eight out of ten - homer's impossible mission

Rating: 5/10 (25 July 2007)

Being a big fan of the show, I was highly anticipating this movie. And considering the fact that the humour in the last couple of seasons has dried up, I was hopeful that this movie would not disappoint, since it's been years in the making!
The Simpsons Movie was pretty good in my opinion, and even if you may have seen all 400 episodes of the Simpsons shows, this movie will still keep you entertained. The first half of the movie carries most of the funny scenes, whereas the second half is concentrated on Homer and his impossible mission. There were also a couple of lewd scenes which makes people wonder about its PG rating. It didn't bother me though...
I give this movie a rating of 8 because I find the story line good and original, with few repeated jokes from the series. Having created the longest running TV sitcom, Matt Groening and Co. have done a good job in creating this long awaited movie. You must also respect the fact that they have not produced a lame movie with lots of reused jokes, despite creating 18 seasons prior to this. A definite must see for any Simpsons fan. Let's hope Matt Groening's Futurama movie will be as good, or even better!!
