Koan, who just turned six, is submitting her first review.

First, Koan wants to say it was "crazy". This is because the balloons grew on stalks.

Second, Koan wants to say she "liked' it. She liked it because the girl had a balloon that could talk, which was her favorite scene.

Koan liked the "colors", because the balloons were bright and colorful.

Koan liked it when the old farmer said "dumber than a bucket of mud", because it was silly.

Koan liked the scene where the lemon turned into lemonade.

She thinks other people will like the movie, especially kids, because it is silly and has lots of balloons.

Guitry is once again the center of attention of all the young, beautiful ladies of Paris. A visiting American matinée idol seduces his girlfriend, causing him to consider leaving her. After an attempted suicide, her best friend suggests that they get married instead. He agrees, but only if she becomes his lover on the wedding day. Guitry's double standard is appalling to watch: he berates his girlfriend for her affair, barely keeping himself from hitting her, all the while plotting his next conquest. As with all of Guitry's films, it's dialog driven and tedious to sit through, only the presence of Jacqueline Delubac makes it bearable, but when you realize she is Guitry's wife in real life, even that loses its appeal.

Sacha Guitry writes himself another juicy role, this time as a butler that all of the women in the house find irresistible. He is hired by the beautiful Jacqueline Delubac, or rather talks himself into being hired, after a questionable reference from his former employer who implicated him in a love affair (of course!). He has to promise to keep his hands off her, but is overheard speaking her name in the night while having "erotic dreams". This leads to many problems, especially when she starts having the same dreams. He finally professes his love for her in a long-winded speech and promptly quits. There is one funny scene, mostly unrelated to the rest of the film, with an old deaf woman at dinner, but otherwise this is just another insufferable vanity piece for Guitry.
