Editorial Review:
In this exclusive 88 minute DVD premiere, featuring brand new, never before seen content, Stewie, the maniacal baby genius, is distracted from his plans for world domination when he sees a man who looks just like him on television. Convinced that this man must be his real father (after all, how could he possibly share genetic material with the dimwitted Peter?), Stewie sets off on a cross-country road trip to find him. But his incredible journey leads him to discoveries far more vile and shocking that anything found in his diaper.
Description of Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story:
For Family Guy fans, there are no freakin' sweeter words than "Never Before Seen." A triumphant homecoming for the Griffins, Stewie Griffin is not so much a movie as it is a not-yet-aired three-episode story arc enhanced with a home-video-exclusive "red carpet premiere" prologue and an epilogue (capped, of course, with a fart joke). Family Guy's resurrection is a television miracle, and its creators have rewarded the faithful by picking up right where they left off, offending any and all sensibilities (recasting Jesus as comic magician Art Metrano), dissing the celebrity disenfranchised (Ellen Cleghorne references, anyone?), and generally taking potshots at anyone on their enemies list (Stewie breaks the neck of a reporter for Entertainment Weekly, the magazine that once called Family Guy "the Awful Show They Just Keep Putting on the Air"). The Untold Story! is a star vehicle for Family Guy's breakout character, in which the mega maniacal and matricidal infant has a Grinch-like change of heart after a near-death experience (and a disturbing encounter with Steve Allen in Hell) and, more life-altering, discovers a football-pated man who could be his father (the truth is more shocking!). As go the gags, so goes Family Guy, and there are enough good ones here to compensate for the many misfires. The Miller-esque (as in Dennis) penchant for channeling arcane pop culture can grow tiresome. But for those who remember the words to the Who's the Boss theme song, know (or still care) who Steve Bartman is, and are always up for "a sexy party," this will be the greatest story ever untold. --Donald Liebenson

Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story Reviews:
Great entertainment! 
2009-08-09 - What a super gift for someone who needs a laugh. Who doesn't these days?
One of the best movies.
2009-08-09 - I have always been a big fan of family guy and this movie is on my top three. The best part about this movie is that you can watch it in the uncensored version. I watch this movie over and over again. If you like family guy. You will definitley want to see this movie.
Funniest show on TV
2009-06-10 - This is by far my favorite show on TV. As a long-time Simpsons fan, I was skeptical when The Family Guy came out and never watched it until after it was on DVD. I'm glad I did. I bought all the DVDs to catch up and now never miss an episode. It's the funniest show around.
Funny funny FUNNY!
2009-03-12 - Love Stewie's Character, although he is evil, the little guy is funny, He is also very confused. Stewie Griffin the Untold story is a Straight to DVD movie, but does a good job with the silly story about stewie meeting himself in the future.
2.5 stars out of 4 
2009-01-24 - The Bottom Line:
"The Untold Story" is not much of a "movie": it's padded even at 88 minutes and consists basically of 3 sketches the length of the TV show--it's diverting enough, especially if you're a fan of the show, but is really probably not worth buying.
