For Family Guy fans, there are no freakin' sweeter words than "Never Before Seen." A triumphant homecoming for the Griffins, Stewie Griffin is not so much a movie as it is a not-yet-aired three-episode story arc enhanced with a home-video-exclusive "red carpet premiere" prologue and an epilogue (capped, of course, with a fart joke). Family Guy's resurrection is a television miracle, and its creators have rewarded the faithful by picking up right where they left off, offending any and all sensibilities (recasting Jesus as comic magician Art Metrano), dissing the celebrity disenfranchised (Ellen Cleghorne references, anyone?), and generally taking potshots at anyone on their enemies list (Stewie breaks the neck of a reporter for Entertainment Weekly, the magazine that once called Family Guy "the Awful Show They Just Keep Putting on the Air"). The Untold Story! is a star vehicle for Family Guy's breakout character, in which the mega maniacal and matricidal infant has a Grinch-like change of heart after a near-death experience (and a disturbing encounter with Steve Allen in Hell) and, more life-altering, discovers a football-pated man who could be his father (the truth is more shocking!). As go the gags, so goes Family Guy, and there are enough good ones here to compensate for the many misfires. The Miller-esque (as in Dennis) penchant for channeling arcane pop culture can grow tiresome. But for those who remember the words to the Who's the Boss theme song, know (or still care) who Steve Bartman is, and are always up for "a sexy party," this will be the greatest story ever untold. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not really a movie, but a great three episodes
Stewie Griffin: the Untold Story is billed as the first Family Guy movie, but it's really a series of three episodes strung together with some filler and extra jokes. This is not a bad thing - Family Guy is at its best when it is wacky and off the wall rather than focusing on a continuous plot, so I don't think a full-length movie would show off the program's strengths. Instead, what we have are a few of the best Family Guy episodes out there.

The basic plot of Stewie Griffin: the Untold Story is that Stewie, after a near-death experience, sets off to find himself and in the process comes to suspect that Peter isn't his real father. That starts a country-spanning search for his real father, with a twist that is immensely satisfying. The story here is very similar to the TV episodes "Road to Rhode Island" and "Road to Europe" in that Stewie and Brian travel as the odd couple through many bizarre situations, while the rest of the family is largely relegated to the side plot. Despite spending two years in cancellation, the show picks up mostly where it left off with some excellent jokes and zany cutaways.

There are a small handful of annoyances with this DVD, although they are mostly minor. Family Guy in general has relied on a lot of the same type of jokes for years, including the ever-tired fart jokes, and they do sometimes seem to repeat themselves. However, this is a flaw that shows up in later series of the TV show much more than in this self-contained movie. As another minor annoyance, the DVD, despite being billed as the Uncensored Version, is indeed censored for language. You can turn the censorship off in the options, but it would have been nice for the uncensored version to be the default - especially when there is a censored version people can buy if strong language offends them (and if it does, why on Earth are you watching Family Guy in the first place?).

Overall, Stewie Griffin: the Untold Story is not really a Family Guy movie, but it is a very strong three-part episode that fans of Family Guy will love. Its weaknesses are largely cosmetic, and it will provide a lot of laughs before its 88 minutes are up.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great entertainment!
What a super gift for someone who needs a laugh. Who doesn't these days?



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best movies.
I have always been a big fan of family guy and this movie is on my top three. The best part about this movie is that you can watch it in the uncensored version. I watch this movie over and over again. If you like family guy. You will definitley want to see this movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Funniest show on TV
This is by far my favorite show on TV. As a long-time Simpsons fan, I was skeptical when The Family Guy came out and never watched it until after it was on DVD. I'm glad I did. I bought all the DVDs to catch up and now never miss an episode. It's the funniest show around.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Funny funny FUNNY!
Love Stewie's Character, although he is evil, the little guy is funny, He is also very confused. Stewie Griffin the Untold story is a Straight to DVD movie, but does a good job with the silly story about stewie meeting himself in the future.
