I did not think I was going to enjoy this movie, but it was just dumb enough and it realized what it was, which made it easier to digest. The Bubble refers to the idea when Covid-19 started, that people could isolate together, and then continue working. This was done by sports teams, and I guess it was tried with movie productions, as well.
The movie idea was stupid enough, a group of likable people would get together and kill cliff beasts, thus the name of the fake movie they were working on within the movie, this one being Cliff Beasts 6. It picks up with various cast members being talked into coming on and being part of the movie, and it surprisingly has an up-and-coming big-name list, such as Pedro Pascal (the Mandalorian), Karen Gillan (the hot chick from the new Jumanji movies), Leslie Mann (comes out in most Judd Apatow movies), Keegan-Michael Key (of Key and Peele), David Duchovny (X-Files), Fred Armisen (SNL cast) and others made smaller cameos, like Kate McKinnon (SNL, Ghostbusters), John Cena (famous wrestler), and others.
Once they agree, the actors all have to do the two-week isolation, then they are free to walk the grounds, with a mask, unless of course, they sit down at a table, then they can take off the masks. The movie showed the stupidity, now that we are on the other side of the great pandemic, where everyone seems to be taking it seriously, but not really. Kate McKinnon has the best role, she is the studio head or something, and she is constantly calling in to talk to the producer, but in every call, she is in a different part of the world, from skiing in the mountains, to hanging out on a beach, she mentions how she is part of the rich, they got the vaccine before anyone else, so they can continue life as normal. The actors too, are a constant mess and living in fear of dying from the virus, unless they are trying to do drugs, then they don't mind snorting from the same table, or whatever.
The movie gets a little silly, there is very little of them actually working on a movie, but the scenes are ridiculous, one of the actors is supposed to be a TikTok celebrity, so of course, on a showdown with a baby dinosaur, she shows their humanity by "teaching" it movements, and of course, the dinosaur ends up doing a stupid TikTok dance. If you don't take it seriously, it was a pretty good movie.
