It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I have never watched this show. I have seen the commercials on TV and find the entire thing totally disgusting and completely not funny! How any one can enjoy or even tolerate this total piece of garbage is beyond me! The commercials alone are idiotic to say the least! I also can not believe an actor such as Patrick Stewart actually lowered himself to this hideous piece if trash! I no longer have any respect for him and I have never enjoyed Seth Rogen! It's totally sick humor with even sicker language! I wonder why this stupid show is still on! It amazes me it has an audience! It's totally scary the thought of who actually enjoys this mess! It has no redeeming qualities what so ever! Don't get me wrong here! I enjoy a good quaility comedy program, but this one...OMG! The whole thing is an insult to intelligence! I get all this from the commercials on TV and if the commercials are that bad...I surely do not want to watch any more of it!

Nowadays the show revolves around pandering to women and teaching the young boys watching it to be wimps and cucks. It's amazing, since in the first few seasons, this show was relatable, had good writing, jokes, and even a serious message in it's plot. Those days are long gone however, as nowadays it's a cringe fest, and even the millions of likes the producers bought for it on Facebook or all celebrity ass-kissing (Kim Kardashian!??? Really?!) can't redeem it or make it authentically relevant again.Instead of being cancelled with dignity, it turned into a spiraling nightmare of cringy two-sentence "plotlines" where Francince is explicitly shown to be with her husband just so she doesn't have to work, and he's just a wallet to her, yet in the end of each episode he's the one who apologizes for some reason. The cucks who are left writing for this show are the most pathetic humans who ever existed (topped only by Chuck Lorre) and the worst part is - some people are still watching this show and are probably influenced by it's terrible, only message. Which is: "Women, be with a man for his money so you don't have to work and for no other reason whatsoever; and men, if your wife cheats on your or doesn't love you and straight up shows it, you need to apologize and still keep her because it's your job to be a spineless cuck, and instead of seeking true love - let the worthless airhead walk all over you". What a great message.It's really, really sad that this had potential, but now it's worse even than the record- breaking below-any-standards downright-ridiculously-bad Cleveland Show, which had similar wimpy cuck themes since season one, therefore nobody liked it.Seth, what happened? Family Guy and American Dad used to be good rebels, a decade ago. Now they're just yet another uninspired mess pandering exclusively to women (the stupid and worthless kind, and even those don't watch your shows) and disappointing all the guys and decent gals who supported you trough your cancellations and made you the millions.It's too late to end it on a high note but at least don't end it on the lowest one possible.

American Dad was one of those series that was on my list of things to watch during prime time on Fox; the catch was, I never did get a chance to see it nearly ten years ago, but due to the nature of cable and catching up – I finally did manage to get some of the series. As I watched the episodes, it was definitely better than the likes of the Simpsons and especially Family Guy. By this point the Simpsons had been pretty stale and Family Guy was starting to lose some momentum. Surely the next iteration of what Seth McFarlane can bring out will be better? He delivered.American Dad stars a typical family; born in the US and otherwise observant of US traditions. The son is a poindexter nerd, the daughter is a rebellious hippy, the wife supports her husband – but argues with him frequently; the head of the household does what he can to hold the family together. Kind of sounds similar to the Simpsons, only it is rehashed through a blender and re-pieced together. The family is not necessarily dysfunctional, but it does have it's moments and they tend to find themselves out of the typical plot of the day. American Dad relies on the same token gags in each episode; they tend to play out with the characters' personalities as most of the household finds themselves each caught up in their own lives. There is always a main plot; but each member of the household almost always gets their own subplot, save for the few times they are altogether, or when a character is missing altogether.One member of the family; an alien, is also a token character that gets his fair share of screen time. Not only does he have more charm about him than other characters, he is the one that is usually cracking dumb jokes and other inappropriate comments. He serves as the show's comedy relief and otherwise often acts as an antagonist that gets the rest of the family caught up in their 'misadventures'. When he is not the one directly responsible, he is often in the midst of their problems and helps them find their way out of it. His claim to fame when not using his wares of knowledge and experience, is his multiple lives and personalities that he has lived, and continues to live through the many guises of costumes that he adorns himself with. The alien is easily the most obnoxious or the best character depending on the plot; he often makes or breaks the episode, so to speak.Most of the plots revolve around the family at large. Banter that occurs frequently is just the icing on the cake; most of the episodes are daily life problems and other struggles that many of us are familiar with, have heard of, or know as a stereotype. This show literally lives through clichés and stereotypes making it very easy to relate to. When not following common tropes it tends to follow urban legends and other forms of American culture through satire.The show can be quite disgusting at times if you've seen it for any regular length of time; I do not recommend it in marathon runs or binges – it is best drawn out over time. The show is not afraid to use violence, blood, gore, sexual references and any manner of crude humor. Unlike "Family Guy" what goes on in American Dad tends to be just a bit more tasteful and done with a good reason. If someone is maimed or gored, it is either because of the current plot of the day, or due to the fact they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rarely does the show resort to blood and gore for the sake of shock value; more often it is part of the plot itself.The show is not necessarily a step forward in adult entertainment; but it does raise a different bar of quality not normally seen in shows of this type. Adult cartoons are nothing new; but they are also far from common. I recommend this one over others due to how it portrays character, sticks with multiple plots per episode, and otherwise follows American culture.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=9883).

Unlike family guy all all characters are likable if not lovable in this cartoon, the humor is less gross (only by family guy stats) and the jokes are just better, less cringe worthly. You do need to give it a fair chance like family guy America dad has amazing epsoides and not so amazing ones, but is still funny or makes you think. Patrick stewert has is the voice of stans boss at the CIA which is pretty cool and is seen of abit of a nut. It does seem like at least for right the moment more thought is going into American dad plots and jokes and family guy humor is just whatever we are popular it doesn't matter. The rating of 10 is kinda high but i think it fights the insanely low scores from people who didn't give it a chance.
