The Bubble is a comedy about a group of actors and actresses stuck inside a pandemic bubble at a hotel attempting to complete a sequel to an action franchise film about flying dinosaurs. (Netflix)
Reviews (2)
Does anyone know why even ordinary comedies today have to be longer than two hours? Karen Gillan and Pedro Pascal have comedic talent to spare, and they made me laugh a few times (KG especially in the pushup scene, PP probably anytime), but for every good scene in The Bubble there's an embarrassing one, which means an average result. It’s a long way from This Is The End, let along Tropic Thunder.

This satire feels a lot like Don’t Look Up, another Netflix release, but this time the target is Hollywood and COVID. Unfortunately, the result is mostly dull and unfunny. There are a few moments that might make you smile, but overall, I found myself not really enjoying it. There were scenes that felt like they were supposed to have me in stitches, but the laughs just didn’t come. Instead, it was mostly awkward, which is surprising considering Judd Apatow is behind it.
