Thank God It Didn't Suck

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2007)

I, like many, have loved The Simpsons for as long as I can remember. One of my first toys was a Bart stuffed doll. I have always had a special connection with the television series and when I found out they were making a movie, I had mixed feelings. On one hand, this could be hilarious and could turn out to be a great movie to go to just to have a good laugh. On the other hand, however, this could easily be a mistake of a movie that could destroy the series as a whole. Luckily, with the odds against them, they managed to turn this into a great movie that lived up to my expectations and made me laugh for a couple hours.
This movie had a lot going against it. Turning a TV series into a movie usually ends with disaster, even if the TV series is one as popular as The Simpsons. People expected it to be bad. Unfortunately, as much as I love the series, I expected this to be a pretty bad movie. The only shred of hope I had was the preview that included "Spider-Pig." However, when it all came down to opening night, I figured that The Simpsons had entertained me for free for a countless number of years, that the least I could do was to contribute to its box office success.
As I sat in the theater, I found myself constantly laughing and finding the movie to be very enjoyable. When it comes down to it, this is what makes a movie good. If a movie keeps you enjoyed for the time you spend in the theater and you spend the whole time laughing and really into the story, it deserves a good review. So what if The Simpsons has changed from the first few seasons. They are still funny, original, and America's #1 family. Thats why "The Simpson's Movie" gets a 9 out of 10.
