The Beanie Bubble is a totally fun romp chronicling the rise and fall of people’s obsession with Beanie Babies. I remember that my mother went on a hunt for the “Diana Beanie ” when she was in Canada and scored one for my son.<\/p>\n

Zach Galifianakis is brilliant as Ty Warner, as is Elizabeth Banks as Robbie. She is the ultimate revenge warrior. Do not overlook Sarah Snook, she is fantastic.<\/p>\n

Such a fun romp about our obsessions and the ultimate disastrous investment in a stuffed toy! Can we say Cabbage Patch Dolls?<\/p>\n

Sit back, get some popcorn, and lean into Ty’s rise and fall. A true 5-star evening.<\/p>\n
