The Simpsons Movie

At last, after nineteen glorious seasons, the hilarity that is the Simpsons has been made into a full length theatrical movie. The Simpsons Movie is everything you could possible hope for it to be, and more. After Homer over-pollutes the river with an overflowing silo of "Pig Crap", Springfield becomes becomes the most polluted town in the wold. This causes the EPA to encase the entire town into a glass dome. Homer and the family escape, and now they must find their way (around their own problems) to save Springfield before President Schwarzenegger orders for the annihilation of the town. Simpsons fans rejoice, the movie is far from a letdown. It will leave you rolling in your seat with laughter with the rapid amount of hilarious jokes and gags. What makes this more than a bunch of Simpsons episodes strung together (besides the screen and sound format) is the depth of character explored and the focus of the story. In addition, The Simpsons Movie is much more offensive than a typical episode, with much more language and sexual humor. Parents beware, it earns its PG-13 rating. Even if you aren't a hardcore fan of The Simpsons, you'll still love this fantastic, outrageous comedy.
