Movie Review: The Simpsons Movie

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

According to BestSyndication.com, The Simpsons Movie took in $25 million last week. That’s down from the over $70 million it made the previous week. The Simpsons Movie is a summer blockbuster, folks.

And it’s easy to see why.

I enjoyed this movie, though I will admit that it seemed like a longer version of a regular episode. The characters and settings are drawn extraordinarily well and the movie has the look and feel of a “big time” cartoon production.

Just like South Park’s movie, I imagine that this will be a big DVD seller and that some goodies will be on the DVD. The plot to the movie is fun and simple - the lovable Homer goofs up again, breaks his daughter’s heart, and is forced to find a way to make it all better at the end of the movie.

If the movie is still in a theater near you, I suggest going to watch a matinee (or whatever the low-cost time period is for your local theater). As for the DVD - I think it’ll be a great rental for most and a great purchase of hardcore fans of The Simpsons.

I saw it with my two girls and enjoyed it. It was nice to see Flanders in a more deeply fleshed out role. Usually he is a cardboard version of a Christian and I enjoyed seeing him made into a real caring and deep person.
