This episode is hands down one of my all time favourite comedic episodes of TNG. It's just super silly fun from beginning to end and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I love it when shows that are somewhat more drama/adventure based lean into comedy and do it well. The silliest part of the episode for me believe it or not was not the adults becoming children but it was how easily the Ferengi managed to take over the Enterprise. It felt like there was only like 5 and we all know Data could have easily taken the 2 on the bridge. Of course though it made sense that then the Ferengi were so easily duped and sent packing.
The casting of the younger versions of Picard, Ro, Guinan and Keiko were mostly well done although I wasn't a particular fan of the young Picard, that accent was grating. The elephant in the room surrounding Miles & Keiko was actually well handled and that initial scene of them sitting uncomfortably next to each other and she holds his arm was awkwardly funny.
The whole episode was just silly but done well so bravo to the writers etc.
