Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story

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.

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.

The entire first half of the movie is the family guy you love. Fart Jokes, Random Flashbacks, and how horses are bad people. With Character appearances such as the Greased Up Deaf guy, Randy Newman, Evil Monkey, and others, why else would you not want to see it?

However, the second half is where it truly gets into Stewie's story, no spoilers here, but you'll notice towards the end that a lot of loose ends are left...loose. Also, the ending (At least when it says "The End") is slightly lackluster. But I only noticed this on my second time through.

Other than that, this movie is beautifully done and features probably the most loved character from all the shows...The Greased Up Deaf Guy.

In conclusion, one of the funniest movies out there, but plan on sharing it among friends, because you might not be watching it more than once.

Thanks Seth Macfarlane for this freakin' awesome movie!

PS: I was disappointed that Meg's sex scene was cut out. It was so tastefully done!

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 recently saw this and I must confess it was awesome. There is heavy Stewie content, and Lois is funnier than I have ever seen; the intro. alone had me on the floor. The funniest episodes ever of family guy have been based on interactions between Brian and Stewie, which MacFarlane delivers. The movie is comparable to a few episodes of the show strung together, but will be enjoyed whether you're a fan or not. To top it off, the "cameos" of well known characters adds an ambiance that Family Guy aficionados will love (much like the first episode of the 2005 season). Although I'm a long time fan of the show, I am usually very pessimistic. However, the only criticism I can conjure up is that I wanted more when the movie ended.
