Good jokes in Simpsons movie but can't match up to the earlier episodes

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2009)

This film version of the long running TV series 'The Simpsons' can't match up to the earlier classic episodes, but is funnier than anything in the last five years or so. The focus is on slapstick humor and gags. Satire generally takes a back seat. The voice work is good as usual. Sadly, many of the supporting characters like Apu and Monty Burns have very few lines. The plot manages to sustain itself over nearly ninety minutes and there are no dull patches. The film takes potshots at the government as well as environment activists. My favorite bit- Ahnold as the President!
Overall 7/10
