The Bubble Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
The film is best in its embrace of the random, its moments when the talented and funny cast goof off with each other, responding to one another's eccentricities.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Overlong and excruciatingly unfunny.
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
Doesn't bring anything new or especially satisfying to the genre, going for gently absurd rather than truly savage in its ridicule of the rich and famous.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
The targets here are depressingly easy: the narcissism of actors, the mindlessness of special-effects movies, the even greater mindlessness of TikTok videos.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
Apatow seems stymied by his soft targets: The usual-suspect jokes - about age, ego, Hollywood - are broad where they should be specific, and smug even when they're not sharp.
AV Club
Luke Y. Thompson
Even if the characters on screen didn't become better artists during the pandemic, then Apatow at least should have. With The Bubble, he seems to have mistaken jokes about moviemaking for moviemaking that shouldn't be taken seriously.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Blunderbuss parody and over two hours of it. You have been warned.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Released more than two years into a global crisis that continues to surprise us with fun new twists every time we get cocky, The Bubble crystallizes the unique pain of watching a woefully dated satire about the same crisis you're still trying to outlast.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Apatow's movie sinks under the weight of its own farcical execution.
Observer
Oliver Jones
It has nothing new or insightful to add to the discourse, and instead seems comfortable recycling jokes that weren't funny when we first encountered them on Twitter two years ago.
Newsday
Robert Levin
There's an undercurrent of desperation in the frenzied dialogue readings and hamming for the camera, as if the skilled people assembled here somehow implicitly felt the need to compensate for the writing by forcing things.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The satire is scattershot and the humor often forced, but the anger feels authentic and personal.
Los Angeles Times
Jessica Kiang
A movie so staggeringly unfunny as to be barely recognizable as comedy at all.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
A slapdash comedy with an embarrassment of misused talent.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
The Bubble puts its own budget on full display throughout, yet rarely makes that a target of its satire.
Polygon
Katie Rife
The Bubble is composed mainly of long, excruciating sequences where everyone is trying very hard and producing zero laughs, like people trying to start a fire by rubbing two wet sticks together.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The boredom the cast endures sitting around in isolation begins to spread to the viewer, overcoming the over-the-top efforts of Leslie Mann, David Duchovny, Keegan-Michael Key, Pedro Pascal, Iris Apatow and many, many celebrity cameos.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's understandable why Apatow, faced with the shutdown of his industry, wanted to make something during his sudden downtime. But "The Bubble" already feels like an artifact from a time we'd rather forget.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Apatow knows comedy, and his intentions here are good. It's just the movie that isn't.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Perhaps to make up for the feebleness of the story, the actors are directed to be as broad as possible.
