The Simpsons Movie

<p>Yes, I am a Simpsons fan and I went to see the movie.</p>

<p>I was disappointed - I thought it was a very stretched-out 1/2 hour episode with little plot development. I mean, I wasn’t expecting War and Peace, but I guess I expected more from their first theatrical effort.</p>

<p>I admit, I did laugh pretty hard at parts, but I thought even the humor erratic at best.</p>

<p>Ditto. It left me feeling lukewarm.</p>

<p>I’ve never actually seen the Simpsons on tv, but the “spider pig” commercial always has me howling, so I thought I’d see the movie. But maybe not?</p>

<p>I’m not a huge simpson’s fan (I’ll watch it if it’s on and I’m not doing anything) but I loved the movie. I thought it was hilarious.</p>

<p>I laughed my face off. Two thumbs up.</p>

<p>Husband and grown son are going today. I have no interest. To each his/her own.</p>

<p>Loved it (like I love Fresca)–I’ve already seen it twice! They say every character ever in the show makes an appearance, FYI.</p>

<p>I’m a medium Simpsons fan and agree with UMDAD that it seemed like a long tv show, but on a larger screen.</p>

<p>I guess I admit to expecting more, but then I told myself how I should listen to Homer who admitted in the movie that it’s dumb to pay to watch a tv show…</p>

<p>I don’t know why but spider pig doesn’t do it for me, but I still mostly enjoyed it. (Our nieces “took us” to see it and think spider pig is hilarious…)</p>

<p>My S (a huge Simpsons fan) thought it was great (of course he is 17). He thought it was cool that every character from the shows were in the movie.<br>
Did anybody sit through all the credits at the end? S said there was a surprise at the end.</p>

<p>I wish they would’ve shown more of the people of Springfield. I really thought in this movie they would expand on some minor characters’ back stories. I mean Apu, my favorite character, was only in the movie for like three seconds. How funny would it have been even to show how Springfield deteriorated? The funniest part of the movie was when they came back and Moe was the supreme leader. I think it would’ve been so funny to show how that happened.</p>

<p>I thought it was OK. I’m not a huge Simpsons fan, but I’ll watch it when it’s on sometimes. I personally didn’t think it was long enough. Sure was an expensive TV show;)</p>

<p>Haven’t seen the movie yet, but every time I hear, or even remember, “Spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a…spider pig does”, I start to laugh.</p>

<p>The preview has Ian Maxtone-Graham written all over it. So I guess I might eventually watch it when it comes on TV, just out of curiosity.</p>

<p>/yes, I am one of those Simpsons fan</p>

<p>Definitely make sure you stay through the credits, if you go :)</p>
