Netflix's new film, The Bubble, is a satirical comedy about the pandemic. It fields a battery of redoubtable comedy actors and sneaks in some funny cameos from other megastars (like Benedict Cumberbatch and Daisy Ridley).
Although critics universally hated the movie, the public did get many loud laughs from it. Let's see what the viewers are saying.
1. Someone who clearly disagrees with most of the critics.
I have no idea if everyone else saw the same #TheBubble movie I saw. But I couldn't stop laughing! 😅 Keegan, Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen, Pedro Pascal, David Duchovny, Leslie Mann. The actors who play the hotel staff. This Mish mash of insanity actually worked! Apatow did it.
2. Even the guest stars never failed at making us laugh.
So, folks, if you're tired of grim #Covid news and could use some relief "The Bubble" with Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal and David Duchovny was a crazy comedy about making a movie under pandemic conditions. I normally avoid anything to do with that topic, but this was really funny.
3. Doing wild things to stop self-isolation from driving you wild.
Karen Gillan snorting coke with Pedro Pascal and David Duchovny and then doing a tiktok is not something I ever thought I'd see #TheBubble
4. Karen Gillan was totally hilarious in this.
Skipping to a random part in the Bubble because I wasn't feeling interested in the movie and seeing Karen Gillan peeing her pants was definitely an odd moment.
5. Even watching Karen Gillan stuff her mouth makes me LOL.

6. Leslie Mann and David Duchovny have a history too.
Starting petition for Leslie Mann and @davidduchovny to do a romcom together … #TheBubble
7. She has a guest appearance of a few minutes, and she lampoons the privilege that many in Hollywood enjoy.

8. Pedro Pascal (along with Karen Gillan) has stolen the movie.
Watched #TheBubble, and my main takeaway is that I’ll watch Pedro Pascal & Karen Gillan do anything. Pedro is a great unhinged weirdo, and Karen can somehow also do the weird stuff while still being the classic straight man? It’s a weird one. Had some laughs.
9. Those cameos were super funny and totally unexpected (as Daisy Ridley and Benedict Cumberbatch's cameos were already spoiled by the trailer).
The Daisy Ridley, John Cena and James McAvoy cameos in The Bubble are crazy man
10. Harry Trevaldwayn was the undiscovered gem that this movie brought forth.
I say this with love, as someone who would take a bullet for David Duchovny and thank him for the privilege, but @harrytrevaldwyn was far and away the best part of The Bubble, and I hope he gets 100 million more acting roles.
11. From a classy gun seller in John Wick 2 to a wry production manager.
ahhh Peter Serafinowicz is in #TheBubble !!! what a fun bonus
12. A performance so mind-blowing that one forgets their job.
“Sorry I’m late boss, I had to watch my fave #DavidDuchovny in a silly movie about making a movie during the pandemic.” #TheBubble
13. People keep crediting Pedro Pascal (and one of his co-stars — here Keegan-Michael Key) for carrying the movie.
spoiler-free yet grotesquely narrow the bubble review: pedro and keegan i will pay for your chiropractor bills for carrying the weight of this movie on your poor backs. i could listen to guz talk for hours +
14. This was a wild cameo, and the Professor X reference made it funnier.
Karen Gillan and James Mcavoy on this scene was so funny😭😭 #TheBubble
15. Fortunately, the irony is not lost on some.
in The Bubble, one character is a tiktok star who lands a part in a big budget movie without having to audition for it, to satirize hollywood, and she's played by iris apatow
16. That scene was riotous.
How do you know you’ve made it in life ? You do lines of cocaine off of Keegan Micheal Keys bald head #thebubble
Pedro Pascal has absolutely dominated the chatter about the movie. Here are a few reactions just admiring his performance in it.
17. Dieter is droll.

18. Twice he is refused!
The most unrealistic thing about The Bubble is everyone turning down Pedro Pascal.
19. This TikTok had me in splits, but Pedro Pascal's dancing had me breathless.
Pedro Pascal dancing. That’s it, that’s the tweet. 🕺🏻 #TheBubble
20. A compilation of Pedro Pascal being a little sex-crazed in the film.
happy Friday here's 30 seconds of Pedro Pascal being horny in The Bubble
21. That scene was absolutely crazy, especially given the fact that Daisy Ridley makes an actual cameo.
