TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . why that notorious Male Chauvinist Pig Champion of Lookism, that Fanatically Finicky Professional Judger of Female Pulchritude; yes, the Bozo who can walk in on a Women's Room Full of Stark-Raving Naked Totally Topless and Barely Bottomless Regional "Beauty Contest Winners" simply because HE BOUGHT THE PAGEANT to satisfy his Juvenile Prurient Interests is trying to Smuggle into our White House as America's FIRST LADY a Eurotrash Porn Starlet whom--to paraphrase the Epic Poet Homer--sports a Hardened Visage Tough Enough to Stop One Thousand Battleships in their tracks. As is often the case, Warner's Animated Shorts Division of uncannily prophetic Looney Tuners deftly casts Foghorn Leghorn as Donald J. Duck and Prissy Squarepants as his third wife, Finlandia, in LOVELORN LEGHORN. Barnyard Dog plays the devious Vladimir "Mad Mutt" Putin here, hatching his nefarious plan to install Finlandia (that is, Prissy) as a Fifth Column Mata Hari in Our Lincoln Bedroom. Prissy uses her KGB martial arts skills to box Trumphorn Leghorn into a position with NO ESCAPE, dooming America to a Red Harvest by Barnyard Putin.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) Weeeelllll.... "Lovelorn Leghorn" is a little cartoon from 65 years ago and as they always do this one runs for 7 minutes as well. It is another Foghorn Leghorn movie, so the voice acting comes from Mel Blanc of course and McKimson and Pierce made it like so many other times too. But i dare say this may not have been their best moment. The comedy here was too gadget-oriented and did not really have that much wit in terms of the characters, also was more loud than funny. Also I wish I would have been more touched by Prissy and how she is a bit of an ugly duckling, but honestly it left me fairly uninterested. Nice ending for her though. But not for the audience. I give this one a thumbs-down.
TheLittleSongbird The Foghorn Leghorn cartoons are always fun to watch. I don't think they are quite masterpiece status but the best of them are enough to make your day whether it was hard or not. Lovelorn Leghorn is not one of the best of the series, some of it is a little slow with a couple of gags feeling a tad too drawn out and the story is not that much of a surprise. However, the animation is fluid and vibrantly coloured, and the music is upbeat and enhances the action, humour and every character expression perfectly. As always with Foghorn cartoons, there is some sharp witty dialogue(Foghorn as always has the best lines). "Your only chance to get a husband is to trap one" is a classic. The gags do work despite them being rather lengthy in development, the rooster trap gag is for me the highlight of the cartoon. Foghorn steals the show, being as interesting and distinctive as ever and Barnyard Dog is a great foil, I always love how he is mix of butt-of-the-joke and craftily vengeful. Both characters are flawlessly voiced by Mel Blanc. Miss Prissy(ably voiced by Bea Benaderet) is a worthy replacement for Henery, though with a different kind of motivation. All in all, solid fun if not quite among the best of the series. 8/10 Bethany Cox
Chip_douglas `Lovelorn Leghorn' is rather a misleading title, as our Foghorn obviously prefers sunbathing over matters of the heart. He won't be receiving much love either, as he is in for a beating. Not only does the Barnyard Dog beat him to the chase to pull the first prank, but before Foghorn can take revenge, he gets another wallop from Prissy and her roller pin.It's no wonder that old square britches Prissy has problems, with all those other hens pointing out her shortcomings all the time. As always Foggy is too much of a lumphead to listen to her and points her in the same direction he always did Henery Hawk. He tells her the Barnyard dog is actually a bachelor rooster in disguise. In return the dog shows Prissy how to build one of his ingenious traps. Even with a big ‘Rooster Trap' sign on it, that feathery nutcake of a rooster still helps her to complete it. Not one of the most memorable Foghorn features. Robert McKimson takes his time in setting up and executing each gag, and therefore the laugh ratio seems to be much lower than usual. Prissy stands in for Henery Hawk quite well, and we do find out there's a whole football field on the farm, but that does not add much. 5 out of 10
