Critics consensus

“Bubble Boy bounces along with lame, offensive jokes that are more tasteless than funny.”

Hayes shows a deft touch with both cartoony slapstick and character-based comedy and manages to create moments of real poignancy in between.

RTBoxoffice MagazineSep 4, 2001

The road trip aspect of Bubble Boy provides fodder for most of the jokes, which are requisitely crude and tactless and only occasionally amusing.

RTThe Hollywood ReporterAug 31, 2001

Seldom has a more misguided movie escaped from a major studio than Touchstone's Bubble Boy.
