Quirky, Overrated, But Mainly For Kids

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2007)

I watched the preview to this back in July '07, and wasn't really expecting any high hopes for this film, for I had only just watched "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" the other day which is just a humorous string of episodes back to back.
The whole promotion, was over-hyped, but I only wanted to see this film for 2 things.
1) To at least be in the know for something at school after the summer holidays.
2) To see what the whole over-hyped, over-rated promotion of this film is about.
Now, I sat through, this and most of the visual gags are for children and are quite funny. A few witty adult quotes, were what caught my eye. I really hoped this was going to be a BBFC Certificate "12" as apposed to a "PG", because I thought with films etc. like Family Guy you can just about get away with nearly everything.
But it feels like the whole tone of everything has gone 2 steps back, seeing how the Seasons are now upped to BBFC Certificate 12s as well.
But still, this is mainly a film for the youth, a few quirks will keep the parents from being bored. A must see for an avid, devoted Simpsons Fan, which in my case, is not me.
Overall: 7/10
