This was much better than I expected it to be!

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2007)

I have always loved The Simpsons, but lately, with a few episodes exception, they seem to have run out of ideas and reused some old ones to make episodes that were, while decent, not up to my usual Simpsons standards. But this movie was really good. The plot line was great (Homer screws things up and must save the day; Marge and Homer's marriage gets rocky; Lisa gets a crush; some used-before plot-lines with a new twist!) The creators are also starting to get preachy (big environmental message.) The jokes are very funny, and it has lots of those little Simpsons-style hilarious subtleties that we all know and love. It is hard to explain without giving lots of things away, but if you liked The Simpsons show when it was at its best or near, then you will like this movie!
