The Simpsons Movie (2007)

Truly Dreadful Film

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It took 20 years for the most famous television family to finally make the jump to the big screen. This is a good movie and if you are a fan of the television show you will not be disappointed at all. Everyone of the Springfield characters we have come to love and adore has something to do in the film. Homer is at his best, as is Grandpa and Bart. The celebrities are all over the place from Tom Hanks to Greenday and the pacing is good- It just feels like an extended episode. The Simpsons are often said to have jumped the shark some time ago but this film is a healthy reminder that it is still an incredibly witty show with great writers.

"Far out" is the first I think when i saw the movie. The movie is a good and funny movie, and it shows very Well how the world works, but with a big exaggeration on some pointsSo if you need a good laugh, i could revommend it

I have just seen the movie and it was pretty good. i was really entertained the first hour of the movie, but when they got to alaska i began getting bored. overall it was a little too cheesy, because it was like: i love you homer. i love you too marge, but overall still very funny:) i would highly recommend you watch, but only if you are above 11.

Homer adopts the pig from a Krusty Burger commercial and sets off a series of events that ruin the environment so bad that President Arnold Schwarzenegger puts a glass dome over the entire town of Springfield! Lake Springfield becomes the most polluted watershed of all time as Homer dumps a giant silo filled with "pig leavings" into it. An evil Skull and Crossbones laughs in the poisoned lake and it creates a mutated squirrel with a thousand eyeballs (but no 3-eyed glowfish). Makes fun of several films including itself: Frankenstein (villagers wielding touches), Austin Powers, Lake Placid, Disney movies, "Under the Dome" TV Series, the "Helping Hands" from "Labyrinth". Look carefully for "special" cameos in the riot-torch scene. Other movie references that I missed, I am sure. Homer also saves the day after the EPA decides to blow up the dome and the town as well. (It will become the "new" Grand Canyon.) Great stylized animation and typical irrelevant Simpsons humor throughout. (Look out! Here comes the Spider-Pig") Just remember, like Homer, if things get really bad, flee to Alaska with your family and go on a "vision-quest" to find your purpose in life. (Was that big idea stolen from "Dances with Wolves" or "Star Wars"?) Starts out with a relatively "mild" Itchy and Scratchy prequel. EPA Director "Cargill" is named after the poultry company and voiced by Albert Brooks. Highly recommended for all Simpsons fans. Baby Maggie saves the day at the very end and Marge forgives Homer, as she always does.
