So funny it hurts...... Literally

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2007)

I was very much in two minds about this movie before seeing it. I mean, you can't unsee something once it's been seen. But, for the second time in as many trips to the cinema, I was completely blown away by how far this film exceeded my expectations (The first instance was for Transformers, but that's another story). I have never laughed so hard and so much at a single film before. To the point where my face and sides were sore before even the half way point. I was not the only one, it was pretty much unanimous hilarity for the entire cinema. The animation is superb, the dialogue is as we've come to expect from the Simpsons' brains trust, and there are some extra little thrills and spills that you can tell they've been dying to lay upon us for quite some time. Personally, I felt that they pretty much nailed the ideal length for the movie. But it sets such a cracking pace that they probably could've push it out to 2 hours. All in all, this was an extremely enjoyable and rewarding trip to the cinema, and one that I will no doubt be making again and again 10/10
