After 400 episodes & 18 years, this cartoon sitcom finally hits the big screen. I actually did not expect so much from this movie and was generally surprised at the clever wit and satire used. But to be completly honest…it was exactly what you’d expect from The Simpsons Movie.
After watching the show for almost two decades, I was somewhat of a skeptic thinking it would be the same “ay carumba”, “d’oh”, “don’t have a cow man” kind of jokes but there were actually a few laugh-out-loud moments.
The movie is based on yet another Homer Simpson screw-up. And like many before, all Springfieldians are out to get him. I’m certain you can figure out the end yourself but its all the filler jokes that make this funny.
I personally found it better than a 20 minute episode because there was so much extra time to add outrageous jokes and asides and that’s what really makes this movie. Its not likely to be anacadamey award winner but its definitely some fine entertainment. I give it 4/5.
