The Simpsons Movie 2007
I used to love The Simpsons TV show. A couple of years ago I bought DVD sets of some of the early seasons. I noticed that while they were still funny, they were much more conventional than I had remembered, usually with a sweet ending tacked on. The Simpsons Movie is pretty much the same. While it was funny, it isn’t much different than a long version of the TV show except it is in widescreen, some of the graphics and production values are much better (including a haunting version of the Spiderman TV show theme song). Usually a very smart show, I found a few plot twists to be easy to figure out (and I am usually oblivious to clues).
If you like the TV show, definitely go see the movie because it is pretty good. But if you don’t like the TV show, this isn’t going to change your mind.
