granted, as a 31 year old male, i'm not exactly in the "target audience". but i've found myself watching a lot of Nick lately (Sponge Bob, Wild Thornberry's) and happened to catch this show.

i like it a lot. the premise might be a little old, but it's funny and there's usually a lot going on to keep you interested.

if i had kids, i'd let them watch this. and isn't that what it's really all about? somebody complained in another comment the show was "morals, morals, morals". why is that such a bad thing? if you can teach good morals in an entertaining way, what's the problem?

and to people who have a problem with the voice work: Tress MacNeille...look her up.

i have to say, after seeing Mystery Train, Down by Law, Dead Man and Stranger than Paradise, i had very high expectations when seeing Ghost Dog for the first (and only) time. Forest Whitaker is a great actor and Jarmusch is a great director/writer/etc.

the long and short of it is this: i hated it. you might say he "sold out" with his first widely distributed picture? who knows what he was thinking when he shot this pile of crap. don't get me wrong: i love Forest Whitaker. he's an outstanding actor. but with this film, Jarmusch shows even his most loyal followers (not me, the REAL followers) that he is capable of making a big budget flop.

Jarmusch is not a comedy director and he shouldn't try to be one. while this movie wasn't a "full on" comedy, there were some attempts at humour and they failed.

there's more, but i don't wanna get going off on a rant. i'm limited to 1,000 words, you know.

powerful movie. it made me cry. several times.

thank you david lynch and an especially big thank you to Mr. Richard Farnsworth. i feel like a better person having watched this film and i recommend it to anyone/everyone.
