Family Guy: It's A Trap! [Blu-ray/ DVD + Digital Copy]

Just as fun as the others
I am reviewing this, like I did with Partial Terms of Endearment, from a free rental I received before street date through my employer. Perhaps the lone perk of working in a video store!

'It's a Trap' opens with your typical Star Wars style scroll in which Seth admits that he really didn't want to do this one, but with the success of the previous two Fox had demanded it. He does ask for viewers to suspend their expectations and promises a better product on their next venture, however I think this is largely tongue-in-cheek because this one was every bit as enjoyable as Blue Harvest, and in my opinion better than Something, Something. A few gags do drag a bit too long, and seem like they are just filler, but the laughs more than make up for the lags.

Return of the Jedi is arguably the easiest of the Star Wars films to pick apart, and they do a great job with it. I didn't feel that the material was tired. It actually had some great moments. True fans of the show...

Beyond disappointing
This is a bit hard to write because there are just no words to describe how pathetic and lazy this effort was. Jedi should have been awesome. I didn't think part two captured the hilarious charm of part one, but it was still OK. This should never have been made. The ball was dropped so many times it wasn't funny.

LAUGH, I nearly didn't, then I actually didn't.
Anything that starts with an apology really should get you worried.
Like text messages a sprawling movie message is observed without context,
So whether it was sarcastic or implied it reads like an actual apology.
Which then puts the viewer into a worried non-funny state of mind, which the rest of the production keeps you in for an hour.

Pros:
- Star Wars characters and settings.
- About two funny jokes.

Cons:
- CONWAY TWITTY, including this characters was slightly funny the first episode they did it in.It stopped being funny when they put in 2 FULL MINUTES of him into a later episode. Now its just padding, obviously unfunny padding.
- American Dad and Cleveland characters.
Nothing wrong with these characters being in the show, but they don't do anything funny, so they only give you a giggle if you're familiar with them. And its alot to expect Star Wars fans to have seen the Cleveland show.
- Another 2 minutes...
