Simpsons Fall Short

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2007)

With the Simpsons being on air for so long, and the vast amount of characters that have appeared on the show, I for one expected a film that would be centered around several events and stories. This film managed to drag out about a 25 minute episode for almost an hour and a half. With the combined expertise of Groening and Brooks much more was expected. If one were to take into account the works that Brooks has done this should be considered his worst film that he has been involved in.
I have been a viewer of the Simpsons for a long time now. The characters all have their own flaws that they poke fun at, but the characters do have moments where they are relatable. This movie tried to make the dopiest character relatable, Homer, but it was not by any means in a funny way. The movie just fell short of my expectations, and for many others of that I am sure.
