La bulle

Both directors have made much better movies; go watch one of those instead.

Designed as a diversion from the frustrations of COVID, the 40 Year Old Virgin director's unruly meta-movie mostly just reminds us how miserable we were to be locked in.

The Bubble was meant to be a pandemic lark, a fun antidote to the virus. But it's a cure for nothing.

In the end, Judd Apatow's The Bubble is clearly a lark for the director. It was probably born out of lockdown-inspired boredom, but Apatow is always able to assemble a fun cast, and there is some good stuff in here even if it's at least half-hour too long.

What starts as a high energy snark fest turns into a plodding dino-snore.
