Home Movies

Home Movies is about a boy named Brendon Small, who video-tapes movies in order to one day become a movie producer.

It's incredibly awkward, first of all. I think the humor comes more from the coach than it does with Brendon or his mother. I don't really like the characters, except maybe the coach a little bit.

The animation is downright lazy. I get a headache watching the first season because of how choppy it is. But I'm glad that they sort of fixed it in later episodes.

I never found myself loving or hating this show. I just don't really understand why it's so popular among people. I've seen a decent amount of episodes to come to my final conclusion:

Eh.

Home Movies is okay. Not great, but certainly not the worst on Adult Swim.moreless

This show proves that animation doesn't have to be smooth in order to make a good show (though it IS very important). Home Movies' animation is very choppy, with "squigglemation" lines, and distorted characters. At first glance, it can turn a viewer off. However, Home Movies manages to do something rare: it manages to be hilarious and totally watchable despite it's oddball external appearance. Its casual and is as hilarious as it is oddball. Its a shame Adult Swim doesn't produce more good shows like this. I give Home Movies and 8 out of 10.moreless

I don't know about you, but Home Movies was always a great series in my eyes. It was clever, and most of the time hilarious. What was best about this show is that it wasn't as trashy as the other shows Adult Swim has around today, it stood out from the rest. The animation was the only flaw though, Home Movies was created in the era of cartoons where the animation had improved. Other than that, the show is brilliant. And I don't know about you, but this show could be so stupid at times that you couldn't help but laugh at it.moreless

This show is clever. It's style might come off as "dumb" "random" or "pointless" because it is often very realistic, and often very normal. This is the brilliance of Home Movies. The animation is sub par on purpose, it's a style. This show is only funny if you have the patience to watch. If you do, it's almost certain you will fall in love like I did.

Of all the shows Cartoon Network's Adult Swim has shown over the years, none can top the overall abhorrence of Home Movies.



Once a series on UPN(now MyNetwork TV), this garish cartoon is now befouling the Adult Swim schedule.



There is ABSOLUTELY nothing entertaining about a poorly drawn family of cretins being "filmed" by an 8-year old boy, who himself maybe cretinous.



And this animated horror show also featured Paula Poundstone, whose talent is questionable at best.



I am not making this review out of the fact that Adult Swim has relegated all those cool Anime shows at an unreasonable time slot(early morning Sunday), nor out of the anger i felt when they pulled Shin Chan from their lineup, but for the mere fact that the programmers behind Adult Swim are just like their intended audience, sociopaths...moreless
