I saw "The Simpsons Movie" over the weekend and, as a fan, I must say, wow! This may not be the best movie of all time, far from it, but it is very, very good! If you like "The Simpsons", you'll love the movie! I'll let the review stand for itself but, one word of advice:

STAY FOR ALL OF THE CREDITS! YOU WILL MISS SOME OF THE FUNNIEST LINES OF THE MOVIE IF YOU LEAVE EARLY!!

Well, I couldn’t leave early enough! Not being a viewer of the television show, my mind was not destroyed or damaged by it, and I spent most of the theater time wondering why some people were laughing to beat the band over such simplistic and, even, moronic behavior. If plot could have non-sequiters, this movie was fully loaded. It’s pretense to subtle wit was the only thing laughable about it. Clearly, this movie is the best evidence that our educational system has succeeded in dumbing down standards of cleverness and wit.

Loved the show in the early years and think it jumped the shark a while ago. Didn’t come close to laughing in any of the trailers I’ve seen. Spider pig? Doesn’t seem like really A material.

Watched it this morning with my 11 yr old boy.

He and I both laughed through the while thing. Its a MOVIE! it ain't a documentary.

It’s obvious they used the larger audience to bash Bush and force their lib beliefs on the audience. Gay kissing policemen? Bleh! Not funny.
