REVIEWS FOR THE SIMPSONS MOVIE
Scarcely exploring the liberties of cinema the way the South Park movie did, The Simpsons Movie still showcases deeper and truer colors
Aug 27, 2009
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.
Apr 23, 2009
the writing of the episodes are so brilliant that the big-screen version simply lives up to the show's name
Aug 17, 2008
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.
Jul 31, 2008
Hysterically funny, genuinely cinematic -- and you get to see Bart's doodle, too.
May 20, 2008
'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.
Apr 10, 2008
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.
Mar 3, 2008
Hardly calls for the emphasis of a feature presentation except that it's a powerful form of market engineering.
Jan 23, 2008
You'll be laughing the whole way through to the style of gags and set-ups the series is famous for.
Jan 15, 2008
One of the year's funniest theatrical releases, [but] it's also tough to shake a feeling of mild disappointment.
Jan 8, 2008
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.
Dec 29, 2007
If you love the show...you'll love the movie.
Oct 31, 2007
The big screen version of the legendary TV series is a fitting tribute and is worth the wait.
Oct 22, 2007
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?
Sep 21, 2007
As a full-length cartoon, "The Simpsons Movie" is drawn out - but in a good way.
Sep 13, 2007
Gives us the most evil EPA agent in movies since William Atherton unleashed the minions of Zool on New York City.
Sep 3, 2007
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.
Aug 29, 2007
The movie does at least broaden the canvas the story is played out on, but fans expecting to see many of the series' usual haunts -- school, Moe's Tavern, the nuclear plant -- will be disappointed to find that they are merely glimpsed here. For all its sh
Aug 22, 2007
Let's be honest, though: there's no way a Simpsons Movie was going to be perfect. But is this the best possible Simpsons Movie that we could have hoped for? The answer is a resounding "Woo hoo!"
