Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest [2007]
ReviewsHad to "force" a few laughs.. but not bad at all. Review date: 2008-07-30 Rating: 8 out of 10 Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest [2007] I caught a few minutes of this on a TV channel a while back and thought I would buy the DVD. I think some of the comedy in this is first rate! There are a few lines that don't translate too well for the British audience but in general a good buy I think. Usual Family Guy humour - and that's not a bad thing Review date: 2008-07-15 Rating: 10 out of 10 Family Guy are once again on the mark with this hilarious episode, funny affectionate spoof of Star Wars: A New Hope. Some really memorable gags such as the Tie fighter scene and Stewie as Darth Vader, really can't be missed if you are fan of Star Wars and Family Guy or either of the two. I suggest if you like this you should check out Robot Chicken's Star Wars special, as named dropped by Chris Griffin himself. If Ever There Were A Star Wars Parody, Blue Harvest Is The Definitive. Review date: 2008-07-03 Rating: 10 out of 10 For those who are regular watchers of Family Guy you will already know how easily they parody TV shows and movies in sketches that literally last a few seconds. Now they've decided to go one better and make a feature length episode as a parody of Star Wars Episode 4, and let me tell you this is just as strong as those few second long clips. Here is the scrolling writing that Star Wars is famous for but with a Family Guy twist on it all. A long time ago, but somehow in the future. Episode IV It is a time of civil war, and renegade paragraphs floating through space. There's cool space battles, and the bad guy is the good guy's dad, but you don't find that out 'til the next episode. And the hot chick is really the sister of the good guy, but they don't know it, and they kiss. which is kind of messed up. I mean, what if they had done it instead of just kissed? Angelina Jolie kissed her brother. Yeah, she did. You know it, I know it and her Dad knows it. That's why they hardly ever talk anymore. You can run away to Africa, but you can't run away from the truth. Oh, by the way, here's a tip for you: when this is over, go out and rent the movie "Gia." She's way naked in it, and makes out with another chick and everything. It's awesome. I stumbled across it late at night on HBO after I had just got back from hockey, and I almost fainted. But I digest... Princess Leia was coming back from buying space groceries when this happened... When reading that at the start of this, I just knew that the episode would be amazing. Chris as Luke, Lois as Leia, Stewie as Darth Vader, Peter as Han, Brian as Chewbacca and Hebert as Obie Wan Kenobie. Other Family Guy characters obviously take other roles from the Star Wars universe and they all blend together in a brilliant movie/feature length episode. Buy it. I promise you won't be disappointed. Stick to the Star Wars jokes Review date: 2008-07-01 Rating: 4 out of 10 As many people have said - the dvd is hardly worth the money and the episode isn't long enough. In my opinion, it's too long. I tolerate Family Guy but feel that, like the Simpsons, it drags out its jokes for too long in an effort to fill time. There are many, MANY instances where this occurs in the episode (the couch scenes, Obi Wan's song and the Magic Johnson scene, to name but three). It ruins the flow and adds roughly 5 minutes of wasted time. They'd have been better served if they kept their Family Guy style jokes out of it and focused more on satire and spoof of the sci-fi/fantasy classic. The straight-forward Star Wars jokes are spot on. Han's observations on the force, hyperspace and Luke's shooting skills will bring out the best laughs for fans of the movie. The simple jokes such as the "Why are they called Tie Fighters?" add a touch of intelligent spoof. Blue Harvest divides viewers. As these reviews show, people who aren't fans of Star Wars or sci-fi won't get half of the jokes. People who aren't fans of Family Guy won't like the jokes that are drawn out to the point of losing their humour (even some fans of the show think that). It's watchable, but only once or twice.
