Consensus: The Simpsons Movie contains the hearty laughs, biting satire, and honest portrayal of an American family that makes the show so popular. And it boasts slicker animation and polished writing that hearkens back to the show's glory days.

Scarcely exploring the liberties of cinema the way the South Park movie did, The Simpsons Movie still showcases deeper and truer colors

It could be I’m missing a lot of the inside humor and subtext. But I think the movie, too, is missing a lot of subtext.

From its very first frame the movie is through and through The Simpsons and its creators have taken the time and care to make this worth a trip to the theater rather than waiting for another syndicated rerun to come on.

Hysterically funny, genuinely cinematic -- and you get to see Bart's doodle, too.

'The Simpsons Movie' only sporadically harnesses the boundless creative energy and satirical edge that earned Groening's series its reputation as one of the most sophisticated comedies in TV history. For fans, however, it is a gift long overdue.

We barely get a line from Mr. Burns, Moe, Lou and the rest of the bunch, but following Homer J. Simpson is not a bad way to spend an hour and a half of your summer.

Hardly calls for the emphasis of a feature presentation except that it's a powerful form of market engineering.

You'll be laughing the whole way through to the style of gags and set-ups the series is famous for.

One of the year's funniest theatrical releases, [but] it's also tough to shake a feeling of mild disappointment.

Thankfully, the cinematic adaptation bears a strong resemblance to the great early Simpsons episodes, with a consistent script, nonstop jokes, and lots & lots of Homer.

The big screen version of the legendary TV series is a fitting tribute and is worth the wait.

If you combine all important elements into one 87-minute 'PG-13' film, will you have what Comic Book Guy would call the ... Best. Episode. Ever?

As a full-length cartoon, "The Simpsons Movie" is drawn out - but in a good way.

Doh! What a colossal disappointment. The Simpsons Movie has its funny bits but so does the average Marge-centric episode. But this is a highly anticipated 90-minute episode for which audiences have to pay.
