Movie Review - The Simpsons Movie

Ignore the awful plot, ignore the dig at the audience at the very start of the film. Try (if you can) to ignore how many times the church moves. (it's NOT next door to Moe's, and isn't later on either!)

This film was not intended for those who:-

A) Can see.

B) Pay Attention.

C) Have an attention span longer than 3 minutes.

D) Have seen more than 20 episodes of The Simpsons.

The continuity is dire. (the moving church for starters!) The geography is dire (clearly there is no link between this and any of The Simpsons computer games and The Kwik E Mart is NOT within 1 block of Moe's!).

The number of truly awful HOWLING mistakes is terrible. A Clear Glass Dome that casts a shadow, Homer falling through his roof and NOT landing in his attic? Julie Kavner sounds like she has an awful sore throat for most of the film. So much of the film is stuff recycled from old episodes (I don't think there is a single new idea in the movie).

There are a few laughs but they are blatant. Like Homer telling Harry Plopper to drive from the back seat of his car and the adult deer covering the baby deer's eyes. The main Simpson family all go completely go against their normal on screen and well established characters. Apart from Lisa. Homer, the worlds best known meat-eater saving a pig from slaughter? Bart loving Flanders? (Been done before as well). Marge swearing? Generally the film is bad and I would not even recommend it to die hard fans.
