Bizarrely entertaining.

Richard Heene alerts the authorities that his son, Falcon, has climbed into a homemade UFO balloon. The giant silver, helium-filled structure flies off at a pace; it becomes a major news story. The balloon is tracked by the authorities, officials, and seemingly most of America.This was such a bizarrely entertaining documentary, one of those where you almost watch in horror, but not for the reasons you may be thinking. Someone please explain to me why and how so many people were taken in by the story.There was a lot of fascinating footage, including the initial lift off scene.I thought Richard Heene was wonderfully charismatic and entertaining, but there was no way on earth he didn't know that Falcon was not in the balloon.Richard definitely had a desire to grab a little bit of fame; why else would he have appeared on Wife Swap? His behavior on that show was designed to get himself noticed, no other reason. That moment where Falcon told the cameras that it was all a game was so revealing.Did anyone truly think that Falcon was in that balloon? Genuinely? Let's be honest, this could only have happened in America.7/10.

Still dont believe the family

The episode isnt bad, but the first half is told from the family point of view, as if it was real. The dad is not likeable and the kids are only marginally better. I remember this but forgot the Larry King Live interview part. It was not as good as other episodes, but if you are too young to remember Ballon Boy or never heard of it, it is an interesting watch. I remember thinking it was a hoax at the time and after watching this, I still do. Hard to believe they are still going with their story, and they do try and sell it as it was real, but more likely it was all a set up for attention. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane, but they didn't convince me it was real.

I still think it was a hoax

My rating is based on the fact that while well produced, the father is an awful individual and difficult to watch. I also found this not quite up to the same calibre as other trainwreck instalments so I'm a bit disappointed, poop cruise is a tough act to follow.I'm not sure if the family thought doing this show would change public opinion of them. The father is thoroughly unlikeable, and if he wasn't 'acting' then his so-called genuine reaction ('I was PISSED') and behaviour towards his wife is abusive and extremely worrying. He certainly appears as a narcissist, a liar and a bully and this doco leaves me believing nothing that comes from his mouth. Mayumi blink twice if you need help.
