| Movie Description The hilariously irreverent and enormously popular animated series THE FAMILY GUY expands to a feature-length movie in order to explore the true origins of maniacal baby genius Stewie Griffin. Seth MacFarlane's family of losers and misfits, headed up by bumbling dad Peter, was deemed too controversial by FOX and ended after an all-too-brief run, only to return to the channel by popular demand. It all starts out with Stewie's near-death experience, after which, shaken and questioning his life, the baby goes on a drinking binge. He resurfaces only when he sees on TV a man who looks just like him, and it dawns on him that this is his real father. Stewie embarks upon a road trip, intending to get to the bottom of it all, while meanwhile Peter is fired from his job for being a bad parent. A must-see for fans and neophytes alike, the movie delivers what audiences have been wanting all along: more FAMILY GUY!

Top Reviews  Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story = Unrated Family GuyReview created: 09/26/05 by:  29 of 41 people found this review helpful. Funniest. Television. Show. Period. And Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story is an unrated, 90 minute family guy movie. Can it get any better? Its heaven if you ask me... Seth McFarlane's Family Guy is the funniest show on television - and it has been for years. Its quickly developed a cult following that is stronger and larger than the Simpsons'. The Family Guy aired on Fox in 1999 immediately following the Super Bowl and received wild attention - though not positive - among the media for its raunchiness and controversial material. After Fox's cancellation in 2002, the Family Guy Season 1 was released on DVD in 2003 and has been wildly successful since. Two years later, the Family Guy DVD is still in high demand on eBay (where it can be purchased for a fraction of the $49.99 retail price) and its still in the top 100 list on Amazon.com. The Family Guy Season 1 DVD was so successful, a subsequent DVD was released and the show was re-picked up on Fox and currently airs on Sunday Nights. The Family Guy follows the Griffins who live in Quahog, Rhode Island and appear to be a normal suburban family. The specific Griffins are each unique: The father Peter Griffin is fat, lazy, raunchy and a simpleton (think Homer Simpson). Daughter Meg Griffin is a homely, unsophisticated 15-year old. Chris Griffin is a 13-year old version of his father. Baby Stewie is a sophisticated big-thinker with plans to overtake the world - the only problem is that only his dog Brian can hear him. Brian on the other hand drinks martinis, dates women, and reeks of sarcasm. The true humor within Family Guy is the writing. Seth McFarlane has a knack for social commentary and sarcasm - attacking anything relevant to current events, pop culture, or the likes... and he does so in on-the-border / is-it-offensive? manners. But make no mistake - while the on-air episodes are borderline offensive, this DVD is unrated and swings for the fences. Just the way Family Guy was written to be =) Review ID: 10000000000003382 Was this review helpful? Report this review A Great Feature Film!!!Review created: 12/27/06 by: 10 of 12 people found this review helpful. Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story I didn't expect this movie to be very good, most of the time cartoon feature films aren't. But Family Guy hit the nail on the head with this... by splitting the movie into 3 seperate episodes they made it easy to stay fresh while keeping with a similar story. The Untold Story features some of the funniest scenes I've ever witnessed in a cartoon. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: If you're a fan of the Family Guy series youc an't go wrong here. I've watched this DVD 10-15 times, and you will too. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you. Review ID: 10000000002569666 Was this review helpful?

Very funny, American comedy at its peak, must see if you are a fan of the TV show: Family Guy. I laughed more times than I can remember during this movie.

There's just too many funny parts in this movie to mention. Of course, I watch Family Guy every time I get a chance, so it doesn't surprise me that I loved it. It is kind of hard to make a full length movie that has as many stupidly hilarious moments as this one did. If you dig family guy, you can't miss this movie Review ID: 10000000000112152 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Didn't GIGGIDY Giggle As Much As I Thought I WouldReview created: 10/14/05(updated 10/14/05) by: 11 of 23 people found this review helpful. I was slightly disappointed by this straight to DVD movie of TV's most dysfunctional family. The movie is being labeled as 'uncensored' when in reality it's not. Sure, there's a few of 'the' bad swear words here and there but they're all bleeped out. How can it be censored yet uncensored all at once? I was hoping we'd see a no holds barred approach but instead it takes the easy way out; there's been episodes on TV where they've done the same thing so I don't think it should be labeled as Family Guy to the max. The show itself has some ups and downs. The movie is bookended by a reality-themed movie premiere of the movie itself. This ends up hurting the movie slightly and looks to be added in later judging by the continuity. Not to say that there's not some humorous parts (the previews come to mind), but they have a tacked on feel. This is especially evident at the end of the film where you get the feeling that they are just padding the running time during the movie's 'after-party'. The film's strongest moments happen in the first act as the other reviewers have stated since this has little to do with the overall plot and is instead the makings of a great episode. After the, the movie simply loses a little too much of its energy. This is especially evident in the tedious second act where nothing of real value occurs. The final third tries but can't recover as the plot twist doesn't really have the 'oomph' you were hoping for. Instead, it meanders around a little bit before it realizes that it has to suddenly end. Overall, I kind of feel like this could have simply been made into a two part episode on the series with some tighter writing. I'd love to see a South Park-like escapade for the show that pushes the 'R' rating to its threshold. Now THAT I would see. Review ID: 10000000000026654 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
