Utterly Hilarious

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2007)

I went into this film with the same skepticism as everyone else. Don't get me wrong, I love the Simpsons, but the show, as like any other would, has lost some steam throughout it's many years. So, obviously I as many others were wondering how would they pull of a feature film. Now, all I can say is WoW! This movie comes at you like a freight train. Yes, we did have a good fan crowd which always helps, but I did not see this one coming. I thought it would have random funny parts, but this was just wall to wall hilarity. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. It's easily up there with knocked up as the funniest film this year, although it is two totally different kinds of humor.
The plot goes as this; Springfield's lake is being polluted by it's citizens and Lisa finally gets the message to the town so they clean it up. Unfortunately, Homer steps in and screws everything up, so Springfield is locked in a dome by the environmental protection agency. The townspeople come after Homer, The Simpsons escape, town gets threatened to be destroyed, simpsons return to save the day.
I'm not going to throw in the spoilers. This movie is utterly hilarious and only slightly lets up in the third act, which is saying a lot for comedies these days. The jokes fly fast that you find yourself laughing through most of the dialogue, and they are up to date and genuinely funny.
I didn't expect this movie to be this good and put it on my top ten for the year. Please see this, I don't see how you could be disappointed. Thanks to all involved for making this one of the best times I've had at the movies in quite a while.
