Memorable, crazy movie
Absolutely Fantastic
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreBecause 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!
View MoreThis movie really is a shining example of what makes a good kids movie. Wished people liked at as much as I did because I shed many tears my sister (who is 3 by the way) did not enjoy this and threw a massive tantrum saying how boring it was however I and my 23 year old brother shed many manly tears I loved goofie toofie and the other one and don't wanna watch it again cause it was quite lol :)
View MoreI don't know where to begin with this movie. I just don't. As a critic, I try to watch every movie I come across. As a critic, I don't discriminate films based on the target age demographic. As a critic, I only discriminate between good and bad movies. As a critic, I have seen the best and the worst in film. And what I have seen is the one the worst. The Oogieloves. I complain about movies like this all the time, and I get the same answer from almost everyone, "It's just for kids." No. That is not a legitimate excuse. I hear it all the time and I dismiss it every time. Just because something is for kids doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make it good. Let me point out the first problem with this movie. The Oogieloves are annoying as hell. They never shut up. They are always talking and jumping around. Loud and random is not funny. Second, the plot is just plain stupid. The Oogieloves go all over a sea of unfunny jokes and pointless celebrity cameos just to find a bunch of balloons that their idiot friend lost. The director of the movie was nominated for an Oscar for best documentary. Life is stupid. And finally, the movie is just awful. Simple as that. This movie is so bad that I found myself screaming at my TV, but not to help the Oogieloves. I was screaming for help. Why was this movie made? Why did Matthew Diamond direct this? Why does this movie have so many talented stars embarrassing themselves in front their fans? Why is this movie rated 6.5 on IMDb? Why? When I saw the poster for this, I thought it was some stupid, brainless CGI-animated kids film. Turns out to be a stupid, brainless live-action kids film with a bunch of people in radioactive Cabbage Patch Kids costumes with a Dora-type fourth wall break, which is somehow even worse than what I pictured. If I had kids, I wouldn't show this movie to them. If I was teaching film, I wouldn't even show this to a bunch of college kids to study what is wrong with kids entertainment. Just avoid this movie at all costs. There are better kids movies out there.
View MoreI almost always watch these awful movies online, usually to avoid giving money to these horrible film makers, but sometimes because I can't find a copy in my video store. This movie was both. The basic 'plot' starts with a man in a horribly disturbing Oogie- suit loosing balloons because of his creepy pillow friend. Him and the gang then have to find the balloons. That's it, they might meet a celebrity who will sing an awful song here and there, but that's literally the whole plot.The editing is all over the place, mainly in this one scene where Christopher Lloyd is dancing to a sloppily edited mix of music, one second he's moving his knees, then he's in Egypt, then doing a tango.All the jokes fall flat, it's not Foodfight style humour where they have someone fart on someone's face, or put a random food item in a movie quote, but it's pretty bad. In one scene for example, Chazz Palminteri keeps stopping to say "OOUGH!" every five seconds, probably to amuse kids because it sounds funny.This movie had a massive ad campaign, but as the trivia page says, they set a world record for the lowest grossing film showing in over 2000 theaters. The creators eventually got so desperate that they got people to right positive reviews on sites like IMDb, probably through the use of money or brain washing techniques- Goofie Toofie, PICK UP YOUR PANTS!!!!What just happened... THE OOGIELOVES IN THE BIG BALLOON ADVENTURE IS THE BEST MOVIE OUT THERE! I SAW IT IN A PACKED THEATRE ON ITS RELEASE DAY, AND EVERYONE WAS APPLAUDING AT THE END. WITH INTERESTING CHARACTERS, RICH PLOT AND HILARIOUS COMEDY THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN ENJOY, THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO BUY THE OOGIELOVES ON BLU-RAY TODAY!!seriously though, this is one of the worst movies out there.
