This is the best movie ever! I absolutely love it! (Not for kids). I rate 10/10 would oogie again.

I 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.

One of the best films of all time, and I'm not just saying that because the Oogieloves brainwashed me to say that. The Oogieloves is a fun romp for the entire family to enjoy, and I suggest you buy twenty copies like I did.Oogielove oogielove bam bram pow. Oogielove oogielove sing with me now! Do you feel yourself slipping? Yes, the power of the Oogieloves is creeping up your spinal column and reprogramming your DNA. Show this film to your children, buy at least two-thousand dollars worth of Oogielove merchandise, and worship the Oogieloves as your new saviors. Oogielove...

I was skeptical at first about this movie. I was blown away by the deep spiritual meanings and the existential quandaries found in The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure. If there is a better movie I have not seen it! The simplistic plot of the movie counterpoints to the inevitability of the struggles of man. The poetic undertones when the titular Oogieloves search for the magical balloons is just a metaphor for finding true love and happiness! Your children may not get all of the enriching symbolism in this movie but that's okay. Children will enjoy this magical journey and Parents will have their hearts touched by the beauty of this movie. 10 out of 10
