Overwhelmed with what to do with all that extra time in the movie?

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2007)

Have to agree with jdwhite in his review. Just saw the movie tonight and while it was a thrill to see The Simpsons on the big screen and in a movie length feature, it was good but not great.
It had it's moments but there were also parts that were rather weak I thought. It's like they were overwhelmed with what to do with all that extra time. It lost a lot of character because the "characters" (the various faces of Springfield) just weren't very deep. We only saw a small percentage of the characters that make up Springfield and not much focus on them.
Would I buy the DVD when it's released? Absolutely. It's a must for anyone who is a fan of The Simpsons.
I give the movie a 7 out of 10.
It's still amazing when you see the credits at the end and you realize just how many of the voices have quite a few characters that they play.
