Pretty funny film

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2007)

Now I'm not a die hard Simpsons fan and I probably wouldn't have gone to see it if I hadn't been taking my children, but I'm so glad I went as I haven't laughed that much at a movie in years. To be completely honest whenever I'd seen TV episodes I hadn't liked a lot of the supporting characters (whats that Krusty the Clown all about!) so the fact that the movie largely concentrated on the Simpson family itself was a bonus for me. Anyway both my children loved it too and I would have given it 10 but for the scene of Bart getting drunk, which I thought was unnecessary and not something I particularly wanted my kids to see.
The animation was excellent as well and I loved the way they poked fun at Disney in the log cabin scene. I can understand that long standing fans of the TV series might not be as amused by it as my family and I were, although having said that my wife didn't get a lot of the jokes, but the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed it and will look forward to more of the same should there be a sequel.
