TV portion outstanding - Movie portion needs more salt!

Rating: 6/10 (6 January 2018)

The Simpsons TV show that many of of love dearly because it says what we, as humans, would be ostracized for saying publicly, looks its turn at the big screen and starts off where the shows humor roams wildly and successfully. We have short character re-introductions and societal lampooning that strikes the nail on the head repeatedly to the point where there is nowhere else for that proverbial "nail" to go.
Enter the silly plot and Homeri-sms that carry the bulk of the film with spattered success but mostly simply escorting the audience around and through the plot that feels tedious and an undoing of the glorious opening sequenced. The new characters are awkward, sans our Simpsons' President whom has the best lines here, but no spoilers!
The first 25 minutes worth a epic and everything else is a movie length justifying plot that come off as a bit more than could be chewed. either that or my mileage varied considerably from the customer claims!
