The Simpsons Movie: A Review

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2007)

After many, many years of the show being on television, the big screen was finally ready to embrace a yarn about The Simpsons. I've been a longtime fan since the show began, and waited for the day to come, patiently. I stuck with the show year after year, even when fan boys started to complain about later episodes. The show was as entertaining as ever, as far as I was concerned. I had good feelings about the movie when I heard about it, and I was completely satisfied with the result. "The Simpsons Movie" is surely as funny and as entertaining as I knew it would be.
What I liked:
There were no major changes or departures from the show, with the minor exception of some crude humor that wouldn't have flown on Fox, which didn't bother me. I enjoyed hearing the laughter of the audience as the jokes flew by.
What I didn't like: It's unfair to say I didn't dislike anything about the movie, but I really had no problems. Most of the crap came from people online who had nothing but negative things to say about the film, and surely enough, if you weren't a fan of the show, you sure weren't going to change your mind now. But leave the rest of us who enjoy it alone.
So basically: An excellent big screen adaptation, funny and enjoyable. I also appreciated the comment some made that it was pretty much an hour and a half episode. Nothing wrong with that!
