Ok, admittedly, Balloon shop is not a movie. It is, or better, they are a series of funny short vids posted by three guys. Not, as you might have thought, this page. That page is an actual balloon shop. I'm not sure how you make a business that big out of selling balloons, but there you go. It's the twenty first century - you can sell anything! (Quote from Julian Smith). However, as warning, even if you love comedy, be careful. Balloon shop is great - if it's your type of humor. If it's not - well, you might just end up staring at the screen and thinking "How did that guy ever manage to convince me to watch this?" (answer: it's my amazing mental convincing powers, which I am even now pouring into this piece of writing).
Some of my friends look at Balloon Shop and crack up, others watch a video and think "well, this was a waste of my time". Just as quick review, I took a small poll among other bloggers and friends (January Galaxy, Andre Beren, elfantasmita22, Candy Panda, Emerald Avalanche, and Renaissance Man) and they gave Balloon Shop an average entertainment rating of 9.1 out of 10, and an intelligence rating of 5 or lower.
So if you're looking for intelligence - look somewhere else. But if you want entertainment - Balloon Shop is great. You can find all their videos on YouTube, however, to give you a taste of their videos, I will post one below in place of the traditional trailer.
