The picture quality (and animation) is about the same as a regular episode. VIDEO: "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" is presented by Fox in 1.33:1 full-frame, the show's original aspect ratio. Overall, fans of the show still will likely want to check out this feature, but it's not as ambitious as I'd expect from a "Family Guy" picture.
Although there are some incredibly funny bits (Peter in the John Goodman role in "Roseanne", a riff on "Ferris Bueller", some TIVO material, a funny throwaway "Star Wars" gag, as well as a goof on "Family Feud") here, the plot doesn't sustain the film for the entire running time, and a few stretches (such as the opening and closing wrap-arounds) drag noticably. "Family Guy" is often brilliant, but "The Untold Story" doesn't stand up to some of the best episodes of the series. In a side story, Peter gets a gig hosting a segment called "What Really Grinds My Gears" on the local news channel, which turns local anchor Tom Tucker jealous. Needless to say - and I won't ruin anything by actually detailing the twist - things don't go exactly as Stewie planned. In a search for what he thinks must be his real history, Stewie travels to find him. After coming to the realization that Peter is far too stupid to actually be his father, Stewie thinks that a man who he sees that looks like him and thinks he must be his real father. "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" essentially revolves around Stewie trying to find his real father.
STEWIE THE UNTOLD STORY UNCENSORED MOMENTS MOVIE
The show's cult following and success on DVD had Fox reconsidering the show's cancellation, bringing it back for a new season (one episode's parody of A-HA's "Take On Me" video is one of the funniest things I've seen in ages) and this feature-length flick, which is essentially a lengthy episode of the show (the movie will be broken up into three episodes and broadcast on TV.) Peter (creator Seth MacFarlane) is the heavy-drinking father who works in a toy factory, Lois (Alex Borstein of "Mad TV") is the calm leader, Meg (Mila Kunis of "That 70's Show" and Lacey Chabert for the earlier episodes) is the insecure daughter, Chris (Seth Green) the chubby and dim-witted son, Brian (MacFarlane) is the alcoholic dog who talks and Stewie (creator Seth MacFarlane earned an Emmy for his voice work on the character) is the diabolical baby who is bent on world domination. The show developed a cult audience that followed it despite Fox's frequent shifts in the show's timeslot.įor those unfamiliar with the show, it focuses on the Griffin family, residents of Quahog, Rhode Island. A mixture of "The Simpsons" and the darkest parts of "Married With Children", the TV-MA show seemed to take pride in pushing the limits and seeking out as many targets in current society to goof on as possible.
It truly ran like a longer episode.Out of the small animation boom that happened a couple of years ago (see also "Futurama", "Clerks", "Dilbert" and a couple of WB animated shows I can't remember the names of) came "Family Guy", one of the most hilarious and controversial shows that Fox has aired. It really ran smoothly and didn't make you wonder why something was happening. There was enough story to keep you interested and it was not choppy. The story was complete, and interesting and honestly kept you laughing the whole time.
The movie continued to include most of the characters from the series, even the minute ones that only show themselves here and there. I have to admit my favorite was the scene from Ferris Bueller's day off. They referenced some movies such as Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. There are some classic quotes that will enter the English language regularly I'm sure. 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. Yes, there is fouler language than usual, but it made the movie that much funnier. I was lucky enough to see this movie before it came out and was not disappointed. I am a fan of the series, although I would not consider myself a huge fan.
