The Bubble - 6/10
the social commentary is good. taking a piss out of both the film industry and covid is refreshing. hopefully we will look back on the last two years like this film does with utter disdain and complete mockery of everything we did and were subjected to. i enjoyed Gillan and Pascal quite a bit.
that said for a 2 hour comedy most of the gags didnt land and its a bit of a mess that doesnt know how to end, a point the film is aware of and might make for an unintentional allegory.
lots of good cameos though...still ultimately this is basically Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back complete with dick jokes and weed humor.
Apatows best work might be behind him.
