A 2-hour Simpsons episode...and it works!

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2007)

Dubious as I was that the Simpsons could sustain pace and humour for an extended run a theatre, overjoyed I was to see myself proved wrong.
The Simpsons movie starts out irreverent and ends up doing the right thing, all along taking shots at the environmental movement, the EPA and society in general.
Homer is still laughably moronic with a big heart and his family and Springfield suffer the consequences of his gluttony as he dumps a container of pig slop into the nearby lake.
Schwarzenegger as President was classic "I'm a leader, not a reader!" and the film, even in its quiet moments, had good pacing.
Is it Schindler's List or Fight Club or Judgment at Nuremberg? No, of course not.
It's still one of the best films of this year and a top-notch comedy. Pay your money, get your snacks, put your brain into park and go see it.
