Bubble (2005)
Just plain bad!
This must be what happens when talented filmmakers decide to "phone it in". I think there must be some sort of mistake on the credits. The man who brought us such incredible movies at "Out of Sight" and "Traffic" couldn't have possibly been responsible for such an amateurish product. In independent film-making, inexpensive doesn't necessarily mean bad, but in this case, it does. Shot on the cheap in digital, this movie highlights a complete cast of non-actors, which only works to make a slow paced who-done-it even slower. I've seen more believable performances on an episode of "Big Brother" This flick makes student films look good, and I'm talking about Jr. High students. One strong suggestion to the filmmakers...Hire actors! (did I mention, all the performers are beginners! something you can accept with child actors, but not with adults!) One strong suggestion to the audience ... stay away!

I was embarrassed at how much I laughed...
I just saw this movie at a theater in Chicago with a small but energetic group of 20-somethings. I thought, "Hey, some mindless entertainment for an hour or so", and I must say, I was delightfully surprised at how genuinely funny this movie turned out to be. There are a few moments that you find yourself doing that little groan-then-snicker( I won't give away any punchlines) , and you are embarrassed that you let yourself belly laugh at few envelope-pushing jokes, but that's what makes little sleepers like this so fun to discover. Great cast (David Deluise should have his own series), fun script, and I look forward to seeing it again when it hits cable.
