The Best movie of Your Life, So Far

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2008)

Like Classic Simpsons? Then you'll Love this! The Simpsons Movie combines all of our favourite elements of the beloved TV show, with some new stuff and make the best TV to movie adaption ever made. Though many were skeptical about Springfields jump to the silver screen, the Simpsons Movie was well-received across the globe, and for good reason. From the very beginning it's jam-packed with laughs that poke fun at everything including the very audience watching the movie. The animation is tip-top and shows a new side of Springfield in widescreen that could never be done on TV. This brings so much more to the movie, making it a fantastic view for both fans and newcomers to Groening's story about a dysfunctional family.
Moreover, it's laced with tonnes of references that hark back to the early days of the show, eg. 'the ambulance crashed into the tree of Springfield Gorge'. The Die-hards revel in the countless call-backs to the show, while the outsiders enjoy the comedic film from a different perspective. You can also enjoy all of your secondary characters, almost all of which appear in the vast crowds throughout the movie. Those who prefer the older episodes rather than more recent ones of The Simpsons will be delighted to see this fine movie, with The Simpsons at their very best. All of this along with the worldwide phenomenon of new character SpiderPig and an epic storyline to match bring The Simpsons into their greatest adventure of all-time. Praise Jebus!
