“The worst episode of the show ... so far.” I drove to the theater to see this and got carded. I’ve never felt more supple.

The first half is fantastic, retaining all the elements of early episodes The Simpsons that make them so captivating with numerous references and jabs towards aspects of American society and genuinely laugh-out-loud moments. However somewhere the magic is suddenly lost and by three-quarters of the way in it prvoides a much more mediocre experience. It's almost like watching a self-parody of the show's decline throughout its numerous televised series. Still, it deserves a good score.

I don't know exactly what people expected when they went to see this. Some people complained that it was "just a long episode of the Simpsons." Well, the episodes always have beginning and ending plot points, so what's the big fuss? Even if that were the case, I thought the film touched on character subjects the series hasn't. You might actually question whether or not Marge is still willing to put up with Homer after all these years, or if Bart really is such a badass.

The Simpsons Movie seems to match my idea of what it was destined to be: a compilation of all of the greatest minds behind the franchise who have been saving all of their good stuff for this film, rather than to have used it at all in the many unremarkable previous seasons of the show. Overall, the movie wasn't the best the Simpsons have offered up, but it did have me laughing hysterically more often than not. Pretty good!

Thanks to Tyler, I've got used to the Simpsons from the TV series so I was ready for the quirky, sometimes-lame, sometimes-intelligent humor. While I didn't think it was an amazing movie, I thought it was entertaining and held lots of good elements, some romance, some suspense, some action--lots of humor of course. I'm not sure that it would appeal to people who weren't already "into" "The Simpsons" but fans should enjoy it.

Pretty good and a lot better than I was expecting, considering how mediocre the latest seasons of The Simpsons have been. It doesn't really tread new ground, except for a couple of gags which obviously couldn't be done on network TV, and plays out like a long Simpsons episode but that's OK. If you're a fan of The Simpsons give this a watch. If you used to be a fan of The Simpsons but gave up on the past few seasons then this is still worth seeing.

I laughed and I'll admit to that. But sometimes it was a hollow laughter, with the feeling that I was watching an attempt to cash in on a once-great institution. Some bits, which stink of Ian Maxtone-Graham, fall flat on their face. And the dramatic moments almost try too hard, maybe to make this feel like more of a movie. It does. But I wish it were a better movie.

It delivers just as advertised: a 90 minute Simpsons episode. Problem is, The Simpsons hasn't been relevant in nearly 10 years. The dependence on pop culture jokes (due to competition with Family Guy, I'd assume) will date this movie very quickly.

Ok, it's not as incisive or side-splittingly hilarious as the series in its prime. But it is very funny and irreverent, with enough subtle touches to keep the hardcore fans happy and enough heart to keep the casual viewer interested. The film is very much focused on the family itself, which I think was a good decision though I wish they had incorporated more of the supporting characters (e.g. Apu, Mr. Burns, etc.)

It's everything you'd expect it to be, nothing more nothing less. It's funny and it keeps it's pace all the way through, which is more than you can say for a lot of comedies these days. Still, beyond that there's not much to make it stand out.

As bad as I feared it would be. I foolishly deluded myself into believing the reason the series has been so god-awful since the turn of the century was that Groening and co. were investing the bulk of their talents into this film. How unfortunate that this was not the case. What was perhaps the best 30-minute show on American television has been bled dry many times over and reduced to a sad caricature of itself, and the Simpsons Movie is a primary example of this.

The fact that it isn't preoccupied with doing things you can't do on television (though one thing it does do is a doozy) is part of why it works so well. It feels no pressure and succeeds swimmingly.

I should start by saying that I loooooooooooove the Simpsons. I even think the new ones are a tad underrated. Having said that, the writers and creators really need to realize that the show's strengths are its developed characters: its Springfield-ians. Too many times I sit down to watch an episode that is written entirely to promote a celebrity voice actor. So, with that foundation in mind, how do you make an underwhelming Simpsons movie? You take the Simpsons out of Springfield.

By the time this movie came out I wasn't as big of a Simpsons fan as when I was a kid. I still thought they did a pretty good job both capturing the spirit of the Simpsons while still making the scope a little more grand and being a little more racy to fit what they could do on the big screen. It's too bad they didn't end the series with this movie, as it has been going on too long anyway and it could have been rewritten as a fitting end.

It's a 90-minute Simpsons episode that they worked hard on writing, producing, and performing to its peak. Plenty of laughs ("I like men now!") and enjoyable references to the show's glory days; even manages to be a little touching in spots. Still, it doesn't have quite the same satirical bite and incredibly memorable music as the South Park film.

Gotta say I'm really in it for the laughs, and although the first part of the movie was as funny as some of the better episodes of the show, they soon begin sacrificing humor for pizzazz. Looks like they really tried to match the expectations of the summer blockbuster audience with lots of cheap thrills which I myself find neither funny nor exciting. And, while the Simpsons writers are witty as hell, they're also endless fountains of corny morals and crowd-pleasing middle-of-the-road politics.

I'm going to start by saying that The Simpsons is not a tv show that I would ever choose to watch, because it's not really my sort of humor; so, it's not surprising that I was just pretty bored in about the first half. However, the jokes started to become more my taste after that point, and I sometimes couldn't help but laugh out loud. That was the point when I started actually enjoying it and was glad I gave it a chance. Wouldn't pick it again, but it wasn't a total waste of time.

I don't understand why they waited so long to make this movie. The plot was nothing more than a drawn-out, glorified Simpsons' episode. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed watching it. I laughed. But, probably not as much as the other idiots in the theatre. And even though I've had his stupid song stuck in my head for weeks, I still do not know the ultimate fate of spiderpig.

As you could suspect this movie dosnt save what the simpsons show has lost the past 5-7 years. Partly fun but never genius and more or less charmless.

This movie isn't the epic one would expect - more of a movie-length Simpsons episode. A really good episode, though. You may recognize a few of the re-used plot types (Marge and Homer's marriage in trouble, the Simpsons going to an exotic locale, etc.), but the movie manages to stay funny throughout.

The Simpsons strike again! An amazingly funny (even by their standards) "long episode", full of sweet little jokes like the Alaskan bar Eski Moe's or Homer's D'ohhhhhhme.

I shouldn't enjoy this as much as I do. At the time of its release the idea of a Simpsons movie was quite the novel idea. Although in execution it could've been far beter I can't help but look at it somewhat fondly. The animation is always fluid and somewhat mentally restorative, doesn't require much thinking...just takes you away with a nice steady flow.

Definitely among the funniest movies I've ever seen. It lacks the wit of the series but none of the comedy.

The result was beautifully paced and uproarious.

While not as consistently on the mark as The Simpsons was in its glory days (the writers are still unfamiliar with the concept of subtle political satire). But the film is still able to achieve moments of brilliance, that make you think that the wait, and the persistent love for the series, was worth it for something like this. Probably the biggest surprise of the year so far.

It seems like "The Simpsons" would be tough to translate to the big screen, but the writers do it well. I had a lot of fun watching "The Simpsons Movie" even though the plot about environmentalism was a bit preachy. The animation was top-notch, and with a PG-13 rating the writers were able to do a few risque things not allowed on television. It was fun, it was hilarious, and it's a movie I would definitely recommend if you're a Simpsons fan like I am.
