Blistering performances.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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

I have seen every episode of this show and every one of them is hilarious. The cast is amazing, and star studded. I especially love the Sigfried and Roy characters, who are always soo funny. It's like the Lion King meets Las Vegas. I can't see how this show won't go on to have many seasons. I am very impressed with this show's humour, it's characters, and most of all, the pixar-style animation which I so dearly love.The whole show pleases me to no end. I wish it all the best in the future. I hope audiences find and love this rare gem of an adult cartoon.

I don't know what "TheMightyN" is talking about... but Father of the Pride is probably the funniest show on TV this season. It's hilariously written by writers from Conan O'Brien -- the humor is very adult-like, and my friends and Iabsolutely love it. The humor is sarcastic and comic timing is amazing.Whoever does the voices for Sigfried and Roy -- they are literally so funny with their lines and delivery that I almost fell off the bed laughing during the episode with Sierra and the Catnip. I'll admit, John Goodman really isn't the star of this show -- it's definitely Carl Reiner and Sigfried and Roy. Their metrosexualbehavior is just over the top funny.Hopefully, it won't get cancelled. I haven't seen it in a couple weeks due to election coverage, etc. but I hope more episodes are on the way!!

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.
