Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2009)

We all know that 'The Simpsons' is a very successful TV show and it's been around for quite a while (since 1989 I think, presumably) And after over 400 episodes, what are the makers of the show going to do next? They make a Simpsons Movie! I would say I like The Simpsons. I've seen a couple of episodes and thought they were really funny and entertaining. But what about the movie? Well, for starters, it's obviously had that fun factor. This presumably is a lead up to the jokes/gags which is what makes the fun. They're were some really funny gags in this like Bart's nude skateboard to the Krusty Burger. That was classic. However, in some, I felt that the film makers just wanted to make it really funny, that they ended up not delivering. All in all the entertainment was good. Another thing that leaps into mind is the action and adventure. You wouldn't find that in a normal Simpsons episode but to see it in this movie, is great! It got quite exciting in some parts, particularly at the end, where Homer tries to save Springfield. Also, I loved the fact that Homer and his family run away to Alaska because they're not wanted in Springfield. The characters were as funny as usual, but the most funniest one was that Spiderpig (aka Harry Plopper!) I actually found the Spiderpig song to be really funny.
Overall, I would say The Simpsons Movie is what we all could have hoped for. It certainly had the fun Homer factor! It may not be really good, but hey, you wanted entertainment - you got entertainment!
