Re: The Simpsons Movie
I went down to see the Simpson's Movie today. Even though I never really watched the Simpsons regularly... ever. The movie was pretty funny, although it got a little stale at the end. Some good jokes at the start though :PEating my way through restaurants at http://www.nomnomfoodie.com

Re: The Simpsons Movie
Ditto the previous reviews. I saw it at Koolau on Friday at 12:30 (first screening). Laughed aloud several times in the first half hour. Still laughed, just not as much, in the second half hour. Was pretty much finished laughing by then.
I guess there are a few approaches you can take to a movie-length TV show: You can write it the way you write the TV show, cramming as much as you can into every minute, or you can take advantage of the longer form, and take your time with things. The writers of The Simpsons chose the latter, at least for the second half of the film. It was always interesting, but it wasn't always funny.

Re: The Simpsons Movie
More stuff as a warning to parents taking kids.
Oh. I forgot to mention also that one character smokes weed from a bong, one of the parents swears, and one of the children gets drunk.

Re: The Simpsons Movie
I was just thinking about those things I listed above, elements of the film I thought parents might want to consider before taking their kids. It occurs to me that those are the kinds of things that one expects to be warned about, but something about the PLOT struck me as something worth mentioning to parents with young kids:
When the family has escaped Springfield to Alaska, Marge is unhappy and she thinks Homer has done something morally wrong. She takes her children and she LEAVES HIM. In the world of the Simpsons, it seems like the kind of thing that you'd see threatened all the time, but this time Marge leaves. With the intention of never coming back. While Homer's out. She videotapes a farewell message (recorded over their wedding tape!) and she takes the kids and gets on a train.
There is something devastating about this turn in the plot; it's the kind of thing that isn't supposed to happen in cartoons. At this moment, Marge is devastated and heartbroken, but determined.
Thing about the Simpsons and their dysfunctional cousins the Bundys is that while the world might mock them, they always stuck together. I wonder how I'd handle Marge's leaving if I were a young child.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Re: The Simpsons Movie
Just took the 6 year old daughter unit to the movie. She laughed and laughed and laughed. She cried a little when Marge booked out, and Homer was bummin.
Nothing worse there than a Viagra commercial or an episode of most any sitcom.
When Homer poked his eye with the hammer, oh man, that got the daughter unit cracking up hard.FutureNewsNetwork.com
