Funny but nothing special

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2008)

Yep...it was funny, no doubt about it...however there was really nothing else to be honest. For years people had debated about this film...Will they do something new? or will they just regurgitate a longer version of the TV series. The answer is very much the latter although of course the plot was a lot more ambitious than the typical TV episode.
Pretty much this means that it was nothing special as entertainment and really will be remembered for the ridiculous amount of money this film has grossed however that does not mean it was a bad film. It was funny and sometimes even witty and definitely an improvement on the latest incarnations on TV...although some of it was just random...
All in all the Simpsons movie delivered for the masses what they probably were expecting, a funny, often hilarious 75 minute TV episode, which unfortunately branched out little from the 20 minute showings so many of us have come to love...
