A Brilliant Conflict

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I heard of Greg the Bunny long ago, but passed it up because I thought it was going to go far too far into sophomorism and just overdo it. But now that I watched it, the show is a nice, light, ADULT mix of humor. Sesame Street-- but a Sesame Street where after the cameras are off, the puppets grab a cigarette, take a leak, hit the snack table and think about getting some action. . .maybe, they hope.Seth and Levy are great, but as others have said, they are the sounding boards for the puppets. Greg is cute-- but Warren is a Scream. And the sitcom snaps hilarious because, let's face it, We Don't expect to hear those kinds of things fall out of a Puppet's mouth. The Innuendo is hysterical: Puppet dirty magazines, anyone?The amazing part of the whole series is that the producers and writers played everything on Just-This-Side-of-the-line from raw. The show never dives into obscenity. But the audience fills in the rest and laughs and laughs. A kid-- well maybe a very YOUNG kid (If you raised it right)-- would watch and scratch his head and wonder why his Mom and Dad are gasping and out of breath.No-- Not a hit every time. Not every episode. But hey, it's a sitcom- with puppets!! And it's actually kinda 'sweet'But not for small Kids-- (Not if you raised them right!)

1998-1999-27 episodes: run length 5-10 minutes.2002-13 episodes. 30 mins.2005-????-15-30 minute long episodes.This is a different show! In 1998, the IFC showed Greg the Bunny shorts that were pretty lame, and I didn't much like them. In 2002, Greg the Bunny along with Eugene Levy, Seth Green, Sarah Silverman and Dina Spybey. It was OK, but censered, therefore didn't have enough language or crudity that they could use. Now, Greg has been brought back, first in 30 minute long special called Fur on the Asphalt, then with behind the scene pardies of Pulp Fiction and Easy Riders. The two new spoofs were very funny, because Greg acts like an idiot and Warren acts like a jerk. Count Blah stars in the 2002 Fox version and is a reccuring character in the 1998 and 2005 version. I highly recommend this show! Catch new episodes on IFC every Friday night.original 1998-my review-3/5 stars. Too short and not enough laughs. TV PG.2002 version-my review-4/5 stars. Funny and interesting, but a little too repetitive. TV PG to TV 14DLS.2005 version-my review-4.5/5 stars. Other than the Fur on the Asphalt, these episodes are hilarious! Warren's great. TV MA to TV MADLS. warning-contains F-words and some fairly strong sexual content.

After watching the whole series on DVD, I realised that I'd only seen one episode of Greg the Bunny when it was originally aired on FOX (the final episode, it turns out). It must have left a good impression, since I decided that I wanted to own it as soon as I heard that it was coming out on DVD. The show was just too funny, too original to be ignored. It was also probably too original to survive on network TV. So sad.I think that was the problem, the fact that it was on network TV. Had it been produced for a cable network, like Comedy Central, then I think it would still be going strong, stuffed somewhere between Crank Yankers and Chappelle's Show. Sure, they probably couldn't have cast Seth Green and Eugene Levy, but that wouldn't really have been much of a loss. It's not that those two aren't good in their parts, they are, Levy especially, but the stars of the show are the puppets. The humans serve as sounding boards and straight men, so it wouldn't have mattered who was cast as Jimmy and Gil Bender (I bet Sarah Silverman could still be cast, which is awesome because she rules).Of the mainstay puppets, Greg is actually the least entertaining. However, that doesn't mean that the focus of the show was on the wrong character, sitcoms are usually most effective when the most normal of the show's characters are the lead, with the kooky ones playing off of the lead in small doses. This helps viewers relate and keeps the supporting characters fresh. Examples of this can be shown in Seinfeld, Frasier, all of Bob Newhart's shows, and Cheers. My favourite character on the show is Warren Demontague, a boozy, arrogant, overweight ape who plays Professor Ape on "Sweetknuckle Junction", the Sesame Street-esquire show within the show, who describes himself as "an actor first, a puppet second, and an ape third". His acerbic wit never failed to make me laugh. In referring to dogs, in one episode Warren said "What do humans see in these things, anyway? If I wanted someone to lick my face and poop on my lawn I'd get back together with Farrah Fawcett". That's South Park or Family Guy-type humour.As great as Warren is, no puppet stole a scene like Tardy the Turtle. He was called Tardy cause he was slow, you see? It could also do with the fact that he was "slow". Having the courage to do something that un-PC for the sake of humour is what made this show great, but also why it could never work on network TV, even FOX. Pretty much any scene he was in, you wanted to hear Tardy say something funny (the kind of funny that you know you should feel bad about finding funny). And he always did.Ultimately, it wasn't a perfect show. It's really low budget, and is all over the place in terms of direction and characterisation. Both are also problems that can be blamed on network interference. But it was funny as hell. It left me wishing there was more. I miss Warren, Tardy and Count Blah already. If you like the humour of the shows mentioned above, but have never seen Greg the Bunny, then I highly recommend renting this DVD. There are only 13 episodes (22 minutes each), so it could easily be digested within a normal rental period. If you have vague memories of finding it funny when it was on, I assure you that it is still funny, so you might want to go ahead and buy it.

Well I thought it was great and so did all my friends but face it we where all 11 and 12 so this show did suck to every one else in the world. It was the one thing any of us all liked
