Bad Boy Bubby Trailers

Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years, convincing him that the air outside is poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world.

I love dark comedy and twisted sick humor, however there is one taboo subject that I personally can not cross over to find any humor in.The abuse from the mother and the incest in the beginning was tragic and totally killed the tone for the rest of the movie as far as humor. At least for me.And I'm quite open minded w/a sick sense of humor and love dark humor. I loved World's Greatest Dad. The film itself was worth seeing and was well done and well acted. I couldn't give it higher than a six due to how repulsed I felt with old sagging mommy banging her son. If you can handle that then the rest of it is will be easy.

I never wrote something about a movie on IMDb cause I never felt the need to do so, but that movie was so incredible that I felt the urge to write something and let it out my thoughts that this film impressed in my mind.I don't want to spoil nothing, I'm just saying that i didn't knew nothing about that movie, I hated it the first 15-20mins but then I followed the unbelievable journey that unfolded before my eyes, with such epic moments, funny moments, sad moments, deep moments, I didn't know what to expect, a movie that grow so big inside you, and at the end the unexpectable happened too, I was so moved that I cried in liberation and ecstasy as the end is the culmination of all those feelings.The direction, the music, the acting are superb too, don't miss the chance to watch that movie, look behind the appearance and you'll find a gem.

It has been years since I've seen a movie this brilliant. I encourage everyone who enjoys intelligent films to give this a chance. If you can make it through the first 20 minutes, which are very hard to watch for a number of reasons, the film will reward you. It rewards you with laughter, love, beauty, redemption, acceptance, and a simple-minded joie-de-vivre not unlike Forrest Gump. I often refer to this movie as Forrest Gump meets Sling Blade, which isn't too far off base. Now, to the heart of the movie. This film bravely, deviously takes you into Bubby's horrifying world, suffering unspeakable abuse at the hands of his mother. I really don't want to spoil it for potential viewers, but Bubby is set loose on an unsuspecting world. I felt a certain amount of childish awe through the eyes of Bubby, stumbling into the world as it is, with no preconceived notions of life or society outside his dirty cage. He exists as an unfiltered man-child with a limited vocabulary and a savant's brilliance for parroting people he runs into. He strings this together into a wonderful career by complete accident. His simplicity is enviable, although certain elements of society are all too eager to take advantage of him. The jail scene nearly made me cry. You really begin to feel for Bubby's predicament and cheer for him as he makes his way in the world. One of the most ingenious techniques used in this film was its consecutive shooting schedule (it was shot mostly start to finish), which preserves momentum. Another fantastic touch was using microphones actually placed in Bubby's ears during filming. This draws you in, in a subtle way, by making you (the audience) hear what Bubby hears. Very, very clever. It took the screenwriter nearly a decade to finish this script, and it's so bold, fascinating, and original that it was a gift to the world of film upon its realization. Movies like this are extremely rare, and I cherish it, as I hope you will after giving it a chance. Me not Bubby, Me Pop now.

This movie is incredible! So incredible, in fact, it was the 1st movie I felt compelled to write a review. Bad Boy Bubby is not for the faint of heart. Its dark, twisted and sick. Right from the get go you are lured in wanting to look away from the screen but are unable to do so. Never, in all of the movies I've watched have I been so deeply touched, disturbed and elated all at the same time. What an emotional roller coaster! One second you'll be crying and the next you'll be jumping for joy. This movie will shatter many of you views on society and people in general. While some of Bubby's actions are wrong, you cannot blame him. He was denied ever basic human right from the day he was born. This is a must watch and is now in my top 10!
