Just like the TV show, so why make it a movie

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2008)

I used to watch the Simpsons all the time, but grew out of it when I got out of high school. So, I haven't seen the TV show in many years. But still this movie seemed just an extended TV episode. You are a sucker just like Homer said if you paid to watch this. I watched it on cable. The plot deals with the pollution of Springfield. It gets so bad the government encloses Springfield in a dome and a lot of it has to do with something Homer did. So Homer and the fam find a way to escape the dome and move to Alaska. But of course, Marge and the kids can't leave everyone behind, especially when plans are to wipe out Springfield. They go back to help and eventually Homer gives in and goes to.
To me it seemed like the cartoon uses most of the same jokes and plot points it did 10 years ago. I think one gets tired of it after about 5 years.
FINAL VERDICT: Only worth seeing if you are a fan of the current TV show.
