Review
As
always, when a television show is adapted into a feature film, it
suffers from it. The format needs to be changed (or so they seem to
think), and what usually must pay is the quality of the narrative. Stewie
Griffin - The Untold Story is far from as tight and effective as the
remarkable TV-series, but - of course - it features the same creative
humour and wonderful characters. Seth MacFarlane is a great actor only
using his voice, and the film makes good use of his Stewie character as
we follow his destiny - past, present and future. The film is thoroughly
enjoyable, but can't refrain coming off as somewhat disjointed and
episodic. Which is fine - we'll always prefer the series anyway.
