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

If you love the Three Stooges right?..., I mean, you are a REAL Three Stooges fan. (Die hard for Curly,,, but equally as happy to watch Shemp...) Would you ever recommend to your friends that they rush out and catch SNOW WHITE MEETS THE THREE STOOGES? I don't think you would. (For fun go to that movie on Amazon and see what kind of reviews that film got, you may just have to punch yourself in the head ) The reason is that Snow White Meets The Three Stooges,,, or any of the other full length Stooge movies, released a dozen years too late, are a mess. Filled with rehashed jokes and uninspired carbon copies of carbon copies of the once brilliant once GREAT Three Stooges.
Now, I will tell you how since the tender age of six I awaited a Simpson movie. In fact, I have a poster that I made myself, sometime around 1990 with some crude intrepreted drawings of Americas first family. Me and millions of fans waited. 18 years... Telling Matt G and co. that they were crazy for not making a movie. They kept saying "no way." Or at best giving us small doses of false hope for their own amusement.. ("The movie will be made when the series ends" they said, knowing full well that the series would never end...)
Now the movie has been made, run, released on DVD and available on cable. I feel like I did the first time I flipped on TNT to see that Snow White and The Three Stooges movie. Sure it was a grand spectacle in full color, but those vibrant reds and greens only gave more light to the fact that The Stooges were long past their prime. (And probably should have just stuck to the old time black and white one reelers.
I think that The Simpsons still deserve to be on TV, (yes they have settled for being just okay, and even being downright dull on occasion,, instead of being earth shatteringly brilliant like their hey day, but they still deliver a great every now and again...) The movie just used up way too much gas for me. Didn't like it and could hardly even pretend. My five year old kid likes it, so I don't mind watching it with him on FX,,, but I feel I'm doing him a disservice in some way. I was bored! Plus Bart as an alcoholic and other certain gags in this thing actually deppressed me a little bit. "D'oh'm." (Thats a combination of the words D'oh and Dumb, I assume) I hope to eventually forget this one completely. Sorry.

I am not a big fan of The Simpsons. It is not that I dislike them, but I just never got into them; although, I have enjoyed the occasional episode. Recently, however, due to circumstances my control, my husband showed THE SIMPSONS MOVIE to our 4 and 1/2 year old daughter...and she LOVED it. At this point, I would say that she has watched it in whole or in part over 25 times. She can quote quite large portions of the script verbatim, and of course, she can sing the Spider Pig song...loudly. So, obviously, I needed to screen THE SIMPSONS MOVIE personally. (Better late than never!)
And, much to my surprise, I found THE SIMPSONS MOVIE to be very fun and quite entertaining; truly much better than I had expected. THE SIMPSONS MOVIE has a fun story, many humorous and memorable moments, and is true to itself - what more could I ask for? There is nothing particularly bad or unsavory in this movie; nothing that will corrupt my four year old. (There are, however, a few things that go over her head: she had to asked her dad what a "doodle" was! Then again, she asked me to define "epiphany" for her. So, I guess you take your vocabulary words where you can get them.) The rest of my family, my husband and my 12 year old daughter, also really enjoys THE SIMPSONS MOVIE.
So, quite surprisingly, I am recommending THE SIMPSONS MOVIE as an entertaining family flick. While not all of their episodes are fit for all ages, this movie works and really tickles our collective funny bone. Well done, Homer. You've still got it after all these years.

The Simpsons movie is witty,fast paced, touching, hugely entertaining and most importantly: laugh out loud funny.And if your a Simpsons fan who's loved every episode , that's all you'll need from it.
However if , like me , your an obsessive fan who's noticed a drop in quality on the show from the late nineties onwards you'll see some problems. You'll see that structure wise the movie is basically an extended episode.You'll notice that the villain is a Hank Scorpio rip off. You'll feel that a lot of the plot points and character drama seem all too familiar.But in spite of all this , in spite of being a film based on a show that exhausted its best gags long ago, the Simpsons movie is still absolutely hilarious and i take my hat off to the creators for managing to make it so.
