Irresistibly hilarious!

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2007)

Irresistibly hilarious! It's awesome how The Simpsons can still manage to make us seriously laugh after all these years, in its trademark brand of wit and self-deprecating humor.
Despite having already seen some funny vignettes in the trailers, they are still funny when seen again in the movie (in 2-D! as Moe proudly says), and it's a big relief that there's actually more of those in the full-length movie. Another brilliant thing about The Simpsons: each character, no matter how small a role, is memorable and likable.
The lead characters, especially, manage to make you care about them no matter how radically different their personalities are: Homer, the dimwitted husband to Marge, the ever-forgiving and perfect wife and mother to Bart, the wise-ass troublemaker; Lisa, the idealistic wunderchild; and the quietly intriguing baby Maggie. Then of course the slew of other characters that would be impossible not to name (as they had in the trailer): Flanders, Santa's Little Helper, Otto, Apu, Mr. Burns and Smithers...
Stay till the end to hear Maggie say her first word!
