A mediocre film that can't be compared to the series

Rating: 4/10 (6 August 2010)

It was ridiculous to ask for a Simpsons' movie, when we could've enjoyed the series for free. However, producers convinced us of the "need" of a movie. With too much expectations the movie was produced and then released, but the result is extremely poor.
Since the 2000's the show had already changed its ironic and sarcastic humor to something more likely to a typical American sitcom, lowing its quality and sacrificing its intelligence. Somehow, this was a total sell- out. So, its creator decided to continue with this pathetic humor, since it cost lower and reported greater benefits for him.
So, the movie is mediocre just as the last season of the Simpsons have been. The plot, though it has some modern references (like the inclusion of a popular band at the time, like Greenday) fails to be funny when it sacrifices its intelligent humor and decides to be some sort of romantic comedy/road-pop movie. Yes, you'll see "the guy" (Homer) doing everything wrong, disappointing his family, but then having the opportunity for a redemption... sounds familiar, right? It's the classical romantic comedy, but in the Simpsons the failure is major because the plot is just ridiculous: some sort of Apocalypse is approaching to Springfield, and the fault is Homer's.
Is so terrible that such a great series at its beginnings has lost during the years so much of its quality, hitting a new low with the movie. And, just for you to know, the series has gotten even worse after the movie. Please, just keep in your memory the first ten seasons of the Simpsons. The rest is just a waste of your time.
