It takes a wide
screen to fully capture Homer Simpson's stupidity, and
The
Simpsons Movie does it. In the eagerly-awaited animated feature
film based on the hit TV series, Homer must save the world from a
catastrophe that he himself created – Official Site
What is there that really needs to be
said about a
The Simpsons movie? I mean, all you really want
is two things. 1. It's got to be good, and 2. It has to go a little
farther than what they can do on TV without going over the top. Well,
The Simpsons Movie delivers in spades. From the opening scene
in which Homer makes fun of people paying to see the movie, to the
end credits,
The Simpsons Movie is just about perfect. Not too
long, and yet not just an extended episode, The Simpsons Movie makes
fun of everything from movie goers to Arnold Schwarzenegger, keeping
nothing sacred.
The cast is just as perfect as they
have always been. I have never really paid attention to who voices
who in the show but I finally got an idea how hard the voice actors
work on
The Simpsons. Most notable is one scene where Marge is
leaving Homer (again!) in which Julie Kavner's performance was
heartbreaking. You could really tell how much it hurt her to say the
things she said. I kind of expected a lot more cameos though. All we
get is Green Day, Albert Brooks, Joe Montegna and Tom Hanks, but if
that is my only gripe then I really can't complain.
I could go on all day about all of the
things that this film pokes fun at but why ruin it for you? If you
are a fan, you have probably already seen it. If you are a casual fan
(like me) and have the extra cash, it is worth it to see it in a full
theater. And FYI, there are some extras during the credits for those
interested.
