It was hard to believe that it took 10 years (or more) for the Simpsons team to get this movie made. Maybe they should have pulled the trigger sooner as it appears to have ripened on the vine a bit. It's basically one LONG Simpsons episode that I had to pay for. In fact, there's a great gag about that right at the beginning (Homer looks straight at the audience, points and calls us "suckers").On my "cartoon show rating continuum" -- with 10 being the very best (such as South Park "Episode 1008: Make Love not Warcraft") and 1 being crap (such as any, and I mean ANY, episode of Family Guy) -- I give it a 7. Not too shabby.
There are only 2 or 3 parts that couldn't have been done on TV (some crowd scenes, where the characters look like cardboard cutouts, and Bart's naked skateboarding exhibition). But still, it's mostly funny and worth the price of a ticket (for a matinee).
Suckers (DOH!).
