A successful move to cinemas

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2017)

TV's longest running sitcom family makes it to the big screen . . . or Homer Simpson screws everything up for Springfield.
Either one is a good way to sum up "The Simpsons Movie", a wholly enjoyable flick that maintains the show's sense of humor. And that's really all that was needed, throw in a few guest stars and some choice one-liners from the various local color, and you've got a movie. In that sense, the story doesn't even really start until the 45-minute mark, with so many side characters being given screen time. Which isn't a bad thing because it's consistently funny. That goes for the whole movie; it's got wit, heart and plenty of Homer's nonsense.
7/10
