Meh!
That pretty much sums up my review of The Simpsons Movie. It wasn't bad, per se, but for a big screen movie I felt it was missing something new to be discovered about the town of Springfield or one of it's characters. If this was an 87 minute epsisode airing on Fox, then sure, I would think it was a pretty good episode.
In the movie, catastrophe-prone Homer, polluts Lake Springfield after a strong attempt by the town to clean up their act. This leads to some political action that has major consequences for everyone who lives there. And yes, a pig is involved.
The movie has a steady flow of laughs (especially Bart's skateboarding sequence), a great three-dimensional feel from some of the scenes that used digital tracking shots, and a peppering of famous scenes from cinematic history peppered throughout the script.
If you're a fan of the television show, then, you'll enjoy it. But I would probably save it for one of those discount days at the movie theatre. Like Homer said in the beginning of the film, "What kind of idiot would pay for something we can get for free, on TV?"
I must admit though, the official site for the movie is amazing. Check out my Simpsons avatar!
