This came out about seven years too late.

Rating: 4/10 (7 February 2010)

The Simpsons was a great sitcom that held its own for almost a decade. This show put the fledgling Fox network on the map. It was a symbol of the 90s. That time came to close in about 2000. The show started to become a shell of what it once was. Now imagine that shell hanging on for another seven years. That is what the movie is. When you have a show on for 18 years and then make a movie out of it, there is not much available for a plot in the movie. I agree with what many other reviewers have said, it is a recent season episode that was dragged out for an hour and a half. There was little real development and not much of an emphasis on secondary characters. To top it all off, Dr. Nick Riviera dies in this movie!
