Good, but not great

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2007)

They must have had kids in mind when they made this - kids who don't watch the show regularly, kids who wouldn't get the offbeat (and obscure) jokes that the show is known for, kids who like to laugh at sight gags. Yeah, some parts were really funny but overall this movie lacked the wit and sarcasm that makes The Simpsons great. It almost felt like they were holding back intentionally by throwing in some hilarious bits and pieces and then reverting to the lowest-common-denominator jokes that drag the whole thing down.
There were also a lot of characters who were basically nonexistent, and that was pretty disappointing... not to mention the fact that you've already seen a lot of the funnier moments in the trailers.
Simpsons fans should see it, but try to lower your expectations!
