Family Guy continues where its Star Wars parody "Blue Harvest" left off in its mockery of "The Empire Strikes Back."
So this is an odd movie to review, mostly because it barely counts as a "film," rather just a lengthy TV episode. However, it was almost an hour and had the format qualities of a movie, so here it goes.
I find Family Guy funny mostly because I love humor that references society and pop culture and the like. However, Family Guy has gotten less funny over time, and this endeavor is a perfect example of the lowbrow jokes that Seth MacFarlene has sunk to. Homosexuality, body functions, and just simply unfunny profanity and flat gags. What Seth has going for him however is his perfect comedic timing, but you don't have to watch an hour to get that. Just watch a Family Guy episode; it's crisper. I felt the movie could have had much less rambling scenes of space travel and packed in more jokes.
On a scale of Date Movie being the lowest and Kathy Griffin being the highest, this was definitely about three notches above Date Movie but definitely not near to Kathy's profane genius. It's something that burns time while I wait for the newest episode of Community.
