Review of The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure (2012) by Danielle E — 03 Aug 2013

Well, I did it. I saw The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, and it was just as bad as I thought it would be. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't know what morons would ever think this would make money or be a critical or theatrical success. It just sucks, plain and simple.

The plot is just as awful: A talking pillow is celebrating its birthday and a talking vacuum named J. Edgar is meant to give him (sigh) magic balloons, but loses them, and the balloons spread all across...get this...Lovelyloveville. So these three Oogieloves with names so ridiculously immature that even a 3 year old would find idiotic must go all across the town and find these 5 balloons. Bad songs and dances occur along with some painfully inserted celebrities that obviously are in it for the money, like Christopher Lloyd as a Mexican bongo player and Chazz Palminteri as a milkshake shop owner. It's just painful.

The film's budget was nearly $40 million and it only got $1 million back. This film seems like it's trying to be bad, it's filled with cheesy jokes and bad songs...it's just a god awful film. Kids will hate it and so will adults. Terrible for the whole family. An abomination to cinema.
