What makes Bubblegum an entertaining watch is the absolutely realistic & mature treatment to adolescent issues generally discarded as frivolous.

While the makers would want to believe they have an intelligent product centring on bizarre and daft protagonists’, it ironically lands their film being inadvertently resembling the very same people — brainless bummers.
