Stewie: Special DVD features include laid-back cast commentary
Continued from page 5
But be forewarned: If you buy or
rent this movie because of the "un
censored" label on its cover, you may
be confused by the beeps that still
blot out the curse words the first time
you watch it. This is because you
must select the uncensored option in
the language menu of the DVD in or
der to hear, among other things, Peter
tell America to go "fuck themselves."
It also doesn't hurtto wafch this
movie with a friend or two, primarily
because almost no one can pinpoint
all those pop culture references on
the first try. For instance, in one scene
where Stewie gets a glimpse of hell,
the audience discovers the same sit
com theme song plays on ever/ tele
vision channel in the underworld. I
would have been humming the song
for days, trying to figure out what hor
rifying fate beholds us sinners if my
co-watcher hadn't quickly recognized
it as the theme from the '80s classic
television show "Who's the Boss."
In addition to the usual all-star cast,
several guest celebrities appear
throughout the movie. Drew Barry
more plays herself in the unaired pro
logue, which is set up to resemble a
red carpet premiere (an also unaired
after-party caps off the film). Ron Liv
ingston, best known as Peter Gibbons
in the movie "Office Space," appears
as an employee of Quahog's new
Lackluster Video store. And Will Sas
so, from Fox's sketch comedy show
"Mad TV," revives his ever-so
observant Randy Newman impres

The special features of the DVD are
somewhat lacking in this age of Crite
rion collection special editions, but
for true "Family Guy" geeks, the com
mentary contains a number of inter
esting tidbits. It starts off slow-but-in
formative, with narration from series
creator/writer/cast member Seth
MacFarlane, who voices Peter, Brian
and Stewie, among others. However,
as other cast members — Seth
Green, the voice of Chris; writer/cast
member Alex Borstein, the voice of
Lois; and Mila Kunis,the voice of Meg
—trickle in, a more laid-back atmos
phere results, permitting banter that
is unintelligible at times but revealing
and entertaining on the whole.
All-in-all, if you can't afford the
nearly $80 cost of the first two vol
umes, this new 88-minute extended
episode should satisfy your hunger
for the Griffin family until you can ac
cumulate enough cash. Although,
with volume three, which contains
season four, coming out Nov. 29,1 rec
ommend you start yourfund as soon
as possible.
