Family Guy: It's A Trap: DVD Review

Family Guy: It's A Trap: DVD Review

Family Guy - It's a Trap

Rating: M
Released by Roadshow Entertainment


So, the final Family Guy spin off gets its time to shine.

These at times puerile parodies have been a bit sporadic on the laughs and the creators acknowledge that in this latest release which urges us "To lower our expectations."

And they're right - if you do that, you'll probably enjoy this Family Guy version of Return of the Jedi (the least loved of the Star wars films). With throws to Star Trek, David Letterman, Lost In Space and many more, there's certainly a fair few laughs to be had here and there.

Characters from other Seth McFarlane animated shows like American Dad make appearances and it does feel like creatively they've run a little short on steam. Still, like Piranha (recently released on the small screen), this works with a few beers and a few friends.

Extras: Commentaries from the creators, outtakes animatics and Trivial pursuit make an interesting bunch.

Rating: 6/10
