Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Smitteh The animation is subpar and story lines and "humor" are predictable and stale. The main character of "Father of the Pride" is presented as the stereotypical Hollywood interpretation of the middle-class, lazy, dufus, husband/father. Most higher-thinking audiences have tired of the clichéd idiot male whose main goals in life are to drink beer and sleep. The writers' attempt to inject this otherwise clichéd character into Vegas as a lion in the Sigfreid and Roy act, to me, just doesn't work. An animated Married With Children or Rosanne is how I would best describe the humor. I gave this show a chance: I watched every episode of FOP and didn't crack a smile let alone a chuckle. For reference purposes, sitcoms I personally find funny are Seinfeld (Seasons 3 and later), The Office (Seasons 1 thru 6), and Scrubs. I'm surprised FOP made it past the 2nd episode. The animation is lackluster at best and comes across as 2-dimensional even on a high-def television. And I'm not exactly sure how they accomplished this but the voices/audio just don't seem to be in synch or don't mesh with the motion of the characters. The whole production just seems forced and unfunny. Sorry

stripeymaney I had watched as much of the series as I could manage to watch on television, but unfortunately, started a job that got me working evenings. I managed to catch some recordings of it, at least... and, of course, purchased the recently released DVD of the complete series. Watching the DVD, you can see that the animation was a bit more crude at first, but they ironed out a fair number of the flaws after the pilot was done. The voices are well suited to the characters, and the writing is excellent. It's rather refreshing to see animation getting back to it's roots by reintroducing adult themes. Thing is, with the way society has come in the last century, you need to be a bit more blatant about it by today's standards in order to be recognised as an adult-oriented show. The characters have very realistic personalities and are placed in situations that parallel what we often face in real life. It's your typical sitcom in that regard, but the humor is more like what you'd expect from late night television like a talk show skit or Saturday Night Live... back when SNL was actually funny. Good job, Dreamworks. Perhaps you need to work with one of the more liberal networks to keep this series going... and also improve the marketing of merchandise for the series to help defray it's high costs. It's a challenge to do this for a cartoon of a mature nature though. Hmm...

toonlets I just started watching this show, and I think it's pretty funny. The animation is nothing to get excited about, but it's satisfactory. Personally, I think the writing is snappy, a bit edgy, amusingly crude at times, and absurd. If you're looking for family entertainment you're going to be disappointed, but if you're looking for slightly more adult oriented satire, I think FATHER OF THE PRIDE is good stuff. My favorite parts generally involve Siegfried and Roy, their extremely pampered outlook on the world, and the ridiculous situations they get themselves in. My feeling is that DreamWorks animation, in general, writes more for a grown animation audience and in that, it risks alienating those who still believe animation is only for kids. Seeing Sieg and Roy mock Dick "The Chainsaw" Cheney and "douchy" Al Gore, watching them speed off on their Segways, or turn a Big Gulp dispenser into a Las Vegas extravaganza is funny stuff. If you're 16 or older and like your humor sarcastic, give FATHER OF THE PRIDE a chance. It's got some really good moments.

Shanky McRibs I expected to hate this show, but can say it is better than most TV. Still, a book beats the hell out of it. Any book. If I ever have nothing better to do, I will watch it, which is rare. It is funny (low-brow pedestrian humor, but definitely not the "sick" show another poster makes it out to be) and well-voiced. So it's a cartoon show aimed at people who can count to 100, so what! Ignore comments like TheMightyN's, the show is not meant to take the place of anyone's beloved Friends or Frasier, exactly. Catch it while you can, as they'll probably cancel it pretty quickly. Don't hold your breath, N: I doubt they'll ever give "Sherk" his own show. Did you mean Shrek?
