My Take
A Simpson's movie is long overdue. In fact, they may have waited too long to make the movie, because the show has lost some of its popularity from earlier years. If you are a fan of the television show, you will love the movie. The story was pretty good and there will be times when you can't help but laugh. They do have some scenes that are questionable, and they will poke fun at almost anybody so you must be able to take the jokes in good humor or you may become upset. Of course this is an animated movie, and several of the actors have several characters. It is hard to judge the acting and directing in these kind of movies, so the plot becomes that much more important.
Should You Watch???
This movie is geared towards fans of the television show, of which there are many. If you are not a fan of the show, you may not understand many of the jokes and it might not be for you. The Simpsons have a unique style of comedy that may not be suited for all people. Although this is an animated movie, it is not suitable for young children as it includes some adult material. If you haven't seen the Simpson's television show, you can still enjoy the movie so I suggest you give it a try. I liked this movie.

That is a good take on the Simpsons Movie. I enjoyed this movie as well, but it seems that it would have been less expensive and better to just watch the show. They poked fun at that very fact in the movie, but it is really true. This movie was like three episodes smashed together; and just like the episodes there are good ones and bad ones. I was not impressed as a whole, but it was entertaining and had a few laughs. Overall I think it was good, but I would have had just as much fun watching two or three episodes on TV.
