My Thoughts on The Simpsons Movie

Let me preface this by saying that anything you read here having to deal with The Simpsons will be skewed because I am indeed a Simpsons fan, not a normal fan, but one of those horribly nerdy types who remembers fondly the names of characters that were introduced years and years ago in only one episode (Col. Leslie "Hap" Hapablap, Aristotle Amadopolis to name a few).

With that being said, I ABSOLUTELY ADORED this movie! From the moment the movie started with.....hang on a second.....

***SPOILER ALERT!!!***

From the moment the the movie started with Ralph Wiggum (my favorite character of all time) singing along with the 20th Century Fox Anthem, to the very end of the movie's credits with Squeaky Voiced Teen "Jeremy Peterson" mocking the patrons of the theater by sweeping the floors and ending with "4 years of film school for this?!?".

I saw this movie twice in one weekend, I am ashamed that I am so nerdy that I did so, but happy because it was such an enjoyable movie. The last time that I did this with any movie was last year at Clerks 2 (that's cause I am a Kevin Smith fan as well). I had missed a few things on the first pass so I was glad to have the chance to see it again.

This is so much better than most of the episodes that have occurred within the last 3 years of the show, its obvious where all of the writers went during that whole time (though I doubt it took them that long to pen the damn thing). A few things to note, since this is no longer bound by regular TV rules you can get away with more...such as nudity, swear words, and purposeful youth alcohol imbibing.

The most played parts that you've seen on the commercials don't even give you a hint of what is happening throughout the whole of the film; which is refresing in this age where the "suprise" moments are generally given away in the trailer.

All in all, it was a damn good movie i'd give it 5 out of 5 but I hate rating systems anyways. But please people for the love of whatever deity you might believe or not believe in, leave your damn kids at home! There are a few things in this movie that you might not want to explain to your little ones until they're a bit older.
