I just watched it. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this for a long time because I’ve been a big Jake Gyllenhaal fan since I saw Donnie Darko. It was very goofy and very funny, just make sure you’re in the mood for a goofy movie when you watch it. It has lots of silly characters, many of which you’ll likely recognize from other movies.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Innocuous, innocent, and somewhat idiotic, Disney's bubbleheaded road-movie comedy plays as a farcical remake of the 1976 cult TV-movie melodrama The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. Jake Gyllenhaal is the goodhearted innocent raised in a sort of human Habitrail of plastic rooms and rubber tunnels. To win back the girl of his dreams (Marley Shelton), he steps out of his indoor greenhouse and into a homemade Ziplock bubble suit. It's the usual story: naive innocent bounces down the highway like a beach ball with legs and wins over the wacky supporting cast of soft-hearted bikers, zombielike teenage cultists, and orphaned "freaks" through purity and pluck. The premise wears thin after a while, but Gyllenhaal keeps the film bounding along with goofy innocence and energetic eagerness. Swoosie Kurtz costars as his religious-zealot clinging mom. Watch for Fabio in an inspired cameo. --Sean Axmaker

I finally saw this movie and I was laughing my butt of throughout the whole thing! I love Jake G. and he does comedy really well. 500 dollars!! 500 dollars!!! LOL

Anyway, I wasn't expecting a lot out of this movie, but if you're looking for a fun silly movie, this is it. The mom was freaking hilarious, too. Fun fun fun!!!
