A pleasant surprise

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2007)

I don't consider myself being much of a fan of the whole Simpsons series. I mean, I like them, I saw couple of episodes but I have never found myself waiting in front of my TV waiting for a new episode. But according to the reviews here on IMDb I was kinda curious to find out what this new movie was like. Well it is a really pleasant surprise. Even if you're not a Simpsons fan, you will definitely like it, although the first half is with no doubt better than the second one. As in almost any animated movie you can find here a lot of references to other movies, celebrities and contemporary phenomenons. Despite of the fact that the movie is animated, it's (as has been already said) better if you're a grown-up and a movie fan (ie. you have seen a couple of recent movies). Therefore you can truly appreciate inside jokes and enjoy the movie the way it was intended.
