Before Watching: The Simpsons Movie (2007)

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2019)

"The Simpsons Movie" (2007) is an animated movie based on the loved cartoons under the same name. The movie is pretty good, but if you want to get as much out of it as possible, there are a few things you need to keep in mind before watching:
This movie is obviously very humorous but features different kinds of humor - all from slapstick to sarcasm which fills up the wide range of comedy quite well. A lot of the humor is however irreverent, so if crude jokes bothers you, there will be a few cringey moments.
The Simpsons Movie is also serious at times. Despite being a comedy, it delivers some impactful moments that transcends its normal, witty approach. Those moments should be reflected upon and taken seriously, because there are some interesting things to learn. Homer's epiphany, for example, is surprisingly profound.
At last, there are some plot elements which does quite make sense. Honestly though, this is a wacky 90-minute cartoon. Take it seriously at times, but not too seriously.
My personal grade: a fresh and surprisingly sober 7/10. If you found this helpful, check my profile for more reviews.
