Great fun

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2010)

I agree with many other reviewers that The Simpsons Movie did fail to match the high standards of the early years of the series. However this film is still very funny and has a decent story and a lot of heart as well.
Many of the jokes are as good as anything we saw in the early years of the show and come at such a fast rate you have to watch the film again to catch them all.
Although there isn't much time given to the supporting characters the main focus was always going to be the family. I would like to see a sequel based around Sideshow Bob though.
Overall a great film that despite not meeting some fans high standards is much much funnier than some of the tripe that gets passed off as comedy.
