filthy world" outside his window.
Even with its shortcomings, "Bubble Boy" is still the best off-the-wall comedy of the summer.
