The Simpsons Movie

Almost 20 years since the family first broke onto our screens. This film has been a long time coming, but to make the film way back in the early 90's would have been a huge mistake. In the 20 years the characters have developed and grown, so to make a movie now would be perfect timeing. The film is so funny, allot of the gags are physical slapstick, these will connect with the kids, but it's the other gags, as with the brilliant dialogue that will make adults laugh. But the film does have a few problems. Some of the characters are just camio's and the side story with Lisa's first love falls a little flat. But if you want Homer at his best, then this is the film. Just watch him with his new love ( SPIDER-PIG ) and the uncomfortable scene where Homer expresses his true feelings towards the Pig fringes on Beastiality! This movie could have been three episodes strung into one. This is not the case as the movie does have a propper story. Any Simpsons fan should buy this film, as it would… more »

Any Simpsons fan should buy this film, as it would sit nice on the shelf with the other Simpsons DVD's you no doubt will have.

I'm confused as to how people believe this is a 5 star movie, unless the episodes of the Simpsons those people like the best are the ones where Homer gets "assaulted" by a panda. To me, the film only highlighted the problems that this show has had for the better part of a decade. What was the point of Lisa? What was the point of the pig, apart from a shallow plot device? Remember when the Simpsons had a surreal look on everyday stories? Yeah, not any more. Springfield is in a dome! What biting political satire! Even Itchy and Scratchy failed to be funny because it went on too long. Were this a stand-alone movie, or even a family guy movie, i may have liked it. But it wasn't, it was the Simpsons, which used to be the best show on television. Now its the wacky adventures of mean spirited selfish idiot Homer and his wacky pals. Do yourself a favour and watch the series 3-8 golden age of the Simpsons before you go declaring this the best film ever, because it is an embarrassment compared… more »
