It's Schluufy's birthday, and the Oogieloves (Goobie, Zoozie and Toofie), along with their friends J. Edgar, Windy Window and Ruffy, are organizing a party. (Shh! It's a secret.) Everything is going along just perfectly until J. Edgar trips and loses the last five magical balloons in all of Lovelyloveville--OH NO! The Oogiloves set out to find the magical balloons in time to save their friend's party. Along the way, they meet some very interesting characters indeed, including Dotty Rounder (Cloris Leachman), Bobby Wobbly (Carey Elwes), Milky Marvin (Chazz Palminteri), Rosalie Rosebud (Toni Braxton) and Lola and Lero Sombero (Christopher Lloyd and Jaime Pressly). Can these new friends help them recover the magical balloons and get back to the cottage in time to celebrate Schluufy's surprise birthday?

Because it may serve as a passing diversion for very young viewers, it fails to offer much more than several brightly colored examples of the worst stereotypes of modern children's entertainment, the whole movie runs about an hour too long, the story's too big for the children who would love it the most, and it's a prime contender for most peculiar wide release of 2012. I'm glad I never saw it when it was released. The month of the release date on the poster has a terrible pun. The acting is poor, the writing is poor, the humor is poor, and in other words, just cheap. I hate this movie. Why does it exist? Why does it have a rating of 6.3 out of 10? Why not 3 out of 10? It sucks!

The Big Balloon "Adventure" is a lovely horror movie.My eyes were murdered at the sight of these horrifying creatures, and their voices sounded as if a child was trapped in there, trying to escape. Creepy! I can't believe so many children were in that theater, especially when-Wait, this is a children's movie? Oh, alright.This is one of the biggest disgraces to children's films I have ever seen. Many people try to claim that, "It's just for little children, don't take it so seriously". There is plenty of amazing children's content, such as the recent film, Inside Out. The most painful part of this movie was when Chazz Palminteri played some overly happy waiter (Side note, I wouldn't be so happy playing in the Oogieloves) and kept going, "OOH!". I think it's him going through the realization that he's a character in the Oogieloves.But in all honesty, if I was offered a paycheck for starring for, say, 20 minutes, I'd be the first in line for that role.

This movie has no redeeming qualities even worth discussing. I think the metacritic has it at 32/100 yet a number of reviews here gave it a 10/10! A 10? Does this movie look like it's a 10? Does this really seem like it's as good as classic kid's movie Toy Story? There are so many obvious fake reviews that I am offended by it. I just can't let this stand. Screw every person at the production company that participated in faking reviews. 34 of the positive reviews are 8 or higher. The clearly Fake Reviews also have similar wording. Keywords are also used like 'Plot Summary' and 'Character Description' Who the hell titles their reviews that way? And oddly, 2 reviews start with a number like 89. Or 28. Not numbers like a score but numbers as in a list. That is…unusual. The 30 of the 34 reviewers have only 1 review (for Oogieloves), no avatar, no poll responses, no ratings and no lists and no other activity since joining nearly 3 years ago. ALL 30 joined IMDb at the same time, June 2013 except two a few months later. And they all have plain simple user names with random number at the end. I Have encountered only ONE clearly LEGIT positive Review and the 3 remaining positive reviews are pretty clearly fake but if they are they are at least different from the other reviews.

Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure is a thought-provoking psychological thriller about the dangers of too much unprotected sex, illegal drug smuggling and why it's best you wear a safety belt when driving around with Bruce Willis at 130 miles per hour in interstellar space. This is probably one of the finest forms of cinema since Run Lola Run; I took my youngest child over to see it and we bonded over the film's witty dialogue and perky chemistry among the actors and actresses.I must, must compliment the director about the principal photography in Venice Italy. Awe inspiring work. Not since the works of Stanley Kubrick had I seen such interwoven clever storytelling, so compelling, that I was awestruck by the twist ending. Distorted and trick camera angles really make the characters come alive as they try to keep up in this fast-paced world; surely that's something we can relate to. After we finished seeing the film my seven year old son told me this will be the film that makes him want to become a director.I later told my wife and she was visibly unimpressed, and said that I clearly had seen a different film. I don't believe her. The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure is by far the best film to have ever been produced, and I will certainly cast my vote in all categories at the film festival next year. Highly recommended, be sure to catch the soon to be bestseller Criterion DVD when it comes out in a few months. You won't be disappointed.
