I might be the only person on this planet who has never seen an edition of 'Friends' or 'The Simpsons' ! The former didn't ever make a movie and the latter - well, it has taken me twenty years to get around to watching it, and I found it all a bit tame. With the townsfolk of 'Springfield' constantly abusing their environment, it falls to 'Lisa' and the other kids to force the mayor to take steps! A grand-scale tidy up ensues and everyone obeys the new dumping ordnances, all except 'Homer' whose need for cheap donuts is greater than his care for the lake. When he deposits his vat of toxic pig manure into the thing, the fish start thinking they belong in 'Pirhana' and President Schwarzenegger orders his EPA to endome the entire town for public safety. When the citizens discover just whom the cause of their newfound misery actually is, well they become akin to an army of vengeful zombies and the 'Simpson' family might well end up with their days numbered. I can't compare this with the television series, and it is always much more difficult to take a tried and tested short-term comedy format and turn it into a full length feature, but what this doesn't really do it make you laugh. It takes some low hanging fruit from the 'Janet and John' basket of politically correct topics and then writes some vaguely humorous jibes that take few risks or push any boundaries of satire, irony or even sarcasm. It's too light-hearted to make much impact and so we are largely left with a scene-stealing pig and some typical family dysfunctionality as I felt it really struggled along for ninety minutes. There are also too few opportunities for the engaging array of supporting characters to get in on the act, and by the conclusion I felt more the recipient of some well-meant school philosophising than some hard and gritty comedy. It is watchable enough, and there are a few one-liners that do raise a smile, but my first visit to 'Simpson'-land left me wondering what much of the fuss was about.

**This really is terrible** My buddy and i watched this movie. I'm not a fan of the Simpsons, and i have only watched about 6-7 full shows. But if anything is for sure, this movie is utterly terrible. It's sexist, profane, foolish, and a downright waste of time. One part that stuck out, aside from the cartoon pee-pee, was a TV channel scroll advertisement, which popped up on the bottom of the screen, that made it quite clear of how they advertise in movies now. I assume it was made to get someone laughing, and if someone was laughing at that, it's kind of a shame. Because i imagine that's what the higher ups in the American ideal were trying to do, as they try to drop the blindfold of their deluded ways over the American people. If anyone argues.. someone could say "Well that's normal!" or "but they were just stating the truth!" or some other deluded line except for, "This means we're in trouble!".. Anyhow the point i decided to not watch this movie anymore was shortly after Mr and Mrs Simpson were going to go to bed together, all these fuzzy little creatures burst in the door of the cabin and tried to make it all love-like. I turned to my friend and and remarked "this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen". And no i wasn't laughing one single bit. Needless to say it just kept getting stupider and stupider after that. The lame jokes, which in fact numbered in the thousands if not hundreds, just became too much to bear. It was almost like the director was trying to put every joke possible into this movie, and not caring if only a few succeeded. I am glad i downloaded this movie, i would not recommend this movie to anyone at all, least of all a child. This is an adult film, made for those who love the American way and all the foolishness associated with it, who love the gossip and rumor mills and who think this junk can bring positive political change. If that's not you, don't watch it. In fact, i suggest to anyone who wants to watch this movie, join in with what young Mr. Simpson and i did.... and download this movie - for free.
