Synopsis:
After Homer accidentally pollutes the
town's water supply, Springfield is encased in a gigantic dome by the EPA and
the Simpsons family are declared fugitives.
The Freak's Rating: A :
The Simpsons was recently renewed for its 17th
season, making it the longest running television
show in history. There are many reasons
the show has lasted so long. The cast
stays the same age, allowing for the best
familial unit to never become spoiled by kids
growing up (think Home Improvement's horrendous
last couple seasons where their children grew
up). Animation allows characters to go
through physical transformations, cuts, bumps,
bruises, etc... and continue the following week
with an all-new plot. The primary reason
the show has succeeded on the level it has is
the writing. Much of the original writing
crew that started the show 17 years ago is
present in this film and therefore it does the
show justice in the transformation from small
screen to big screen.
The
Simpsons Movie had an uphill battle ahead of it
before the opening credits and right from the
start (with little Ralphie bellowing out the
20th Century Fox theme from within the 0), we
know this will live up to the hype. All
major show characters provide their well known
voices and the writing is as swift as ever here.
Many jokes carry over from the show, most
notably the mystery of what state Springfield is
actually located in, but the movie stands on its
own.
I
laughed quite loudly a number of times and I
truly cannot wait til a second one hits
theaters. For fans of the show, this will
pay homage to the show. For those who are
new to the series (is that possible?), you
should get a kick out of it too.
Sebastian's
Rating: A- : The first time i saw the
trailer, it was funny. but it was watching the
trailer over and over again that made me think
this movie wasn't gonna be that funny. (ect
movies where the only funny parts are in the
trailer.) also being in school, everyone in my
grade wouldn't shut up about spiderpig! it
irritated me.
what also irritated me was people talking about
this movie for ages, for i didn't see this in
the movies. I only came to see it on DVD, for my
mum didn't let me see it at the time. Alot of
parents find the simpsons immature and rude, i
find it too safe in my opion, not breaking the
limits like south park. However i still like the
simpsons from time to time, Because it's a fun
family show.
Anyways, about the movie. most movies based on a
tv show seem to differ from the series itself.
The plot of this movie is actually pretty
interesting, silly, but interesting.
there were ltos of funny parts in this movie, i
was laughing out loud at some parts, but i felt
like something was missing.
However, i have no idea what is missing! good
plot, good laughs, hilarious characters, and a
fun filled 90 minutes. theres nothing to really
complain about.
Alex's Rating: A : Surprisingly good film.
Very funny, moving near the end, and it had a
different feel to the series.
Brian's Rating: A-
: I have got to hand it to the writers of
the Simpsons. They still have got it. The
unique brand of humor that mixes in blatantly
ludicrous stereotyping with a not-so-subtle
political commentary is still funny even after
all these years.
For the most part, the movie is just like
watching the TV series, however it is evident
that the script and writing had more iterations
to polish itself and mercilessly bombard you
with jokes of all types and all angles. It was
almost dizzying to keep up with it all, from
flash imagery, to one-liners to parady. For
that reason along this easily merits another
viewing.
I still find Homer to be the funniest character
on the show. The writers, knowing that fact,
placed him at the center of the script. All of
the supporting characters are used, but the
script is built around Homer. The blatant,
over-the-top stereotype of the typical fat,
dumb, and happy Amertican still cracks me up. I
openly laughed many times during this movie.
Its the best comedy I have seen since Burn After
Reading.
Matt Groening is a genius.
