Umm…if you missed the Colorado Balloon Crisis…I don’t know what to tell you.

Falcon Heene balloon

At the start of the movie, Falcon Heene is a little boy and it says “OCTOBER 2001″ in exciting writing on the movie screen, and the audience is all high-fiving and doing cool fist-pumps together about the creative liberties they’re already seeing happen.

Well, Falcon is hanging out with his family at a secret government place with Falcon’s dad, who is Bruce Willis, and Bruce is testing his important new excitement balloon for his government boss, and that boss is a Senator, and he is Keanu.

Bruce thought it would be a nice activity to have the whole family test the balloon together, and so Falcon goes in the balloon so they can do that, and the balloon crashes into a lake, and the lake starts on fire, and that’s because the lake was filled with gasoline.

Everyone but Falcon and Bruce dies, and Keanu waves his finger like “no-no-no”, and that means no more balloon experiments for Bruce, and also Falcon does some crying about his dead Mommy.

So then like it says “OCTOBER 2009″ and Falcon is graduating from high school, and now he is Shia LeBeouf, and he is always bitter at the world, and especially at Bruce.

This is because Bruce went on Wife Swapper and swapped some money to get Falcon a new Mommy, and that Mommy is Eva Mendez. After Falcon’s graduation party, Bruce and Falcon are cleaning up, and they yell at each other about who is a man now and who is not, and that’s the meme.

The yelling stops when they hear important cars drive through the front of the house, and they go to the living room to see who would do that, and the important cars are Keanu’s, and that’s because Keanu is the President now.

Eva wears booty shorts.

Keanu’s men grab Bruce and Falcon and Eva and take them to a secret lab to work on a new balloon that can save everyone, and Falcon is wondering what everyone needs to be saved from. Keanu won’t say, and then he gives Falcon some kettle corn and sends him to watch Dancing With Some Stars, and that’s another way to make Falcon feel like he is not a man.

Well Falcon sneaks around and finds out the plan, and he is like, “No-no-no-no-no-no-no!” because Keanu is making Bruce build a new balloon just like his old one, and Keanu will use that to crash the balloon into Lake Denver, which Keanu’s men are filling up with gasoline.

Falcon uses a Google Wave trick to make everyone think they’re in virtual reality, and when they are confused he steals the balloon and launches it, and he is in it when it does the launching.

Keanu is mad now, because Falcon also called the paparazzi, and they are making the online internet go crazy about this wild balloon kid.

Keanu puts guns in Bruce’s face, and so Bruce calls Falcon and tries to tell him how to drive the balloon, but Falcon is all like, “Oh now you think you’re a good dad, well let me tell you a thing or two about your booty wife.”

Then Keanu brings up a viral video on Falcon’s screen, and it’s of Keanu’s men pouring soda all over Eva, and also teasing her with chainsaws and calling her names that are not nice.

Keanu says that if Falcon doesn’t crash into Lake Denver, that they will keep doing that, and also they will start doing it to Bruce, and then Keanu will cancel Lost when there are only two episodes left to go.

Falcon swallows real hard and that’s like time for a montage, and now the internet is really loving on Falcon hard, and the montage goes on for an hour.

When it’s over, Falcon is like, “No-no-no-no-no-no!!” because he is about to crash, and he asks Keanu to explain why he wants to kill Lake Denver so bad, and that’s because Falcon wants to at least have solid reasoning behind his exciting balloon death.

Keanu says he hates lakes, and that’s when everything starts to go crazy on the computer screens, and the balloon crashes into Lake Denver, and that’s in 3-D.

The paparazzi is so excited to have a dead kid to talk about finally, and like there’s a man running out there so he can be the guy to pull out the body, but he falls down, and the internet likes that one a lot.

Everyone takes their shovels and pops the balloon, but all that’s in there is some kettle corn. They are all like “wtf” at not getting to be famous heroes on TV, and the paparazzi shows everyone that on their touchscreens.

Back at the secret lab, Keanu isn’t sure what’s happening, and we know this because he is screaming that he isn’t sure what’s happening.

That’s when Falcon jumps down from the attic, and it turns out Balloon-Falcon was just virtual reality. Real-Falcon says he was doing a trick so Keanu would admit his evil plan, and maybe people won’t vote for him again.

They have a fistfight, and Falcon wins the fight, and Bruce admits he’s a man, and gives him beer and a passport. Also, Bruce gets diabetes at this part, so they go to the hospital, and Eva meets them there.

Falcon starts throwing up for the paparazzi, and so he touches Eva’s booty and him and Bruce like wink at each other for their cool way they figured out to be on TV, and that’s the twist, but nobody cares because for sure Falcon will have more adventures.

  • I always thought President Keanu was like the Governor of Idaho or something.
  • I think his Presidency is so iconic that people forget everything that came before - that's why there are conflicting reports.
  • You sir, are a man after my heart.
  • Thank you sir.

    slow clap. you are going to be on the today show for this. don't bonk.
  • Will anyone on the Today Show have on booty shorts -

    hopefully lauer, hopefully not veieyeire.
  • Off topic: thoughts on Where the Wild Things Are? I saw it at the premiere here in NY on Tuesday. Meh.

    Bear in mind that I 1) hate kids movies, books, lives in general; 2) have no affection for the book from my own childhood - don't think I ever read it; ) and yet absolutely love Spike Jonze.

    The movie was either cheesy or violent or boring, the dialog was too smart for its own good, and it had no real plot (which I don't mind except that this needed one to make up for the other shortcomings).

    However, I saw Antichrist, Blue Beard, and The White Ribbon at the NYFF last week - all awesome if they're the kind of movies you dig (you meaning probably not Brian, though you might find the first one interesting simply for the hype surrounding its violence).

    That is all.

    Oh, thanks LBJ for precipitating Edwards' trade to the Jets.
  • I like kids stuff generally - particularly what I would call all-ages material, like what Pixar does. Also very much like Spike Jonze's work.

    I'm kinda cold to Where the Wild Things Are though - it seems like it's a small art film that was lucky enough to get a huge budget because of the book.

    Hipsters are all like "it's the best thing ever invented" also, which makes me want to watch Bad Boys II.
  • I don't know how Pixar is exactly all-ages, because I certainly don't care about what they do one bit. Then again, adults read Harry Potter, so what do I know.

    Yeah, it's no use arguing with those hipsters, but it isn't very good.
  • You've never seen any Pixar, or you just have no interest -

    It's all-ages because it doesn't dumb things down for the audience. I'm not saying it's like high-lit or something, but generally it presents things that can still be resonant in some way to adults.

    Not like Shrek, which is like fart-fart-fart, let's save the princess. I like the first Shrek, btw.

    im going to see it in an IMAX on sunday. i will have many big things to say.
  • nrojb
    was no good. some how managed to mix complex character metaphors with teenage-relationship-style bickering. one good thing was that it wasn't very long.
  • I've seen a few here and there, but I generally find them sort of flat, simplistically moralistic. No, I don't expect it to be Fellini, but I'd be happy if they approached the subjects with a bit more nuance than they tend to.

    It's just a matter of taste. And there's no accounting for taste.
  • I like Pixar. I thought it was touching how they tackled the life long relationship in Up and how he's dealing sans wife.

    I also thought it was very graceful how they show the love of his life, how close they were, the tough times they went through and then losing her; effectively setting up his mind set for the remainder of the movie.

    There really aren't too many movies out there that do it that seamlessly. And the ones that do take the first half of the movie to do it. This movie was under 2 hours and made you care before ripping your heart out in the first 15 minutes.

    I like most Pixar movies so I won't do a breakdown of everyone but I thought I at least defend the most recent installment :)

    I haven't seen WTWTA yet but I read the book a billion times as a kid learning to read so I will have some nostalgic attachment to it regardless. For the record, the book has no plot. So if the movie doesn't either, then its right on.

    P.S. Moralistic? I don't necessarily take that as a criticism for a movie... Nothing wrong with having a message.
  • There is something wrong with a message that boils enormous complex problems down to a simple black and white thing with only views - right and wrong, or good and evil, or whatever. It encourages people to see all problems that way - hence the "with us or against us" philosophy.

    Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes!
  • Yais.

    WTWTA: good until the end, which felt corny. Also, the changes in tone were really abrupt-I can see why little kids were scared out of their minds during the test screenings.

    And I predict Pixar's winning streak will end with Toy Story 3. They're pushing their luck on that one-the trailer looks really bad.
  • I thought the same thing about Ratatouille but that turned out to be a good one, I'm willing to give it a chance.
