The Bubble
Director/writer Judd Apatow casts his wife Leslie Mann & daughter Iris in his latest screwball comedy about making a cheesy sci-fi monster film during the COVID pandemic. Not only does this over-the-top comedy poke fun of the film industry’s studio executives, directors, script writers, actors, & film crew, but it also shines a humorous light on dealing with the restrictions & precautions in coping with this viral infection. Among the ensemble cast of crazies are Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, David Duchovny, Keegan-Michael Key, Fred Armisen, & Kate McKinnon along with some surprise cameos. Apatow takes us behinds the scenes of filmmaking as these celebrity personalities clash. Depending on your sense of humor, it may or may not tickle your funny bone.
Alien gives it 2½ “Cliff Beasts 6” stars out of 4.
