The Simpsons had already ruled TV land for many years by the time they finally attempted to conquer the movie world as well. It was never any big secret that a Simpsons movie was in the works: Fox registered the domain name "Simpsonsmovie.com" in 1997, a full nine years before the film was finally greenlighted. When creator/producer Matt Groening's creation finally made it to the big screen in 2007, it only turned out to be the biggest hit of the summer, raking in over $100 million gross in box-office receipts in its first week, before heading on to do over $500 million worldwide, proving that the best joke in the movie was actually played on the audience: "Why pay for something when you can see it for free?" asks Homer at the movie's start. Naturally, all the trouble starts with him. When he adopts a pig ("Sir Oinks-A-Lot") destined for Krusty's slaughterhouse, it triggers an environmental catastrophe, forcing the government to seal Springfield into a dome and destroy the city. While the family manages to escape and flee to Alaska, they eventually decide to return and help save the city in more-or-less classic Simpson fashion. As Homer's joke about the audience shows, Groening and producer Al Jean are keenly aware that their franchise is first and foremost a TV show. Maybe a little too aware, as the movie fails to ever rise above anything more than an extended episode, and not even one of its best episodes at that. True, there are plenty of good jokes; the animation has been kicked up a notch to be particularly sharp and detailed; and there are some truly memorable moments such as Bart's nude skateboard ride and the "Spider-Pig" song. But when the film finally materialized, the payoff for long years of anticipation turned out to be small as the movie failed to live up to its potential; it's amusing but not truly funny. The Simpsons Movie leaves the impression that maybe the show's writers and producers had already spent their best ideas on the best years of the TV show. Had it been made years earlier… well, we can only wonder what could have been. --Daniel Vancini Get to Know The Simpsons

When will it end?? June 22, 2009
Kyle Leader (Washington U.S.A)
i am a huge fan of the simpsons i grew up with it, so i could not be more excited when i found out that there was going to be a simpsons movie. so i saw the movie and bought the dvd and heres what i thought: overall pretty good it had some good moments and jokes one of my favorite being when homer asks the audiance why there paying to see something they could see for free on TV.anathor favorite of mine was when mr burns tells smithers that he has never considered suicide then says to smithers that if he wants to give it a try it might cheer him up. then there spider pig funny at first but god it got annoying after people kept singing the song all the time. sadly the movie is pretty low on witty humor that makes the simpsons such a good show. almost all of the humor is based on homer getting hurt thats funny in small doses but here it a complete overload. i thought and hoped that this would be the series finale but no the simpsons kept going and now the show is an insult to the early years. the simpsons have a contract so they will do at least 23 seasons or 500 episodes. if the simpsons does end i will be sad to see it go its the end of an era. and the question is what will fox replace it with?(probably anathor family guy spin off, the Quagmire show) so anyway back to the movie old simpson fans will probably not like it because the movie is aimed at non fans but the movie still has its funny moments.

The Simpsons movie May 5, 2009

What can I say! It's the Simpsons. I think having a movie after the many years was good. I think people did not like the move (some, I should say didn't) True Simpsons fans...enjoy! Lots of fun and turmoil and action and of course...Homer J Simpson and his bungling. Okay for the kids, except for a swear word or two, so cover their ears for a moment or two. Lots of fun and laughs. I bought it and am glad to add it to my collection!

I watched the Simpsons faithfully from 1990-2005. I was fully aware of the decline of the show but the movie was just so awful that I read a book to keep me entertained until it ended (I was determined to make it to the end). Bart's nude skateboard ride was completely out of place and utterly unnecessary. The humor was not the usual humor of the Simpsons--part of the reason that I love the series is the numerous old historical jokes about Grover Cleveland or old film strips--it was more similar to later episodes of South Park: feces and a subtle political undertone. There has been so little toilet humor in the Simpsons that I wonder why the writers thought it would be entertaining now. Many episodes used to have wonderful parodies of older films (Citizen Kane, A Clockwork Orange, The Godfather) or were genuinely touching. None of that occurred here.
Normally, I have something redeeming to say about most movies or books, but for this I have none.
The series needs to end before it gets worse. An episode I saw a few weeks back had Homer fantasizing about Marge making out with Lindsey Nagele. Patty has become a lesbian. Mr. Burns is no longer the ruthless villain he once was. Smithers no longer has a cloak of ambiguity. Lisa rarely acts like a little girl any longer. "Gill" is a poor substitute for Phil Hartman's Lionel Hutz (OK, Hartman was killed, but something else could have been done). Save the Simpsons from the final indignity of becoming a bad, redundant show. Euthanize it. Get some of the original writers back for a short season and end it.
