Sigh

Oh Seth... Seth.. Seth... poor Seth MacFarlane... How conflicted you are.
You can be an insanely hilarious guy.. your stars Mark and Mila can be as well. They both funny and very personable (and Mila is seriously smokin).. I've worked with both and can't say a bad word about either ever. It was my pleasure to work w/them to say the least and I'd be happy to do so again anytime.
Family guy and your work on roasts etc is priceless.
However... wow.. you really shot yourself in the foot on this one.
It does have some good laughs.. but overall.. it is as if you were trying to make two movies at once. One a kidified pile of Disneyish crap and the other an adult comedy.. Sadly due to that conflict it ultimately fails miserably. :(
Many of us had such high hopes for this movie and I cannot fault the cast. But the screenplay creators / director dropped the ball on this one. It could have been a true classic.. but instead is destined to be a dust collector in the bargain bin.
I hate to say it but for Seth MacFarlane fans.. as well as fans of Mark and Mila... skip it.. far too many will be bitterly disappointed.
Oh and a FYI.. my wife and my brother in law.. also big fans of Seth feel very much the same on this film.
