The Bubble is not funny. There are jokes. Some of them even land.
But they land the way the final bite of a too-rich dessert land, nauseatingly and full of regret. Judd Apatow's pandemic comedy is out on Netflix today and has an A-list cast that should make any contemporary film and/or TV lover effectively froth at the mouth. Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, Keegan-Michael Key, Maria Bakalova, Fred Armisen – the list, quite literally, goes on.
From beloved TV comedians (Guz Khan) to bonafide movie star cameos (Benedict Cumberbatch), The Bubble has them all. What it has in cast though it lacks in. .
. well, everything else. The writing is so aggressively tongue-in-cheek your face starts to ache.
There are only so many times we can listen to real-life multi-millionaire actors play fictional multi-millionaire actors who whine about being locked up in a literal mansion, being waited on hand and foot (even if those doing the waiting are a bit weird) – while simultaneously bemoaning in their faux-self-effacing way that they know they haven't got it too bad – before you want to jab something sharp in your eye. There is such a thing as too much self-awareness, and The Bubble is full of it. Even the so-called voice of the audience (ie, all the characters that aren't actors) spout lowest-common-denominator commentary about these A-list celebrities.
Apatow tries to cover all bases of those impacted by the pandemic. A grandmother dies. A waitress is a hero for risking her life to serve food.
The horniness that has no outlet (unless of course, you're Matt Hancock). The fundamental problem is that the divide The Bubble is pointing out with a neon 'LAUGH NOW' sign is very real and very unfunny. Those with enough money have been able to bend

Uncharted,” “Jungle Cruise” and “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” in the discouraging trend of demeaning a once-great genre with nauseating humor, no thrills or grandeur and an over-reliance on star power. Running time: 112 minutes.
“The Lost City” is the kind of charming, star-driven, action-adventure that makes moviemaking look easy and effortless from the outside.
