Movie Reviews of Family Guy - Blue Harvest
Movie Review: MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU
Summary: 5 Stars
Fans of the television hit animated show FAMILY GUY are die hard fans. They love each and every thing there is to know about the Griffin family. We all have our favorites (but face it, nearly everyone loves infant Stewie). But the Griffin family can not be contained on this planet as is seen in this week's release, FAMILY GUY PRESENTS BLUE HARVEST.
The title is a reference to the filming title of George Lucas' hit "Return of the Jedi", one of those lesser known facts that fanatics of the STAR WARS films know by heart. Yes, the fanatics of one show meet with those of another as the Family Guy group takes on Star Wars. This isn't much of a leap if you watch the show as references to the sci fi film series have popped up throughout its run (and are collected here on the DVD in the special features area).
The Griffin family is sitting at home one night watching TV when the power goes out. To pass the time, Peter decides to tell them all the story of Star Wars, albeit his version, not the correct one. Each of the family members as well as supporting cast members takes on a different role. For instance young Chris is Luke, Peter Han Solo, Lois is Leia and so on. Funniest by far is young Stewie who appears decked out as Darth Vader, even though he stands no more than 18 inches high.
The film follows the main plot of the original STAR WARS film, the first one that came out not the first one in order. Everything from the Jawas to the sand people to the death star is here. One interesting scene that begs for the pause button is the cantina sequence. See how many characters from other series of films you note in the bar.
The usual off the wall humor of the series is here in spades. Everything from references to things that could have been different (a FAMILY GUY staple) to Han/Peter attempting to load a sofa into the Millennium Falcon.
The DVD also features some hilarious voice cameos, in particular Rush Limbaugh as Rush in the future. His rant about Lando Calrissian taking command of the cloud city due to affirmative action is hilarious.
Special Features on this disc include a rare interview with George Lucas conducted by FAMILY GUY creator Seth McFarlane. The fan boy comes out in Seth as he speaks to his idol. And Lucas shows a fan side of his own for the FAMILY GUY series. Also included are exclusive DVD material, a teaser for the next STAR WARS spoof and more.
For the truly fanatical you can find a special edition of this disc that includes such items as trading cards, a brochure, T-shirt, 3-D fight scene and more.
While animated, this DVD is not necessarily one to recommend to smaller children. But teens and adults will both find something to laugh at here. Let's hope that the do indeed make a sequel. With the number of STAR WARS films out there it only seems fitting.
