Customer Reviews of Boy in the Plastic Bubble

Superb Movie!
I saw the movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble and I liked it. It is based on a true story but chages were made like the name and age of the boy. The movie was originally shown on TV back in 1976 and the main star of the movie is John Travolta as a teenage boy named Tod Lubitch who was born with a malfunctioning immune system and he had to stay inside a plastic chamber away from germs. In the movie his parents were played by Robert Reed and Diana Hyland and Glynnis O'Connor played the girl who lived next door and her character started off as a mean brat but later became his friend and they are all good! I can't believe the insensitive review by the guy claiming to be a Republican and slamming the movie and the kids illness as an attack against republicans. His review sounds like political paranoia run amuck! I'm not a political type of person (Politics bore me to tears!) but I have Republicans in my family who strongly disagree with him!

Democrat Party garbage to distract from Watergate
This movie starred John Travolta as the sick kid, "Tod", and also cast Robert Reed (Mike Brady) in typical Hollywood fashion as his "father". People were whining about supposed issues like Watergate, so uppity members of the Hollywood Democrat Party put out this movie to say people need health care. Sure you need health care--so stop hanging out with your sick kid all day and get to work. <

>Anyway, "Tod" is this weak boy who supposedly can't leave his bubble because he has some sort of "deficiency" or disease or something. Obviously, Travolta didn't have much input because he would have exercised and taken vitamins and avoided all this silliness in the first place--and saved us lots of tax dollars in the process. Instead, this kid draws on OUR tax dollars go to pay for his health care. Thank God President Bush is trying to phase out Social Security--put his reforms in place and the Social Security Disability Benefit this kid draws would vanish and we'd have no movie!!! <

>"Tod", gets to sponge off the government all day because of his infirmity. He should have been put to work someplace so he could pay back all the money we're wasting on him. I so look forward to the day President Bush reinstitutes the draft with a "civic duty" caveat. It will be great to see people like "Tod" forced to work for our county in Iraq with the Army or Halliburton, along with the other Democrat, inner-city, and rural hick flunkies. If you can't do your "civic duty" like those of us who just attended the College Republican conference in Arlington, then you really need to find another way to serve your country. I'm so sick of people like "Tod" and "Gina" who use my Daddy's tax handout to attend college. At least enlist and go to Iraq -- do something worthwhile for our country and my stock portfolio before you foul up the grading curve! <

>This movie is worth a laugh at the Hollywood Democrat Party who thought that health care mattered--boy did Harry and Louise destroy them! If you're a Travolta fan it's a curiousity. That's about it.

Good Movie
This is a good movie. John Travola as usual is suberb! Okay I agree that the anonymous reviewer from Nov 23 2004 was a bit harsh about the anonymous review from April 12 2004 but I also get the impression that that reviewer thought that perhaps the movie was about HIV because that is all they talked about but I don't think the person meant anything bad by it. I would have to that he or she Wasn't trying to offend anyone!
