The show feels fidgety in the beginning. At first it makes you take a second to get used and into it. But it's as intelligent and hilarious a show as I haven't seen one since a long time! That's what I and hopeful many other viewers are going to realize after a couple of minutes. It'S one of those shows that wouldn't happen to be without Adult Swim. Not exactly a family show. Anyways - this show is brilliant. The humor is not as cheap as in most of the successful cartoons and the show is not as comfortable to watch, but that's one thing that makes it so hilarious. It's really dark sometimes, and the viewer with a good sense of humor will appreciate that. The only thing that might make the show a bit better is that the creators could make the characters a bit better known and thus more likable to the viewer. Like this a plot as in episode 6 (SE1) would work even better. Well, the characters maybe a bit flat still, but the plots and happenings are making all this acceptable. Amazingly funny and thoughtful story line for a 20min cartoon show. The sad part is, that it might not really be for the rank and file and as a result might not last for too long or even be recognized by too many people. I really hope this goes on for a while, though! I love this show - it's great. Keep up the good work

PS.: I hope they take one or two scientists on board to help them with Grandpa Rick to keep him on track regarding scientific accuracy. But that'S just a personnel tic of mine...

I don't know how some of the reviews here are so positive! Bad. bad movie. All the happenings seem so constructed, that I couldn't stop thinking why the figures in the movie act so stupidly. Very bad writing. The scenery can be good from time to time. But the events in the movie just seem like none of the characters could make A SINGLE logic and useful decision. 2 stars because it had some good pictures in it. Otherwise more than horrible movie that made me think "What? Oh, come on!" about a hundred times. it almost seems like a spoof of a good vs. bad plot. And on the way we have a bunch of bad jokes to mess up this movie even more.

Nice movie, little different from time to time, really watchable. Also a great chance to think and talk about freedom, determination, guilt and our judicial system. The acting of Jack Black: Superb! The casting was great, even the fake interviews where great and the towns people were very believable. ONE BIG EXCEPTION: Matthew MacConaughey. He was the only one that made this whole movie a little bit of a farce and very unreal. Casted to play a simple minded, full of himself wannabe Cowboy, who knows how to get what he wants, he had to overact sometimes and the way he talked and acted just in very few moments seemed believable. The way the character was interpreted would have been OK for some overacted slapstick comedy flick, but not for such a dark, slow, intelligent comedy as it was intended here. McCanaughey can play NYC-Lawyers, sharp criminals, brilliant detectives, maybe an non likable guy as they tried in Bernie, but not from a small Texas village - he has more the vibe of a douchy rich guy, or a totally arrogant guy from a big City, everything but a guy from a Small Village. I find this problem often in Hollywood movies that play in one-horse towns like this. They sometimes try to make their pretty famous actors fit for these roles, but a stupid accent, a cotton mouth, stupid behaviour and shitty clothes just don't make a transformation complete if you have a face like an angel, hair like a queen, teeth like a Hollywood star, skin like a child, a body like an adonis and the attitude and pronunciation of a Harvard graduate. It just ends in unbelievable overacting and trying to be a redneck-sheriff type of guy just ended in overacting and a bit of a farce here in this context, too. And because of being so present in the second part of the movie, for me he destroyed the whole picture that was intended to be delivered to the viewer. Shame on you, casting crew! I feel sorry for ALL the other actors that where so perfect in this movie!!! Without MC I'd give the movie a 7 or even an 8. With him it was a 6-. But still: watch it, it is entertaining and some scenes are just brilliant!

thanks for reading.
