Family Guy Presents: Blue Harvest (2007)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Revisiting this classic after so many years, strange to say but it is a little dated. But still, it holds up. Definitely one of better Star Wars parody out there. I believe this was made back during the height of Family Guy's run. I saw an episode of Family Guy a few weeks ago and it is not as funny as it used to be when comparing it to a decade ago. Anyway, this is worth checking out if you are a Star Wars fan. I thought this was a solo, stand alone film but appertaining this is officially part of the TV show series. Good to know. It is always nice having useless information like that flouting around in my head. Needless to say this generation is doomed. And this end my review.

fan of Family Guy? remember the first Star Wars? well then, you are in for a treat - the one liners are gold, the characters are priceless - R2D2 getting high "I could really go for some Tatooine, Wind and Fire right now" takes a sec, but every laugh is a great laugh - well done guys!!watch it at any cost, and enjoycheck out the credits too, the 'Red Leaders' are listed - Mick Hucknell said his one line and was outRed Ochtobah, shtanding by = pricelessall in all, you will all have a pile of lines as your msn tags after watching this - mcfarlane at his best so far

I saw the episode, thought it was funny, and being such a fan of Family Guy, knew how much Seth McFarlane loved the Star Wars references. I knew it was only a matter of time before a full-on remake of the film was created.Then, I saw that a full-length DVD was coming out with extended and added scenes. Yeah. You thought it was good on Cartoon Network. Nothing compares to Stewie's diaper going over to the Dark Side. There is so much more adult humor. Everything is uncensored, and uncut.The DVD extras include excellent commentary with Seth McFarlane, David A. Goodman, and Dominic Polcino (the episode director). My suggestion is to watch it once without the commentary, and once with. There's a fantastic interview with George Lucas, and a look into how (and why) Blue Harvest was made. I had no idea just how much of the original film was actually used. Direct quotes from Star Wars, scenes taken directly from the film, even 95% of the score is the original score with short edits and the Family Guy adaptation from Walter Murphy. The detail of the animation, right down to the explosions that look like effects taken directly from Star Wars (but aren't), was all done so well. George Lucas should be proud.Seth McFarlane and his team put a great deal of effort into making this a quality and hysterical revamp of a Lucas classic. You can't get the full experience until you see it on DVD, though. Seth, you're a freaking genius.

IMHO, Family Guy just keeps getting better and better with each episode..Last night, I watched this episode, and it just kept topping itself as it went along.I am glad that Lucas has the good humour to allow this and the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode to be made during this 30th anniversary of his movie. I'll have to go back and watch this again with some friends of mine just to see their reaction.I can't wait to see what the rest of this season is going to bring us.. or will the creators of the show push it too far again and get canceled?
