Wooooo--Hoooooo ! I loved it !!!

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2007)

This is one of the funniest laugh out loud movies I've seen in a long long time.And I was relieved that my much beloved TV show didn't produce a bomb at the box office.I have watched The Simpsons since the beginning and I was afraid this movie would bomb and kill the series.Far from it.
In the movie Homer is up to his usual shortcuts and laziness and after he pollutes the Springfield Lake so bad that the EPA takes over the town The Simpsons become fugitives running from the irate townspeople and the government.
If you've watched and loved the TV show you will love this movie.There is nothing much different in the movie than the TV show ,other than vulgarities and nudity and obscene gestures,but other than that it is pretty much the same.That's right this movie has nudity.Take that Jerry Falwell.
Now I've seen some reviewers say this movie is like the later day Simpsons show,good but not as great as the early years but I'm not sure I agree with that.It's true that The Simpsons TV show has declined a bit in the last 5 seasons but it is still the funniest thing on TV.This movie was better,I felt,than many recent episodes of the show.So my opinion is that this movie is indeed a closer relative to The Simpson's glory days than the current crop of shows.
But anyway the movie is laugh out loud funny and I'm not that easy to make laugh out loud.If you like the TV show you'll like this movie and if you're one of the 3 people never to have seen the TV show I'll bet you too will like this movie.
I'm ready to see the movie again and will want to buy a copy for the DVD bonuses and all the hidden stuff in the movie I missed at the theater.
Here's to Matt Groening and all the Simpsons cast members-----thanks for a great movie and a great TV show and may Homer continue to f*** up for many years to come.And since you guys made a crap-load of money off the movie I'm sure we'll see a Part 2 very shortly.Woooo-Hoooo.
