The Simpsons Movie: The Official Review

Me as a Simpson

My pre-screening fear that it would suck and forever stain the series' legacy was baseless. The movie was, in fact, "excellent." I left with a smile on my face (this is an actual photo of me right after the movie ended).

My big question is whether the recurring character that was killed off (with a final twist on one of my favorite catchphrases) will come back on the show. I mean, it's The Simpsons... they tend to "forget" about previous plot lines.

And I must recognize that the movie boasts an Oscar-worthy performance. You heard it here first: "And the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor goes to ... Spider-Pig!" (thunderous applause)

As a side note, I was really relieved they didn't have Homer dropping multiple f-bombs or show Marge's boobs. I didn't want the movie to stoop to doing things not allowed on network TV just for some cheap laughs.

However, the couple times they did stoop were well-placed and damn funny.
