The hype is justified.

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2007)

"The Simpsons" movie offers fun for the entire family, and not just for those who laugh at anything, either. The 90 minute jammed-packed comedy made the audience literally "LOL" every minute. The elements of humor, satirical, political & random- is what you expect in a Simpsons movie. It's a bit different than the regular 30 minute shows, since the movie is too short to have a really meaningful plot. Homer Simpson has doomed the town of Springfield. By dumping hazardous material into a lake already haunted by years of toxic treatment, Homer indirectly causes the destruction of Springfield. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). After capturing a specimen (squirrel) that was transformed into a mutant squirrel , they decide to trap Springfield in a large dome that is indestructible. The entire town of Springfield, unable to leave anywhere outside the dome, become lunatics and drive the Simpson family out. The Simpsons have to survive and save their city.
This was a funny movie. Don't go in expecting a rich storyline or some sort of developing plot. That's not the point of the movie, all it intends to do is make fun of the characters, and hopefully make you laugh the whole time. Bring friends and family!
