September 16, 2009For such a long awaited film, this really disappoints! I think it had 3 really laugh out loud moments and that was about it! It became annoying when it reminded you 'It?s a film' every 2 seconds and the Spider Pig sketch is not funny at all. Why do people think that's funny? The ...( read more)

April 6, 2009Hmmm the Simpsons has long past its best, the only amusing thing here is when Bart skateboards naked, apart from that its very average, just like the show, time to stop methinks.

December 14, 2008Kind of disappointed with it. I liked it yet it felt very short and not worth the 30 bucks in tickets and food at the theatre.

November 8, 2008Being a fan of the Simpsons means I probably expected a little more than this feature length film managed to deliver. Perhaps the popular cartoon is much more suited to its usual episode time limit.
Having said that, it still an enjoyable watch, it just didn't have anything e...( read more) -

November 17, 2009Could've been funnier, but then again I'm not a huge Simpsons fan. Not bad though.

November 16, 2009I loved it... I thought it was hillarious. I mean, it's true, one could say it was simply a LONG episode, but, it was REALLY funny.

The best prospect of The Simpsons Movie is that it will return communal intelligence to moviegoing. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
This one feels incomplete, an underachiever still searching for a real reason to exist beyond enriching a fat franchise. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
It's subversively hilarious as well as strangely touching, and it features a scene in which Homer is directed across the landscape by the twin shadows of a woman's mountainous chest. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The picture works because, despite the fact that it took nearly six years for the filmmakers to bring it to the screen, it doesn't strive for greatness. It's fleet, concise and clever in a nut-ball way. full review

It had to happen. The Simpsons have finally become bona fide movie stars and this hilarious, clever and irreverent film proves it was worth the wait. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The film fires on all cylinders, one-liners coming thick and fast. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The Simpsons Movie is full of the anarchic, generous, good-natured humor that is the show's enduring signature.
July 26, 2007
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There's something about the Simpsons that's radical and simple at the same time, subversive and good-hearted, offensive without really meaning to be. It's a nice balancing act. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
If you like the TV show, you're going to love the movie. full review

August 26, 2008Basicly, this made it on to my worst movies ever list.
They should have stopped making the episodes about 9 years ago now. The new crap taints how good the old stuff was. I didn't even smile during this waste of my life. -

December 21, 2007Having watched this a 2nd time I liked it better than seeing it in the theater. I do think that the classic and older episodes of "The Simpsons" are far superior to the crap they put into the episodes today. I really do believe that they have run out of ideas for the show and should just end the series. It is about time that they made this series into a movie. I hope they do make more of them into films. I loved the animation and some of the cute sayings. Was it just me or did I not see "Sideshow Bob"... All and all a great film for the Simpsons franchise. 3 stars
