Christina Reviews *Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story*

         For all fans of Family Guy, here is a feature-length episode for your viewing pleasure.  It’s everything you ever wanted to know about Stewie Griffin, the baby, and Stewie Griffin, the future man. You’ve probably seen this movie already.  I’m probably wasting my time even reviewing it.

        I just wanted to say that some of my favorite Family Guy scenes are in this movie.  There are a few of them, but I'm only going to mention one.  The most memorable scene, for me, has to be the one where Stewie says that he would fit in with the characters on 90210, “even the older-looking one.”  And then it shows the 90210 kids sitting at a booth at the Peach Pit, while Andrea Zuckerman talks about what life was like in her day.  The thing I love about Family Guy is that it makes astute observations that are almost uncanny in the way that I thought the very same thing at one point in my life.  But the references are often times so obscure.  For example, I’ve only seen Where Are They Now twice, and both times it was the Leif Garrett episode.  I thought I was the only one who noticed they seemed to air that episode an awful lot.  And I thought I was the only one who had the misfortune of walking past the cover of Escape to Witch Mountain on several occasions while working at Blockbuster and, as a result, now have the image of the little girl etched in my memory for all time.  And now the movie proves further that Seth McFarlane and I are clearly on the same wavelength.  Gabrielle Carteris (aka Andrea Zuckerman) always did seem 80 years old in comparison to the other characters.
