Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

InformationRap 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.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

brucetwo The visual style of this cartoon is a COMPLETE rip-off of 1960s-1980s underground comic artist KIM DEITCH. Is he credited anywhere? Look at his artwork and his plots and you'll see what I mean. Many of the same characters as this show are in his work--or pretty similar ones.Check out this YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfqCgf8867c You'll see what I mean.Deitch is/was a contemporary of R. Crumb, Zap Comics and all the SanFrancisco-engendered underground comic book artists of that era, though his work seemed to have more an east-coast NYC lower-east-side of Manhattan subject or vibe a lot of the time. I could not find any allusion to Deitch on this "U-As" IMDb entry, and when I watched the show--on Comedy Central I think--the credits went by too fast to tell.By the way Deitch was affiliated with animation artist Sally Cruikshank at one time.

wilkerma This is my new favorite show on television and is a real breath of fresh air into the adult animation genre. I have a really morbid sense of humor and this show fits it perfectly! The basic premises of the show is to take New York City and throw in every monster that anyone, anywhere has thought of and see what happens as they interact with the humans in the city. Demons are middle management in the New York City bureaucracy and Japanese businessmen bought out hell from the devil due to his poor investments! Or take the main character and his girlfriend, Callie Maggetbone. Mark is a truly nice guy whereas Callie is a half human/half devil succubus who enjoys death and destruction. Their relationship swings from the two of them dating to Callie attempting to suck his soul out and kill him. The entire show is laced with this type of dry, ironic humor. There are very few simple jokes in the show, rather it relies on the entire episode as one entire extended joke. If your looking for a show that relies on cheap simple jokes keep looking, but if your like me and enjoy extended jokes and have an offbeat sense of humor this is the show for you!

Ivy Margaret "Ugly Americans" is smart, funny, and exceptionally well drawn. The characters are imaginative, and the dialog is very unique.Mark Lilly is a bleeding-heart liberal, determined to make a difference. Everything he does is well-intentioned, but almost completely ineffective. He reminds all men, I'm sure, of the woman who was dangerously crazy, but knew how to keep a guy around with good sex.Randall is the hilarious zombie roommate. He has held up better than other zombies on the show by paying for skin grafts. His one dead eye is permanently out of service, though.Callie, the half-demon boss and girlfriend of Mark, is incredibly hot! She's drawn and voiced well, and even her movements are sexy. Think Leela from "Futurama" with two eyes. She sheds her skin, and looks ten years younger. What man, or woman for that matter, wouldn't like to see that feature in a mate.Leonard, Mark's wizard co-worker, could wave his wand and fix all the trouble in the world. Something, however, has made him very unambitious. Maybe it's the constant flow of magically conjured super-alcohol he drinks, or maybe it's the fact he had VD for 300 years.So far, after 6 episodes, the show is staying fresh and funny. Let's hope the writers don't run out of ideas.

Grog Groggery The show's pilot episode was a strong one , and the next one didn't disappoint either.There don't seem to be any redundant characters so far , and nobody's voice is particularly annoying (a trait often found in other shows).The plots are great and the characters are unique - each with his/her own agenda. It's a bit too early to see if there's any continuity , but that most likely won't be a problem with this show.The animation style is more then pleasant - nothing overly exaggerated or displeasing.Yes it's an adult cartoon , but to each his own. I believe Ugly Americans fits it's time slot well.
