I'll teach you to laugh at something that's funny....

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2013)

Lisa convinces the locals to clean up Lake Springfield after the sinking of the Green Day stage at a concert. Homer saves a pig from being killed in Krusty Burger and adopts it.
The Pig fills up a silo with its excrement and Homer dumps the silo in the lake, polluting it.
The townsfolk force the Simpsons to move to Alaska. President Schwarzenegger is induced by his adviser from EPA to put a dome over Springfield to hold the population and destroy the city.
When Marge finds out, she tells Homer that they must return to Springfield to save their town and friends, but Homer is not convinced if people of Springfield deserve their support.......
I remember seeing this on the opening weekend, and it blew me away. It was everything I could of wished for, and a little bit more. Six years later, I introduce it to my daughter for the first time, and while its still funny in places, it really doesn't hold up like it did.
The film relies on being topical, and this is why it worked back then. Now when I hear Spider Pig, or Harry Plopper, I cringe as it went into overkill back in 2007, they used too much of a good thing back then, and they tainted the overall product.
The animation is first class, and kudos to the makers for making The Simpsons actually feel like a film, rather than an extended episode that outstays its welcome.
Simpson fans will love it, but if like me, you haven't seen it since release, you won't remember it being this average..
