That was IMO a very underrated movie. Plus it had a very early appearance by Zach Galifianakis, who was one of the highlights of the movie IMO.

Bright and Shiny always reminded me of [Hooray for Everything](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqLGAtvnMLU) from the Simpsons. Not sure if that’s the original clip or not.

YOU WANT FIVE HUNDRED DOLLA!?!?!

So _ **you’re** _ the other _Bubble Boy_ fan! I always bring this movie up in threads here about “bad movies you like.” But I don’t really think it’s bad. It cracks me up. Gyllenhaal is surprisingly good with the comedy and all of the other characters are a trip. “Bright and Shiny” is my favorite part of the movie.
