THE SIMPSON'S MOVIE

A momentous and hilarious achievement.

The Simpsons Movie is epic. After nearly 20 years of ideas, plotlines, and humor this beloved show hits the big screen with both originality and dignity. The story line is exciting from start to finish. Each of the characters seems to exude their personality with perfection. It seems like a movie made from a TV show would be just like one long episode, but this is not the case. The filmmakers were careful to make subtle changes that made the film come across in a more cinematic way. Besides the obvious humor, these changes made the film worthwhile.

The Simpson’s Movie is right on par with the episodes that everyone used to love. The characters are at their funniest throughout the movie. Just crude enough to be edgy and just smart enough for everyone to enjoy. The plotline may be somewhat over the top, but what do you expect from The Simpson’s. The filmmakers did a great job of making it feel familiar. They chose to edit things differently though, and I really enjoyed this. Doing epic pans through massive crowds and tight close-ups. It was just right to set it apart from the series while staying true to the its roots.

The film is laugh-out-loud funny. If you have ever enjoyed an episode of the TV show you will enjoy the movie. Great characters at the top of their game keep the film exciting. The Simpson’s Movie was a long time coming and it lives up to any expectations.
