I'm a HUGE Family Guy fan and I awaited the UK release of the movie with high anticipation. It should have been brilliant, but I'm afraid it wasn't.
Through no fault of it's own (they had to try a movie, it was always going to be touch and go), I found it tedious after about half an hour. Family Guy is absolutely awesome, utter genius in fact when viewed in short bursts. As many people have already said, the dynamic works very well as thirty minute bites.
That genius couldn't be transferred to feature length, and it failed miserably for me. I really was left gravely disappointed (I fear the same with The Simpsons movie).
The story wilted and I found it hard to stay with, but the film is saved from the scrapheap, because of some cracking one liners. The only problem was, was that they should've been incorporated into the TV show.
A shame.
