The Beanie Bubble Reviews

Nothing amazing but the movie is fun, the characters are thoroughly entertaining, and it’s a great look at how the early days of the internet were. I enjoy the focus on business, even if Ty is a bit ridiculous.

A product biopic more course than fuzzy, starring a misogynistic founder & his 3 female muses that bursts its potential through frustrating flashback storytelling.

Look, I love Zach Galifianakis. I think he’s super chill and funny and just wants to raise his kids outside of Hollywood. I also loved Beanie’s. Jesus this move was ehh. Zero character development. They just expect you to like them without context. Wouldn’t recommend or rewatch.

5.3 - little more fun than the documentary but overall very conventional & uninspired directing & writing. Acting is decent but Geraldine Viswanathan steals the show. I guess if this product movie boom is your thing it’s worth a watch.

Cute movie. Really interesting story. Good, fun watch.

The timing was weird. Loved how the story was mainly told through women though.

In a year where movies are popular about how certain products came about this one is def the worst , banks And Zach have a few moment but all in all wasn’t a fan, maybe bc I wasn’t a b.b guy I dunno but nope !!!!!

Hmmm

As one, like most people passed the age of 25, who grew up with or at least aware of beanie babies, it’s a cute watch for sure… I never thought about the origins too hard before and it’s just funny to see how and why such iconic trends end in such unhinged manners 🧸❤️😿

forgot I ever watched this movie tbh. probably was around 3 years ago. I thought it was really interesting but a little confusing with the timeline stuff. not anything special but not bad if I remember correctly. the idea itself is cool to me. 7/10

Crazy story

3.7

"The Beanie Bubble" is a comedy-drama film that tells the fascinating true story of the Beanie Babies bubble. Directed by Kristin Gore and Damian Kulash Jr. and starring Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Snook, and Geraldine Viswanathan, the film had me intrigued with its unique premise and strong performances. While it had its moments, the film ultimately fell short of being a standout.
