Decent movie. The fact that it’s based on a true story makes it an engaging watch. Zach Galifianakis delivers a solid portrayal of a complex character. The storyline is good but falls short of leaving a lasting impression

THE BEANIE BUBBLE is an entertaining and thoroughly engaging fact-based film that successfully blends corporate biopic, period drama and female empowerment saga. The film centers around the female founders and their relationships with bizarre billionaire Ty Warner, played by an unrecognizable Zach Galifianakis in an incredible performance. The film allows the cultural absurdity of the Beanie Baby obsession (and by extension, consumer capitalism itself) to fully surface in depiction without heavy-handed moralizing, and highlights the company's influential innovations in online marketing and fan engagement. One of the best recent "cautionary corporate biopics" by far.

Yet another streaming platform movie about an American product from the latter half of the 20th century. Familiar faces, check. Nostalgia with mentions of the technology and fashions of the day along to a soundtrack of chart music from the time, check. Non linear storytelling with frequent time jumps back and forth, check. Only in America rags to riches success with an infusion of lighthearted comedy and exaggerated emotion, check. These types of movies are becoming copy and paste, and where will it end, the story of mountain dew? Jolly ranchers the movie etc?

One of those cases whereas a documentary format is better suited as the "Hidden Figures" of the embellished, stranger-than-fiction phenomenon delivers straight forwardly with little diving and average charisma from the likable cast. (B)

The actors not the script makes it work

Inoffensive but completely ineffective, there are no themes or performances to really talk about here. Definitely a disappointment, a slog to get through.

Sinceramente desconocía el furor que hubo con estos peluches y esta es una buena forma de conocerla, la historia es entretenida y esta bien desarrollada, entretenida, cumple su cometido.

Interesting idea by bringing back to the time I heard of Ty beanies and actually having one that I own. I liked Zach Galifianakis's portrayal of Ty as there wasn't much exaggeration and can show a lot about the troubles one has with love if he did not have that in the first place. I liked Elizabeth Banks in that she brought a charm in the movie, uplifting the company's importance to her. However, towards the end of the movie, it got me in circles with things questionable regarding the plot. While I do not hate this film, there could be things worthwhile to share like comparing the real Ty Warner.

This movie has major continuity errors with its own story and is unable to get basic information right about stuff outside the world of beanies, makes you question how accurate is anything else in this movie, which by the obvious biases this movie portrays its hard to believe any of it is true. The stylistic approach of changing timelines is done poorly,

Taking a different direction from a real-life story to an average comedy. Making it funny, but less interesting.

Ok, now I know this beanie baby thing.... Done

I think "The Beanie Bubble" suffers only because it seems like there are almost too many of these corporate biopics being made right now. Some of the similar films from this year alone are better than this one. That being said, I still think this is a pretty decent one. The story is presented in an interesting way and the performances are good, particularly Zach Galifianakis who does a very impressive job as the central character. While watching the movie I felt like being told out of order wasn't really completely necessary. In fact, since the movie centers around three characters and their involvement in the success of this company, I felt a 3 part mini-series might have worked more effectively in terms of structure. Overall, it is a movie that will please fans of business movies inspired by real events, but I feel like it could have explored a lot more and could have been more interesting than it was.

This movie feels like blatant corporate propaganda in an attempt to ease the troubles of the frustrated post-pandemic working class through a very poor and obvious use of company/product nostalgia? It's not working. I love some of the actors in this movie, but this corporate success story feels very forced, tone deaf, and like it was fully funded by a wealthy CEO trying to make people believe in the American Dream again while inflation just keeps rising.

Prea conventional dar subiectul e bun

Worth a watch. Very entertaining.

another garbage movie made about recent pop history no one cares about and the writers aren't clever enough to make interesting. Forget the overacting, the story is so dumb and lame there's no point in watching this. Please stop making these garbage fast-food films....

Just no. Pretty boring and all over the place.

Continues this year's streak of "corporate biopics", however despite the solid cast, this movie deploys every cliche and ends up coming off as pretty shallow. It's a story that could've been told in 15 mins stretched over a 2 hour film, and loses sign of what it's trying to say due to a messy structure. Still, an easy and interesting watch because of the talents of the cast and the subject matter on screen. Just comes off as bland where it should be, as Ty says, "sparkly".

There's no reason why this story needed to be told. The Beanie Bubble is a useless biopic about an uninteresting event in America's history. The performances were decent but not enough to make this lackluster movie entertaining.

Another disaster biopic which focuses on flashbacks with no story structure whatsoever. It's all over the place and there's no time to even care about the story. Ty Warner is a toy manufacturer turned billionaire who has created these toys called Beanie Babies that are selling like hot cakes yet, the story is focused on the women who helped him get to where he is. Robbie is his neighbor turned lover and business partner. Shiela is his lover in the future, she has two kids and is about to get married to Ty. Maya is a 17 year old student who does a good job at marketing the beanie babies. Now it's a great story structure but, my god each scene is a flashback going back and forth and it's frustrating because, it's all jumbled up. I loved the performances especially Geraldine Viswanathan really stole the show, the cinematography was visually stunning and the locations however, that's about it for this film. Jesus Christ the dialogue in this was so wooden and stilted too!!!!
