Did You Know?

Trivia:
The original idea was for the first half of the movie (the scenes in Bubby's house) to be shot with the left and right sides matted, to make the viewer feel more claustrophobic, and then when Bubby finally goes outside the picture was going to expand into full widescreen. Rolf de Heer decided not to do this because he felt it made the first half of the movie unwatchable.See more »
Quotes:
[after nurse Angel lets Buddy see her huge breasts while she gives him a shower]
Bubby:They be beautiful... like mom.
Angel:You don't think they're too big?
Bubby:They make perfection.

Some Of The Funniest Scenes I've Ever Seen., 6 December 2000
Author: daveisit from Melbourne, Australia

Many people have found this movie overly confronting and ultimately very disturbing. If you give it a chance it gets you thinking and had me laughing uncontrollably. Some of Bubby's interactions with the outside world were hilarious. It's far from a comedy though, and will bring you through many emotions before the movies over.

Definitely worth watching. (7.5 out of 10)
