This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreI'm not sure if I'd show this to a child. While the cartoon violence is comparable to that of many kids' shows, there are some mature jokes (including references to bestiality, lots of arson, and mention of that godforsaken Canada) and very few decent role models. If you're a parent, I'd at least screen one or two episodes before letting your child watch it. This is a very clever, funny show, vastly underrated and appealing to a wide range of ages. Sure, there's the potential for offense, but I'd say it's definitely worth watching. While character growth at some point would be nice, this is one of the shows where, at the end of twenty minutes, everything is back to normal. As long as you're aware of the difference between fantasy and reality, I doubt watching Dan Vs. will drastically affect the amount of crime you commit on a yearly basis. Of course, I cannot speak for everyone: there will always be those so easily inspired/influenced/provoked (take your pick) that they interpret mention of corrupt politicians in a song as a cue for them to smear blood on the walls of their victims' houses.
View MoreDan vs. is a hilarious family friendly show that isn't all about the good guy winning or hero saving the day but instead it's about a short angry man who gets revenge on absolutely everything and anything! You'll find you're self getting more into Dan's antics as the episodes go on because each character is so unique and funny, there are no "filler" episodes either, and each episode feels fresh and new with occasional reoccurring characters and areas. My favorite part of the show is at the end when Dan has gotten his revenge (on his usually innocent victims) and is at home about to relax when karma comes and ruins his day, no matter how many times Dan wants to ruin someones life (or actually ruins someones life) life always comes back and smacks him back down. Which is funny for adults to watch and good for children watching because revenge is never right! (such BS) It has also an amazing fandom on tumblr and Facebook! you should go check out the official Dan vs. Facebook page, it's run by Dan himself!
View MoreBefore I started watching Dan vs, it was just something I saw in commercials but wasn't really interested in. But then one night my brothers and I actually paid attention to one of the ads and we liked it, especially since one of our little brothers is named Daniel, is short, and has black hair. We decided to try it out and we were instantly hooked. Dan vs is hilarious, original, and seriously underrated. Dan comes off as a sociopath but is really just sensitive. VERY sensitive. He just can't get past the annoying things the rest of us just deal with. He's the kind of guy you'd hate in real life, but can't help but love on in the show. With his pushover best friend Chris and Chris' secret agent wife Elise, there's never a dull moment. The dialogue is always funny and clever, and although the story can get pretty out-there sometimes, you don't even mind because the story and characters are so fun to watch. Dan vs's brand of humor may not be for everyone, but you have to give it a try because if you don't, you're depriving yourself of some quality entertainment.
View MoreWhat I love about Dan Vs. is the maintenance of its writing quality through each episode. Rather than what's expected from viewers, the writers often take the series in a whole different direction, tackling such concepts as "The Wolf-Man" or "The Catburglar", so the show is unexpected and refreshing. Not only that, but surely (even though you may not be a rampaging jerk hellbent on vengeance in regards to everything you deem has wronged you), we can all relate to Dan's shenanigans one way or another.You basically have the three main characters: Dan (voice-talented Curtis Armstrong), his friend Chris (Dave Foley), and Chris' wife Elise (Paget Brewster). Dan is an anti-hero in his own right and easily becomes one of the most hilarious characters on the show. Chris is a pushover known for his excessive eating and some of the humor stems from this fact. Elise often disapproves of Chris' constant aiding of Dan's schemes, but will occasionally join in if she has something to gain by it (as is the case in the pilot episode). This keeps the episodes varied and adds a touch of adventure to them.The jokes are cleverly-written and - since the show was originally intended to be a live-action sitcom - you get that same sort of vibe in them, mainly stemming from Dan's witty intelligence... or a lack thereof. (Though you really have to love Dan's social commentaries.) While the character designs are great (particularly the main characters), the animation (which is done entirely in Flash) is occasionally shoddy and would need some improvement. Other than that, the show is generally visually-appealing and manages to pull off quite nicely.I first viewed this show after seeing several promos of it back during the beginning of 2011, when The Hub was a fairly new network. Most often, people tend to skip this show in favor of The Hub's more prominent programming - such as My Little Pony. While I hold no grudge against these shows in particular, I would recommend thinking "outside the box" and giving this one a try. Not the best cartoon by any means, but one that manages to surpass other recent releases.
