Movie Reviews of Family Guy - Blue Harvest
Movie Review: Adorable, Hilarious and a Little Twisted
Summary: 5 Stars
Family Guy is one of the most adorable and most intellectualy funny shows I have seen in a long time. I have never laughed out loud so many times than watching this show except seeing the "Star Wars" edition. Being a Gen-X-er and having watched the early Star Wars movies with my younger brother over a dozen times while growing up (like most my age) I found myself anticipating and quoting the original Star Wars dialogue along with the Family Guy characters then rolling into laughable hysterics when they changed something from the original script (like when Stewie waves his hand to suffocate the naysayer underling who scoffs at his lack of real estate knowledge as it pertains to the DeathStar - TOO CUTE)!
Of course, there are some really twisted moments that younger viewers shouldn't be allowed to watch (i.e. the old man who plays Ben Kenobi - while super funny, his character is distasteful - lol. C3PO/Quagmire's character is a bit rough too). Overall, though, this episode is fantastic and will keep you in stitches from beginning to end. My husband and I still laugh and make reference to it if we're ever reminded of something that happened in the show. Buy this. Watch it when you're having a bad day or when you need a little emotional lift. You won't regret it.
Movie Review: Excellent, pure Family Guy
Summary: 5 Stars
Family Guy's homage to Star Wars is hilarious. The FG character's slip easily into their SW personas while still keeping their original personalities. Stewie is a natural choice as Darth Vader. Some of the others, like Chris as Luke and Peter as Han Solo, seem odd at first, but the writers do such a good job you buy into it. The whole episode has a deep, rich look to it. They follow the story with exactness using the original dialog whenever possible. They've copied every detail to pull you into the Star Wars universe.
Some of the jokes are pure Family Guy, like when Luke is staring out at the twin suns of Tatooine and the music swells, Chris/Luke turns and says "John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra everybody" and there they are playing the score. The Chris/Luke has them play the theme to the People's Court. Other jokes are based on observations I never would have made. On board the Millenium Falcon, when Luke/Chris says to Peter/Han "You don't believe in the force, do you?", Han/Peter replies, "You mean that thing you just found out about 3 hours ago and are now judging me on?"
Blue Harvest is a very funny, very well made episode and I'm glad to hear they are going to do the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Movie Review: The Greatest Star Wars Cartoon To Ever Be Made
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a Family Guys fan since watching the repeats on Cartoon Network and have bought all the sets so far so after seeing this one released I knew I had to get it. Just seeing how they made the Griffin family into the lovable star wars characters we all knew(Except for Meg who's only cameo was the garbage monster in the death star compactor)Stewie was always a megalomaniac so he of course was the perfect Darth Vader,Lois got to be Princess Leia,Peter was the dashing Han Solo,Brian The Intelligent Chewie,Cleavland as the feisty R2D2,Quagmire as the Lusty Threepio,and finally Chris became the renown Luke Skywalker(Lets not say who they picked to be Obi-Wan). They also had an amazing interview with George Lucas and hearing him talk about how Star Wars came to be and his life now is incredible. You also get commentaries from the creator of Family guy and
some advertisements for the family guy show.The video format is full screen with 5.1 surround sound so for the price the dvds going for add this one to your collection today...
Movie Review: Even fun for non-Family Guy fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recorded this episode on my DVR when it aired in the beginning of this season and I must say it is one of the funniest episodes of Family Guy I've ever seen. This aired as an hour long episode so its shorter than 1 hour when you take out the commercials. I've shown this episode to several non-Family Guy viewers and they've all enjoyed it.
You definitely have to have at least seen the original Star Wars movie to really enjoy this or else you won't get some/most of the jokes. But by this time, if you haven't seen Star Wars yet you must be living in a cave.
I don't know if this DVD is really worth $16 however. It will be available on the DVD box set for this last season (Season 6) when it comes out if you can wait that long. But if you really want to watch it now then I think its cool that they are releasing it. Its also a nice piece to add to your Star Wars collection.
Movie Review: Great stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I'm a huge star wars fan and a huge Family Guy fan. This is gold. Marketing by Family Guy is a little squimish, but this is classic. By far my favorite episode of the series. I don't buy family guy box sets because they are too pricy and it's on TV all the time. I had to buy this because "it's so good, it just has to be fattening.' I love every minute of this movie. From the scene in the cantina with the leader of the band pretending to be an audience member saying "play that same song" to the death star guys complaining about wanting a railing but the higher ups were afraid "we'd be leaning." I love family guy but this is by far the best there is. My friends and I are always throwing around jokes from this episode. Couldn't be happier with my purchase... except that I bought it 6 days ago and now it's 5 dollars cheaper.
