That's the one, thanks.
Hi. I was hoping someone could tell me the name of this film. It's about some sort of Magical average Joe that befriends a little girl. Everything about the guy is ordinary except for the fact that he literally grows balloons as if they were plants and can accomplish feats by "Just using what he has." At one point he makes a Pecan pie using only a single Pecan and gives said pie to a police officer who was going to Repo his vehicle. The Balloons he grows also have some measure of sentience and at one point everyone in town gets one. The guy with arthritis feels better after the balloon he got brushes up against his knuckles. A portly woman ends up chasing hers around the house and loses weight. Everyone is content with their balloon but the town ends up going through a really bad drought which means that the balloons can't grow anymore. They all blame the farmer that grew them and the little girl teams up with her balloon to grow more but ends up using a large amount of the town's water supply. I don't know how it ends. Any help is appreciated. It was a live action production.
