- Jake Gyllenhaal is a young man who was born without an immune system and has lived his life within a plastic bubble in his bedroom.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's a shame if the controversy surrounding Bubble Boy distracts people from what a smart, subversive, and genuinely good-hearted film it is"
-
"'Bubble' Boy simply has the gall to make light of one of the last untouchable left in America: disease"
-
"Belongs to that genre of movie that works hard to achieve a certain twisted and demented wit."
-
"After enduring only a few minutes of this shrill debacle, you'll feel more trapped in the theater than Jimmy is by his bubble."
