The Simpsons Movie Review: PG 13

America's favourite dysfunctional family make their silver screen debut in the Simpsons Movie.
This family has been entertaining audiences all over the world for almost 2 decades.

"Why pay for something you can see on TV for free?" Homer asks us.
I have one simple answer to that question. Because the Simpsons make me roll on the floor laughing.

In the start, Homer’s dreams of glory are kinda smashed as he helps his new pig to walk upside down on the ceiling while singing “Spiderpig, Spiderpig” to the Spider-Man theme song.

The pig and Homer screw up Springfield so bad that the place is covered with a dome and all the people of Springfield are after the Simpsons.

The middle of the movie is based in Alaska, where much of the stupid whacky humour is missing as many of the Springfield characters aren't there.
While trying to find his family who escaped and left him alone in Alaska, he falls under the influence of a Native American woman he calls “Boob Lady” and undergoes an uncharacteristic mind change that puts him into action to save Springfield.

The first 30 minutes of the movie are amazing, as whacky as the cartoon series. Like when Homer says" I've come to like you guys" we can't do anything but agree.

But later, the humour gets less and it gets a bit emotional. This movie shows a little of the Simpsons emotional side.

The movie boasts the same sly cultural references and political gimmicks. The President is Arnold Schwarzenegger but his voice is done by someone else.

Green Day and Tom Hanks also make an appearance in this movie.

The film had it's moments, good ones and bad ones.

The characters are very nicely drawn and have a lot of color.

There are some hilarious one liners too.

I felt that they should have brought something new into this film... But anyway, this stuff works too.

Verdict: The best film of the summer in my opinion!

I'll give it a 9/10.

One of the best comedies to hit the screens in a long time.
