The Simpsons Movie

I’m a week late, but better late than never! Last Friday, a few friends and I went to a matinée showing of The Simpsons Movie. I had high hopes for this movie, 18 years in the making, and I was absolutely not disappointed!

Now, if you go into it expecting some epic movie, then yeah, you’re not gonna find what you’re looking for. To me, this was a really extended episode of The Simpsons, with a more in-depth plot, and a much stronger storyline than you’d expect to find in the regular 30 minute spot.

I’m pretty sure they managed to include almost every Simpsons character without simply shoving them in your face.

I was really pleased to find just enough jokes on this being a movie about a t.v. show! My favorite was Homer in a theater, yelling at the audience, accusing them of being stupid for paying to watch something they could be watching for free at home on t.v.!!

I’d have liked to have seen a few of the jokes a little more fleshed out, such as the whole scene with the pig. I was expecting a few more aliases for Spider Pig, but I spent plenty of time laughing over his song.

Overall, the few of us who went spent a large majority of the movie cracking up. Including during the credits!
