Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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

flackjacket I don't even know where to begin to describe how pathetic, annoying and lame this show is. But if there was an award for most annoying TV show on earth, this show would win above and beyond all others.It seems the concept is to surround Hank Hill with the most annoying characters ever conceived. They've succeeded. They've also managed to make the central character just as annoying.Like Beavis and Butthead, the artwork looks like it was drawn by a right-handed 1st grader using his left hand with his eyes closed. Hank looks like my ass upside-down with eyes and Bobby looks like a human turd.Then there's the voices. Did they put an ad in the paper calling for people with voices that can make people's skin crawl? I can't understand how people can watch this show and not vomit. Hank sounds like an idiotic douche, his wife's voice and accent makes me want to jump off a bridge, Bobby's voice sounds like he just swallowed sand and Hank's highly annoying live-in niece's voice could probably cause blindness.Watching this show is like watching a contest to see who can annoy the Hell out of you the most. And in most cases they all win. That boy ain't right, that boy ain't right, that boy ain't right, pro-pain, pro-pain, pro-pain, piggy hell, piggy hell, piggy hell. This show, it's characters, the voices and the "drawings" have brought suck to a new level.

athomed This review is 13 seasons in the making. For 12 years, I was a faithful viewer of King of the Hill. It started out as a wonderful addition to a great Sunday evening lineup on Fox, it ended as the saving grace to a boring and vulgar Sunday evening lineup. This show was forgotten by Fox for five years, they cut its marketing down to nothing and then wondered why it didn't deliver the numbers they wanted.Hank Hill, a responsible husband, son, and father lives his life in a rapidly changing world. He's comforted by his small Texas town, "Arlen", and the friends he's made there, although sometimes, they offer more headache than anything else! The satire was biting right to the end. This show successfully balanced many different ideas without crushing them and did so without beating up on one of the other. Hank Hill is a Reagan conservative, or even a LBJ democrat, his aging dog is aptly named Ladybird.Hank's ideas are often challenged by a growing wave of Liberal viewpoints around Arlen, and simply put, the show never makes fun of any ideology, it makes fun of the behavior intertwined with it, and shows that both ideologies have their problems and their good points. Conservatism is never made fun of and liberalism is never made fun of, except by the main characters.The show follows the daily life of the Hill family and their neighborhood. Peggy is his loving wife with an inflated ego, Bobby is Hank's son, Hank worries that "that boy ain't right" because he's a little different and dreams of being a professional comedian, Hank would prefer he be High School football quarterback and then work at Strickland Propane with Hank. The ensemble cast is great and all of them are funny.This show has everything going for it, well thought out plots, great voice acting, and pleasing animation.This is a 10/10 excellent show. Give it a try if you haven't already.

EdgeRatedRSuperstar King of the Hill is simply a boring cartoon series with some Texan family showing their troubles every day. If you are bored by that yet wait to see the episodes. The story goes so slow that it's even painful to watch and about that heart-warming thing that it delivers in the end, well i get that from the Simpsons, in a better way, so no thanks. Of course, the boredom doesn't stop here. the animation is just horrible for a today's cartoon and, of course, all of the characters are a bunch of stereotypes mixed together that produce nothing funny. Speaking of stereotypes, there is a particular episode that made me personally angry (while i was bored). That episode with Hank's son playing football (soccer) instead of American "football" and that upsets Hank a lot and they characterize soccer as "girly" and showing off American football as the best choice (typical Americans). I guess the only reason why people like it is because it's pure American. (the flag is shown 100 times, trucks, American football, etc)Anyway, there is really not much to say about the characters. Hank and friends drink beer and say "yep". His wife gets always obsessed or mad about something or someone. His daughter is plain stupid. His son has problems etc.If there was a show to take off from Sunday afternoon this would be the perfect choice. 1/10 because cartoons are suppose to be funny or at least not boring.

jpgriff It took me a while to warm up to even start to watch this show. In the previews? I was aghast. That white t-shirt? The jeans? The horn-rim glasses? The Wolverine work-boots? The ever-present can of beer? The accent? The attitude? THAT'S MY DAD ca 1977! I don't want to watch a show that makes fun of my late Dad! Fortunately, I got over my "Hits Too Close To Home" jitters and gave this show a shot... Maybe because I, myself am now a 40-something Southerner in (Shiver) jeans, work boots, t-shirt, and ubiquitous can of beer.Hank Hill is not your typical family sit-com Dad... Where Dad has been portrayed since the '80's as a likable but clueless, powerless, and disconnected dope. Hank is actually thoughtful, loving, relatively articulate, and USUALLY right in his good-ol'-fashioned common sense. He's not a clowning buffoon like Cliff Huxtable, and he is not blinded by Jason Seaver's weird theoretical constructs, and he shares none of Dan Conner's frustrated bitterness.His wife, Peggy is not the super-career-woman-Mom, either. She does not have a glamorous career as a Lawyer nor a Journalist, and she doesn't always have the quick, venal, cutting comebacks... Actually? Peggy is a little slow on the uptake, though her inflated opinion of herself drives her to strive ever higher. She actually reminds me very much of some of my social-climbing Aunts.Their son, Bobby, is The Weird Kid at his Jr High School and a constant disappointment. Fat, slow, and not good at anything involving physical prowess? Bobby takes more after his Mom with his dedication to pop-culture, fads, and so-called artistic endevours like being in school plays. Bobby's ambition is to be a stand-up comic, but unfortunately? His Idea of "funny" is the likes of Carrot Top, Yakov Smirnoff, and Gallagher.It's very much a character driven show... And you come to actually like and care for and about most of these cartoon characters moreso than a lot of live-action sit-coms... "Sienfeld" comes to mind. I couldn't stand a single character on that over-lived pile of junk.
