Profile of The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons Movie can be described as witty, humorous, and biting. The plot revolves around a political conspiracy, an eccentric family, and a goofy hero. Its comic aspect comes from satire. The Simpsons Movie's main genres are comedy, animation, and family. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. It is located in Alaska. The Simpsons Movie takes place in contemporary times. The movie has received attention for being a blockbuster, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. It is well suited for a family outing, teens, and kids.

Summary of The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons Movie may not qualify for the honor of "Best. Movie. Ever," but even the harshest critics like Comic Book Guy will find little to dislike in this hilarious comedy. Springing from Fox's hit series, the movie expands the adventures of the Springfield residents into a feature-length film. Here Homer's selfish antics (and a hankering for free donuts) are responsible for a horrific ecological disaster that could spell the end for Springfield. So it's up to the paunchy patriarch to save his family and the town from the mess that he has created.

Just as in the Emmy-winning show, The Simpsons Movie skillfully combines smart satire with inspired silliness. Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria, and other regulars of the series provide laughs with their vocal talents, while Albert Brooks is hilarious as the film's villain. Though The Simpsons Movie is best seen after a lifetime of watching reruns of the show and repeating its endlessly quotable lines, viewers don't have to be die-hard fans to get the jokes. Screenwriters Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Co. are at the top of their game here, channeling the show at its best. The film comes after 18 seasons of the series, but it's certainly more in the spirit (and quality) of the show's best years.

Critics Reviews

Washington Post
The genius is in the writing and in keeping all gambits created by the individual writers in sync, so the piece has a tonal consistency and a narrative flow. A lost art in Hollywood? It's really one of the best movies of the year.
Time
So, for those of you who were wondering if a great TV show could top itself at feature-film length, the good news is that The Simpsons did it! But "South Park" did it first.

Users Reviews

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE: I have always loved watching movies starring MINNIE DRIVER, This is one of my favorite movies and I highly recommend it. MINNIE always give 100%, and her acting is always very convincing and spot on. I give this movie 5*****STARS.
I understand the criticisms for this film, but it's better than most people think. Yes, it's basically an 87 minute long episode, but even Simpsons can be funny sometimes. It starts to lag a bit by the end, but this is still a really funny film.
