A drawn-out episode of the Simpsons

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2007)

I went to the theater with my 12 year old son to see this movie. We both went in rather excited and left underwhelmed.
The movie had a few moments that made both of us laugh, and my son laughed at a few more things than I did, but unfortunately it was not enough to carry this movie for the duration.
The wittiest jokes in the movie are actually part of the introduction. The MGM opening, Bart's writing on the chalkboard, and the part where all the people watching in the theater are called suckers (which looking back, resonates a bit more now).
Whether or not it was intended this way, I think a character with Bart's personality, being punished and made to write that line on the chalkboard, is more of a stab at the MPAA, than a witty anti-piracy message.
All in all, not a bad movie, not a great one either. Definitely better to wait for DVD and watch this where it belongs, on TV.
