It could have worked better as a two parter TV episode.

Rating: 6/10 (25 December 2007)

A movie about the yellow Simpsons family was in the making for a while. There was rumors about it from the late 90's and finally it did see the light in 2007. So, how did it turn out? Even though this is called "The Simpsons Movie"it actually could have worked better as a two separate episodes in the show instead, as in the state it is now presented it has far too much empty spaces in it just to drag it in the feature movie length.
There actually is very little difference in the story structure of the movie and the most resent "The Simpsons" episodes, as the structure usually has Homer doing something stupid, the family resenting his actions and the deus ex something, which saves the day in some extent.
I'm not slamming the movie though, it's not a bad film, as I did laugh and chuckle, but in the end it just doesn't work that well as a movie. But because it did made a mint of money, there's no doubt, that there wouldn't be an another attempt in the future, so here's for hoping they do a better job with it.
