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 =)
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.
If you really pay attention all of the Family Guy stuff is good for quite a few chuckles. Stewie is my favorite character on the show and this dvd showcases him so it was a win, win situation for me from the start. Even if you don't know the Family Guy show this movie is still funny so check it out if you get a chance.
I think Seth and the gang of writers, are hilarious!!! Some of the best on television. The slim shady of television if you will. Says what everyone thinks but never has the 'ballz' to say in public. Scary sometimes how alike the writers and I think... I can see or hear something, thinks it funny, and go home, turn on the tv, and see brian, stewie, or peter trying or commenting on the same thing. These 3 episodes (with some extras) are just a peek into stewie's past, present and future. The story is actually pretty told now, considering it's a common rerun, but an absolute must have for a collecter, such as myself.
for those of you that are not a family guy fan this is the movie to watch. actually they cut a few episodes together and added some deleted scenes. this is the story about stewie griffin looking for adventure and finding more. i personally like the movie and the reason i bouth it is because i am a fan of family guy as well as my nephew. i had to get the movie because i lost the other one.
I bought this DVD for a friend's birthday and it came in excellent timing! The package was a little damaged but none the less it was perfect and my friend loved it! I loved the asking price and the service I got!
THE SELLER WAS VERY GOOD AT SHIPPING THE PRODUCT TO ME RIGHT AWAY. I WAS VERY IMPRESS WITH THE GREAT SERVICE I GOT FROM THE SELLER. I WOULD BUY AGAIN FROM THIS PERSON WHEN THEY HAVE AN ITEM I AM LOOKING FOR. THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE......CHESSIE
If you're a fan of Family Guy & Stewie in particular, this is the disc for you. It has more from the risque baby than you ever wanted to know. Stewie is at his perverse best in the collection.
I BOUGHT THIS DVD THINKING IT HAD TO BE SUPER FUNNY SINCE IT IS A FAMILY GUY DVD BUT I AS I WATCHED I WAS DISSAPOINTED WITH THE MOVIE . IT WAS VERY LONG AND DRAWN OUT AND SURPRISINGLY WASNT THAT FUNNY. SO IF YOU HAVENT BOUGHT IT YET SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY THE DVDS OF THE FAMILY GUY EPISODES SINCE THEY ARE OUTRIGHT HILARIOUS!!! WITHIN THE FIRST TEN MINUTES I WAS BORED AND ALREADY ANCY FROM BEING BORED :)SAT THROUGH IT HOPING FOR IT TO GET BETTER BUT IT DIDNT.
Great transaction on ebay. The DVD played great and was in promised condition. No problems here with this item or transaction. The DVD itself is a must have for any Family Guy series lover. It tells numerous tales of the griffin family centered around Stewie. From the little boy hatred that we all love to Stewie as a 30ish year old loser that has no life and that has remained a virgin. Stewie goes back in time to try and change some facts that caused his life to get way. But Stewie unfortunately Stewie dies in the past. But does he get the problem fixed first and change the time line, or does he just die. Buy the dvd and find out.
very funny family guy episode they have stopped the show from running so what is out is all there is till they start again in a couple years hopefully from now buy this definently if u are a fan of the show not for children or family time :P lol but very funny if u like a good honest laugh about everything going on in life this has it all so buy and love it

I bought the movie as a Christmas gift for a Family Guy fan. If you like the Family Guy series on Fox then you will enjoy this movie which explores, in its usual irreverant manner, how Stewie came to be Stewie...it is largely very entertaining, but at almost 1 1/2 hours its a little long and at times the "funniness" gets mired down...however, its a great investment for those who love Peter, Stewie, and the rest of the crazy family!!!
This dvd is the bomb! I thought it would not be sent to me, but when I bought my XBOX 360, heaven just opened its doors - I received it the same time! I waited in the mail, but when it finally arrived, I enjoyed it like an adolescent boy just learning to masturbate. See how that feels! I am sorry for the bad commnet I gave while this dvd was in its way!
So far I have been very pleased with everyone I have purchase, since I've been a buyer. Everyone has sent out my shipment in record time for me to receive my items I have purchased. Very kind people that I have worked with..I have been telling my family and friends about it, to get them to buy the same way. Thank you to every one who have been a great help. Rebecca
I love it its a great movie. I decieded to buy it cause that little boy stewie is so funny. He makes me laught how crazy he acts and his little ways that he tries to act as an adult.
this movie is nice broken into episodes and has the same humor in it as the show. fans will love this and newcomers will find it humoruos sometimes. overall its a great movie.
I bought this movie for my teenage sons and my husband. If you are a Family Guy fan you will love this movie. The humor is adult content and NOT politically correct. NOT for young children!
