      Audience Member It has a few laughs and slap stick jokes. Not one of my favorite Buster Keaton films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/20 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad slapstick silent short-film, but not consistently funny or hilarious either. Some good gags - especially with the canoe - but the bears & fish bit aren't great. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not one of Keaton's better shorts but still a few laugh-out-loud gags. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Not his best but still had some good funny scenes . Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Buster Keaton has always been my favourite silent film star - his film have wit, charm, intelligent, and often surrealisitic humour that launch them into the stratosphere of greatness. The Balloonatic is one of those surrealistic films that is almost brilliant in its execution. The plot is simple, and rather sweet, and Keaton's genius shines through. To modern eyes it might appear rather hackneyed, but this really is a marvel of a film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Keaton vs the great outdoors. The scene with the bears was hilarious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
