Where was Homer when the lights went out?

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2007)

In the dark, of course ! DOH !
This movie didn't suck. It was a little longer version of the T.V. show with a little more refined cartooning, a little more risqué dialog, a little more Maggie, and a little glimpse of Bart's little yellow wiener. If anything, there was a little TOO much Simpsons and really not enough supporting characters. I wanted more Burns, Ned, Wiggam, Moe, Apu, Crabapple, Skinner, etc., etc.. It was kind of like having chili made with meat, beans and tomato but no chili powder or spices. Kind of tasty but not enough depth to it. It could have been made longer with other, supporting plot lines involving some of the other characters that we've all come to know and love. "The Simpsons" has been around for a long, long time and has become an icon in American culture. Futurama, Beavis and Butthead, Southpark, King of the Hill, et al......where would any of those shows be had it not been for "The Simpsons"? In short, this effort fell somewhat flat. It really shouldn't have though, given the amount of time that it had been so eagerly anticipated.
Rent it on DVD.
