A mirror of several latest seasons of TV show

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2007)

A lot of long term TV shows have the same problem. Shows about ordinary family or people that live their simple lives in little cities are very simple and all situations in screen can be recognized from everyday life. Shows such as "South Park" or "The Simpsons" were prime at their first seasons. Plots were simple, characters solved problems in their own towns, with their neighbours and friends.
Unfortunately, later such shows become cardboard and soulless. Stories are fantastic, new and onetime characters appears in every episode and you can feel a boredom, because these shows are trying to report every pulpy sensation witch are sicken because it were in every newspaper and in all news a long time ago.
"The Simpsons Movie" has the same problem. The plot is too complicated and unreal. I don't know what to say more, because it has same problems as the last eight or seasons of TV show. The jokes are not bad, but tired and familiar from the show. The only great and very funny jokes are all about Homer. His cogitations, ideas and world-view are inexhaustible source of killing jokes and phrases. Homer is the funniest guy in the movie, but other characters are imperceptible.
So, in conclusion: the biggest weakness in this film is a cardboard story. The movie is still good, but if creators of show would create the Simpsons movie, let's say, ten years ago, I think, that movie would be at top 250 now.
Sorry about my English.
