"As one of the few human beings in America who does not regularly watch The Simpsons, I was looking forward to seeing the movie, but I was not a fan boy drooling at the opportunity to see my favorite characters on the screen. I have seen maybe 10-15 episodes of the series over my 23 years and liked it, but didn't watch the show on a regular basis. Although I have now idea how the show's hardcore fans will react to it, but I was underwhelmed. Yes, the movie is funny, but it's not hilarious, and kept thinking that there's nothing here you couldn't see on TV. Usually, movie adaptations of TV shows try to offer something bigger or more daring than could be done on television. As far as I could tell, there is not much here aside from the widescreen aspect ratio that differs the movie from the show. In some cases, this makes it worse, as the bare-bones animation looks a little cheap on a big screen. I doubt that anyone is going to go to see a Simpsons movie fo ... " [More]

"If you like the Simpson TV Show, then you will probably like the movie. I have read many of the other reviews and agree with most. It did seem like an extended version of the television show. Would I watch it again? You bet! Looking for a "fun" movie for the weekend, this would be one... " [More]

"The Simpsons movie was to me just like a longer episode of the Simpsons; it has some underlining cultural message, it has some funny parts, and it had a decent ending. If you really like the Simpsons you will probable really like this movie. So in the end the movie was ok, and if you like the show you will probable like the movie. " [More]

"I wasn't quite sure what to expect, the trailers of course were hilarious, but could they keep it up for 90 minutes? I needn't have worried, it is fantastic with one joke chasing the next, they aren't afraid to stab fun at themselves either "Why should we pay for something, that we can watch free on TV?". I don't want to reveal any more details here. So, if you like The Simpsons on TV you just have to go and see them on the big screen! " [More]

"If you are a big Simpsons fan I highly recommend this movie. It has lots of laughs. Basically you are going to see an hour and a half episode that pokes fun and the show and pop culture, as usual. Definitely a good choice for a movie night with friends. " [More]

"I had pretty low expectations of The Simpsons Movie, but it was actually a lot of fun. It reminded me of how the series used to make me laugh 4-5 seasons ago. Now I don't even bother to tune in. I might look in on it again if the movie is any indication of the current quality. A good bunch of laughs, but best watched in a group. " [More]

"The big movie/little movie dichotomy at extremes. Kevin calls in the biggest Simpsons fan he knows–his big brother–to talk about The Simpsons movie. We interview Ronald Bronstein about his movie, Frownland, a super low budget movie that completely polarizes audiences wherever it has the fortune to be screened.

"The WGA has refused to grant waivers to allow guild members to script the Golden Globe and Academy Awards during the strike. Unless the strike miraculously ends by the end of January–or the producers of the shows manage to negotiate with the WGA as independent contractors–this will effectively make any star who attends either award show a picket-line crossing rat. The guild has also denied the Academy the right to use clips involving the work of their writers during the telecast. United Artists has pushed the release of Valkyrie, the controversial WWII drama directed by Bryan Singer and starring Tom Cruise, from July 4th weekend to October 2008. Such a move from a normal studio might indicate plans to push the film as an awards contender rather than as a summer blockbuster; in this case, it appears that Singer just hasn’t finished shooting. Fox is “Simpsonizing” Manhattan today, as part of a marketing blitz to promote the DVD release of The Simpsons Movie. There will be a Simpsons ... " [More]
