The Simpsons Movie : 4 of 5
7.30.2007 6:56 PM \| Link	I'm really only a semi-fan of The Simpsons, since there are hundreds of episodes I haven't seen, but I still love the show enough to know that I had to see this movie right away (and now that I've seen it, I want to start recording the show again)! After so many episodes, I'm sure it was next to impossible to come up with a plot, but the writers did a great job of including everyone's favorite characters (I love the Comic Book Guy, who shows up just long enough for some choice hilarious lines!). The first half of the movie had me roaring with laughter - the pace is really fast and the jokes keep coming. I really loved seeing a few things they could never show on TV, especially Bart's nude skateboarding, with the outstanding sequence of things coincidentally hiding his little yellow privates, until suddenly... well, you just have to see it! Of course, the Spider-Pig song was great, and the big finale is pretty exciting and funny, but unfortunately there's definitely a slow section of the film where things get kind of gooey and emotional (but I guess that happened on every TV episode, too). The animation is certainly "Simpsons style", although the backgrounds and environments are CG, which makes everything feel a little more like Futurama. I had a great time at the theater, and I definitely recommend The Simpsons Movie to anyone, not just fans! Labels: movies
