Editorial Review:
The Simpsons had already ruled TV land for many years by the time they finally attempted to conquer the movie world as well. It was never any big secret that a Simpsons movie was in the works: Fox registered the domain name "Simpsonsmovie.com" in 1997, a full nine years before the film was finally greenlighted. When creator/producer Matt Groening's creation finally made it to the big screen in 2007, it only turned out to be the biggest hit of the summer, raking in over $100 million gross in box-office receipts in its first week, before heading on to do over $500 million worldwide, proving that the best joke in the movie was actually played on the audience: "Why pay for something when you can see it for free?" asks Homer at the movie's start. Naturally, all the trouble starts with him. When he adopts a pig ("Sir Oinks-A-Lot") destined for Krusty's slaughterhouse, it triggers an environmental catastrophe, forcing the government to seal Springfield into a dome and destroy the city. While the family manages to escape and flee to Alaska, they eventually decide to return and help save the city in more-or-less classic Simpson fashion. As Homer's joke about the audience shows, Groening and producer Al Jean are keenly aware that their franchise is first and foremost a TV show. Maybe a little too aware, as the movie fails to ever rise above anything more than an extended episode, and not even one of its best episodes at that. True, there are plenty of good jokes; the animation has been kicked up a notch to be particularly sharp and detailed; and there are some truly memorable moments such as Bart's nude skateboard ride and the "Spider-Pig" song. But when the film finally materialized, the payoff for long years of anticipation turned out to be small as the movie failed to live up to its potential; it's amusing but not truly funny. The Simpsons Movie leaves the impression that maybe the show's writers and producers had already spent their best ideas on the best years of the TV show. Had it been made years earlier… well, we can only wonder what could have been. --Daniel Vancini

Average Rating: 
Rating: - 90-minute Simpsons episode
What to say, what to say... Basically, it's a 90-minute Simpsons episode. And it's done exactly the way a movie of a TV show should be done: take everything that's good about the show and make it more. There's no attempt to change it into something it's not, and no additions to try to grab a new audience. It stays true to its TV roots and audience.
The Simpsons Movie is just plain fun. And basically, if you like the show, you'll like the movie. If you don't, you won't.
Rating:  - Wonderful movie!
This is a very enjoyable and funny movie. It is just like one of the good Simpsons episode, with continuous hilarity! A must buy for Simpsons fans!
Rating: - True to the series
Not exactly Sophie's Choice, but if you're looking for that, you're obviously in the wrong place. My family are all die-hard Simpsons fans. The movie was true to the spirit of the series. Lots of gags, both straightforward and inside jokes related to the series. If you like the Simpsons, you'll enjoy this. If you're lukewarm to the Simpsons series, you might want to skip this.
Rating: - I'll teach you to laugh at things that are funny!
Comparable to a good episode of the TV show, with the added benefit of Spider-Pig.
Recommended for watchers of the TV show, a skip to anyone who's not. This won't convert the non-fans, but it's a fun ride for those who are even casual fans of the Simpsons.
Rating: - The Simpsons Movie
Im a HUGE Simpsons fan, since the first episodes, seasons 4-11 were the best .
The movie is surprisingly good, i laughed a lot in the theather and every time i watch the dvd i laugh again, just like i do in the re-runs. I thought it would be a looong episode, but it turned out better.
The DVD is cool, i loved the menus, the video quality is great. The only thing i dont like is the American Idol extras, im tired of those...
And theres no Making of Documentary... ... Read More
