Have you ever seen an episode of The Simpson's? Did you like it? Well there is your movie review. If you dig the show, then the movie is one giant run-on episode with a very sturdy plot, some great gags, a few tear-jerking moments, and some hilarious nudity.
if you aren't a fan of the show then you probably don't care if the movie is any good or not. So you can skip to the bottom for my grade if you want. For those who have thought about going to see it here are some other thoughts:
- Homer is such a big lug of a character. Many a human character has emulated the great Homer, but none can pull off being such a dope like he can.
- Bart is the perfect image of teen angst. Even though he hasn't aged in twenty years he still manages to learn from his mistakes.
- The movie starts off in high gear, but it does lose a little steam in the middle. Don't worry, the plot comes full circle and it finds its groove again.
- A few of the jokes were a bit too forward. One crack on the National Security measures was painfully blatant. A room full of government employees are listening in on ever conversation they can to hear buzz words that might mean national security is in jeopardy. The Simpsons are overheard by one of the agents who stands up and shouts, "I can't believe it, the government actually found someone." Blah, I don't really need to be hit over the head with a joke. Either I get it or I don't.
- The movie translates well on the big screen. The crowd was really into it. The experience was a fun one, but you need to be a big fan to drop 8 or 9 bucks on an 85 minute cartoon. I'm glad I got to check it out for free.
