Surprisingly good.

good, interesting and courageous movie. critique of society and religion made in both direct and more symbolical ways -the combination seems unique for me. some parts may be a bit long but overall it's all proper. even the happy ending is meaningful as a longing or wish.

I don't know what to think of this yet...

BBB is really really sick, but somehow interesting and bizarre.

A blurb on the cover of BAD BOY BUBBY compares it to BEING THERE, as directed by David Lynch. Apt, but at the same time it's damned original. Like BEING THERE, it meanders a bit, but it also boasts a bravura lead performance; Nicholas Hope is absolutely convincing as the otherworldly Bubby, a troubled innocent thrust into a mad world. Rolf de Heer's script takes him places you'd never expect, all of them fascinating--and often giddily entertaining. An unsung classic of the Australian absurd.

That was.... different.

That Bubby, my kinda guy.

Horrible. Horrible, HORRIBLE, DO NOT WATCH.

Touching film. Great acting. Don't hurt yourself trying to find something wrong with it >:p

In bad taste yet compelling and well acted enough to watch. I'm not a huge fan of it but it is unique and strange enough to be one of a kind.

This odd ball blew my mind back in 90s. I see this story as an allegoria of a growing up man. The flick starts with a baby, who grows up in a shelter of mother, runs from home, comes back as a prodigal son, becomes a man, a father and finds his part of the society. Heer's world is brutal, alien and there's no God. To grow up you have to wipe out the burden of your parents. It's also very (anti-)religious, and a search of one's comfort and sexual orientation in hard life.

It won't change your outlook on life or anything, but it's satisfying and even somewhat sunny. The humor is a mixed bag, for the most part it works. Hope has a commanding presence, the other actors are largely forgettable. The binaural soundtrack (letting you hear things from Bubby's perspective) was a bit gimmicky, though after a while you don't notice it. The director seems rather full of himself during the interview on the DVD, unfortunately, but that doesn't affect my opinion of the fil

One of the strangest films I've ever seen but quite amusing.

Terrible overacted at times.

One of the most disturbing films I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

An excellent cult film that will alienate a lot of people right off the bat, but those that stick around are in for a demented treat that's equally gross, hilarious, and oddly touching.

The first half-hour is hard to stomach but the rest of the movie kinda makes up for it.

This movie is going to ill out you!

Not a film for everyone, but quite a bit of fun for people into odd and extreme films.

It's a sick film, but it's also at the same time something rare you know you wont see again.

many many years since i saw it, but i remember being blown away by its awesomeness

Unusual flick about a 35 year old man who has spent his entire life locked in a small apartment with his depraved mother, only to be suddenly forced out into the world by her death. He is completely childlike, and can only communicate by repeating things he's heard other people say. It sounds like it should be ridiculous but the performance of the lead actor Nicholas Hope is incredible, and he totally sells the bizarre transformation that Bubby undergoes. Strange but compelling.

Totally bizarre, but in large parts brilliant. There are just a couple of parts where the script loses its way, which keep this from being a work of genius. The parts played as a fish-out-of-water comedy are stronger than the parts as a religious allegory or morality tale. But together they create a nice balance. The underlying subtexts in this Australian film are complex and plentiful - as are the laughs, and grimaces. Why is this film, and Nicholas Hope, not more widely known?

Not a comedy! Really good film though. Interesting use of sound.
