Not so good as the series

Rating: 5/10 (14 June 2010)

The Simpsons Movie is suffering from everything excellent that has lasted a very long while, sometimes just there for too long. There is nothing you can reproach to the way the movie is done. This is a super professional work, respectful in the way that it propose to the public a highly polished work. The problem is elsewhere, from an other nature. I have been a fan of The Simpsons since they started in the 90's. I have watched them on TV when I was a teenager then I bought the DVD box sets when they get released lately in the 00's. I pass them very often, this American family being in some way for me, an other family of mine. I have not had the chance to see how the show had become. From what I have read everywhere, this has decreased and it is no longer funny. I only own the DVD up to season 11 and already do not like the eleventh season. Too different in Essence from what I used to love in the Simpsons. Too unrooted. So let's say I am a fan of the ten first seasons. I adore. Adore. Adore them. But not this movie.
Not very funny movie, except for couple jokes which I think they weren't meant to be jokes. There is too much stuff going on that isn't necessary for the plot. And the jokes that are meant to be as jokes, are dry (note: I'm not usually against dry jokes!) and they are trying too hard thus failing at being funny.
The TV series is (was) thousands of times better than this. I can't recommend this movie for anyone - and especially not for Simpsons fans.
