Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story

I am a fan of the series, although I would not consider myself a huge fan. I was lucky enough to see this movie before it came out and was not disappointed. Yes, there is fouler language than usual, but it made the movie that much funnier. The use of the F word was sprinkled throughout but it was always used in the right places and only for comedic value, not just to have it in there. There are some classic quotes that will enter the English language regularly I'm sure. They referenced some movies such as Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. I have to admit my favorite was the scene from Ferris Bueller's day off. The movie continued to include most of the characters from the series, even the minute ones that only show themselves here and there. The story was complete, and interesting and honestly kept you laughing the whole time. There was enough story to keep you interested and it was not choppy. It really ran smoothly and didn't make you wonder why something was happening. It truly ran like a longer episode. This is a must not miss for anyone who watches the series and thinks that it is amusing!

Absurd? Yes. Obscene? Yes. Funny? .. Kinda.

Family Guy is a cult show.. Or, it's steadily becoming that way, because let's face it, the last TV offerings of the show have NOT been up to par with the "old skool" FG episodes. Good, yes, but just not the Family Guy we all fought so hard to raise from the dead.

That being said, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story! was what I've come to expect from Family Guy: funny moments alternating with hilarious moments (though they're pretty few and far between), periods of dead air, and lots of filler.

This is what happens when the corporate machine begins cranking out episodes instead of it being an artistic creation. Liken the new episodes to the old episodes by likening a reproduction of a Monet painting to the original. Loses something in translation.

The movie focuses on Stewie and his journey of self-discovery. At some times, it borders on just unbelievable, but always seems to redeem itself and justify the absurd turn the story just took.

All our old favorites return.. The Greased Up Deaf Guy, the Mayor, Kool-Aid man, the nudists... It's a nice walk down memory lane for the devotees of Family Guy.

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story! is still worth a view for die-hard fans of the series and all the "old-timers" who remember the good old days on Fox. And don't let the dead air "grind your gears."

I have no idea why an enormous bunch of Family Guy lovers are disappointed with this movie. The movie is just like the show. It's a bunch of one liners with the plot taking backseat to these amazingly written one liners.

Many people in the boards are saying don't put a 10 down because no movie deserves a 10. It's not about comparing it to the Godfather like some people have written, its about the value of how you view the movie in your opinion.

Why buy it? Why watch it? because you want to laugh at what Family Guy does best... roll toilet humor and super highbrow into a small plot that doesn't matter in the end.

This movie is laced with extremely funny references, and lowbrow and highbrow humor. If your looking for more of a story line, watch the simpsons, if your looking complete insanity, watch South Park.

i ADORE family guy, i do. And the movie was.. GOOD, but honestly, I expected GREAT! i think some episodes were funnier than this movie. OK, well at least on the same par. I do like that they didn't overuse the "F" word just because they could. It made them saying it, that much funnier.

What I liked least about it was that it was constructed in 3 segments. They all sort of followed the plot, but it was more like 3 episodes in order. Yes, stuie is still looking for his father, but every half an hour, I feel like the opening credits just started all over again. It shouldn't have been THAT HARD to make a movie flow smoothly.

It was funny, but not like the South Park movie funny. When that came out, it was worth it cause you were laughing the whole time. This movie had some seriously funny parts, but it was pretty mild for the most part. The opening is really funny though, unfortunately, thats where I laughed the hardest.

That, however, is not a bad thing...to many times in these situations the people who make the show may try to do something completely different and it really isn't as good as the show, but here it is. Though really, it is only three unaired episodes of the show with a movie premier scene to bookend them. The first two of these episodes are really funny, with the second stint being my favorite, I just about died at the spider man joke and the thundercats one. The third act is funny, but not quite up to the first two. The main point of the storyline is Stewie as the three episodes sort of have the same theme to them and it looks like it was sort of a three parter with two and three being more of the loop than the first one. Stewie has a near death experience, not only that he has seen a man that looks just like him on the television and he is convinced that it is his real father rather than Peter and this sends him and Brian on a trip to San Francisco. Once there a startling (well not startling by this show's standards) is made. Very funny overall, if you like the show you should enjoy this. My main complaint is that it is supposedly uncensored...well if that is the case why is the curse words beeped out?
