I enjoy Family Guy, I liked the few episodes I've seen of Archer and Robot Chicken. The Simpsons is a favorite. This movie was not what I was expecting at all.... it was so much worse. The farther we got into the movie the more repulsed we were, and my viewing partner was a master of crude humor, and even he didn't laugh. Just so very sad.
... View MoreThis movie was just the worst.The target audience is definitely 14 year old "edge lords". I shudder to think of anyone who actually appreciates the so called comedy in this film. There are very few actual jokes, and mostly just inappropriate and crass lines of dialogue that feel very, very forced.The movie relies on the exploitation of racial, religious, cultural and sexual stereotypes that are harmful to their respective communities. There are ways to satirise and poke fun of certain groups that can be done in an amusing and intelligent way... this is not one of them.The reference to drug use just seems painfully shoved in, and unnecessary. In fact, this whole film is unnecessary. I was waiting for something remotely funny or amusing to happen and I sat through an hour and a half of pure profanity and mindless sludge until the credits started rolling.Visually I guess the film is impressive- but the character models seem odd and unnatural. I can't fault the animators for this though, given they have to make literal cans of soup into characters. This film should have been stopped as a bad idea on paper long before it proceeded to also be badly executed.In conclusion, I hate myself now. This movie has made me hate myself. I can often laugh at Seth Rogen's comedies; Superbad is a very good film, This Is The End had it's moments and even The Interview had one or two moments that made me smile. This film offers nothing. It tries way too hard to be edgy, and comes across as pathetic for trying so hard. A hard pass.
... View MoreThis movie is not very complex, so don't come looking for some hidden meaning or sophisticated comedy. If you just want a good laugh and don't get all high and mighty about the lack of intelligant jokes, then this movie is just the ticket.
... View MoreIs it an American thing to say f*** multiple times to make things more shocking? Does it make things more adult? Cooler? It only annoys me, after hearing it at least 20 times in 5 minutes I switched off. Great idea, but not for me.
