Truly Dreadful Film

Captivating movie !

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This was truly entertaining and humorous. There was only one episode I wouldn't watch due to content, but all in all, hilarious and I was disappointed when it wasn't renewed. With so many shows main characters getting mega-bucks per episode, by Hollywood standards, surely this wasn't too expensive, just under-promoted. It was original, tongue-in-cheek, subtle at times, and very compassionate and yet ironic at the same time. How many shows can do that?I wish NBC would renew it. Too many truly innovative and entertaining shows are not allowed to find their feet let alone their audience before someone with more power than wit cancels it. I want my FATHER OF THE PRIDE back!

I don't know why some people criticise that show so much.It is a great, funny show - probably not the right material for mainstream prime-time, but still...The family dynamics are funny, and all in all the same you see in most comedy shows. The supporting characters are absolutely hilarious. The plots of the individual episodes and the frequent Siegfried & Roy jibes are only just above average, but ever so often you have sub-plots or one-liners that make you roll on the floor laughing.This show was well worth the 8 Pounds I paid for it.rating: 8/10

Father of The Pride is the creation of Dreamworks, the same people behind Shrek. But FoTP is no children's show. Its an edgey, irreverent animated comedy meant for an audience mature enough to understand it, this is why its on at a late spot. Even though there are only a handful of episodes I put this up there with the likes of The Simpsons, Dinosaurs (jim henson creation w/ a Homer-ish T-rex, his family live in the great continent "Pangea"), Family Guy and other such satires. This show speaks to many audiences; ravers, music/movie buffs, furries and just about anyone seeking a good chuckle.My two favorite episodes are "Nip Heads," where Larry and his wife Kate find "nip" (their version of weed) in their daughter Sierra's room. They ground her, she sneaks away, they think she went to a rave so they go and she's not even there. Larry and Kate eat a nip necklace they picked up at the rave not knowing what it was. They get blitz'd and make complete arses of themselves while Sierra is trying to have an interview with a teacher from the school for the gifted. Kate: Your father and I were very furried about you. *giggles* Hey Larry, check it out, I just said furried.Larry: Heh, furried... That's awesome... umm, who are you? *makes cross-eyed face*(a definite nod to those of us in the fur fandom, who incidentally, make up the most of the fanbase for this show and other anthro-animal related programs =P)The nip turns out to be the grandfather's and of course Sierra feels alienated by her parents not trusting her in the first place when she told them it wasn't her's.The second one that I really enjoyed was the episode where Hunter locked himself in the bathroom and is being ansgty (depressed), Sierra runs to the living room to tell her parents "Maaaaawwwwm! Hunter's listening to Tori Amos in the bathtub again **cut to Hunter singing along to "Silent All These Years"** The Grandfather then responds "Are we still pretending he's not gay?" The Grand-pappy lion then takes it upon himself to straighten the kid up, so he takes him out to the forest with his "tribe" to hunt elk. (kinda like the Simpsons eppie where Homer tries to make Bart shoot a dear to prove he's not homosexual) I thought that was cute, I am male Tori fan, and yes. I am gay =P Trent Reznor and Tori should hook up.There is also another ep in which the Shrek Donkey (who is a big celebrity to them) comes to town to shoot a commercial. Larry thinks that if he can get the celeb to come to Hunter's show and tell it will impress him. He accidentally kidnaps Donkey's very gay sounding stunt-double. VERY VERY FUNNY!!!!Don't watch this show unless you've got a TOLERANT sense of humor. Otherwise you will just end up hating it like all the other "liberal" television shows people like to bash, like Will & Grace and Queer as Folk. And for those who say Dreamworks shouldn't have made an adult humored show fearing they will mistake it for "wholesome" Shrek, FoTP was on at a time most of you put your kids to bed. And even still there is the V-Chip, try looking at the little rating in the corner of your TV, OKAY???-Kitsune =^.^=

I was left in utter shock. My family and I sat down to watch the new computer animated series "Father Of The Pride" featuring the voice of John Goodman as a Lion and Sigfried and Roy as prominent characters. However, during tonights episode we were absolutely shocked to hear the grandfather, who had been trying to 'macho' up his young grandson cub tell his elephant psychologist "I was trying to get him to stop being, you know, so homo." This came in a fleet of horribly skewed remarks about women (one referred to as a 'skank') promoting stealing and making cracks about obesity and sex. This adult oriented show is even more adult than I thought, but the animated characters appearing like stuffed toys will make children want to watch, they remember the Lion King, and the characters are named after those from Disney's flick. They have even poked fun at the magician couple insinuating one had a 'relationship' with a male monkey from his act and even went as far as to explore forcing a panda to have sex with another panda. This is careless television, it is racial, filled with slurs and exploitive. I'll never watch it again.
