It Struck Me, CLOSE to HOME!

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2007)

Normally, I don't watch the Simpson cartoons and I wasn't interested in watching this movie, but my wife was with me, so we decided to watch it, together.
However, this movie was very different... My wife noticed that I became emotional during the movie... I told her that the movie reminded me of my life, growing up in the USA. How Homer treated Bart was very, very similar to how my dad treated me during my younger days. I told my wife that this movie reminded me of my past life in the USA. --- Nowadays, my dad (living in Seattle, WA USA) stays close to me, even though I am now living in Manila, Philippines.
Other than that, my wife said I act like Homer Simpson. Well, I don't think I do, but she said I do.
Considering I was living my 1st 35 years in the USA, I was telling my wife that the attitudes expressed in the Simpsons movie is very close to reality in America. The movie is intended on being funny, it's really a reality to those that live in the USA. I've lived in Anchorage, Alaska, USA, too. My friends and relatives thought all of the movie was made up, but I told them that I remember the announcement, many years ago, that the Simpsons cartoon will be made into a movie.
Overall, I don't recommend this movie for young children because of the drama within. The movie emphasized what rejection feels like and that's not good for a child to watch.
