Bad Boy Bubby is one of the most awkward, twisted films I have seen but it is very excellent. Bubby is a middle-aged man who has spent his entire life in a basement-like dwelling being manipulated and abused by his mother. With zero social/survival skills, Bubby enters the outside world for the first time.It is a challenging film to watch, filled with taboo scenes where we view a grown man in very inappropriate situations. But the innocence and naivety of his character create a fascinating take. If you can withstand the awkward creepiness of the first twenty minutes, it unfolds into a beautiful story that takes you on a roller coaster of emotions.
Nicholas Hope's acting is disturbingly brilliant and so believable that I had a hard time not emotionally caving in when I saw this. I highly recommend this film but use caution; it is pretty dark and weird.
