Both look to be screwball comedies in the vein of "There's Something About Mary" and "Austin Powers."

Oh, I thought you were talking about that 1970's John Travolta movie...I was about to vomit all over myself in disgust.

I don't see the connection . . . I've seen the trailer three times, and it was hilarious. Everyone in the theater was laughing like crazy so I must not have too weird a taste in movies.

From the ads, "Bubbleboy" doesn't really pique my interest. I'm not familiar with "Shallow Hal".

Isn't a bubble boy refering to a person who is suffering from this disease (forgot what its called) and needs to be kept in a antiseptic environment? or was it being allergic to water?

I'm not familiar with "Shallow Hal".

A guy is cursed (blessed?) with the ability to see the inner beauty of people. So he's dating a woman that he thinks looks like Gwyneth Paltrow when in actuality . . . well, she's not. ;)

I'll try to find the link to the trailer, it's a scream.

No trailer, but here's a pic from it.

Bubble Boy looks like one of those movies they are trying to target at like the 15-25 range, when in fact that age group won't find it very funny and maybe some little kids might like it, but its not targeted at them, so many of them won't.
