The Bubble

"The Bubble boasts a strong cast of comic players... but no one ever develops their character beyond a superficial depiction of selfishness and insecurity."

"There just aren’t enough funny lines to carry this film through its punishing 126-minute running time."

"Where The Bubble really shines is in its humorous reflection of that all-too-rare thing nowadays—a collective experience."

"The Bubble crystallises the unique pain of watching a woefully dated satire about the same crisis you’re still trying to outlast."

"The usually empathetic director offers up a Netflix comedy as soulless as the industry impulses it’s spoofing..."

"A fleetingly amusing but largely bad movie..."

"Stringing together a set of skits and calling it a movie isn’t the worst thing in the world... but at least some of the skits have to be funny."

"There’s plenty of comedy fodder in Hollywood any day of the week. Apatow just isn’t the guy to exploit it."

"It almost immediately runs out of steam and flaps about lethargically... one of Apatow’s worst."

"An overabundance of celebrity cameos and some incoherence aside, The Bubble succeeds because it is just so damn fun."

"There’s at least one breakout in every Apatow movie, and... Instagram impressionist (Trevaldwyn) all but steals The Bubble..."

"A talented ensemble of performers means you’re never too far away from your next laugh."
