Woo-Hoo!! Finally the big-screen debut of America's favorite dysfunctional TV family does not disappoint.

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2007)

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE (2007) ***1/2 (VOICES OF: Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria, Marcia Wallace, Tress MacNeille, Pamela Hayden, Russi Taylor, Karl Widergott, Maggie Roswell, Philiip Rosenthal, Albert Brooks, Joe Mantegna, CAMEOS AS THEMSELVES : Green Day , Tom Hanks) Finally, 18 years in the making, the greatest  and longest running  TV animated comedy hits the silver screen retaining all its iconoclastic brio, sharp-witted comic dialogue, slapstick, running social commentary, and most importantly  heart, yet feeling frankly like a 'special episode' of three shows strung together with Springfield's yellow-skinned family on the outs after paterfamilias doofus Homer (the genius Castellaneta) pollutes the town's water source forcing them to be fugitives and an EPA edict run by a nefarious agent (Brooks in a ferociously funny turn) bio-doming their populace. Breakneck jokes at a rat-a-tat-tat pace, knowing asides to superfans, extended cameos of fringe characters (i.e. Comic Book Guy who might best surmise: "Best. Episode. Ever."), and two-words: "Spider-Pig". 11 of the series' top writers collaborated on Matt Groening's pop culture phenom with antagonistic glee and veteran show director David Silverman does not skimp on the funny. Woo-Hoo!!!
