The Simpsons Movie
Yarr, what do you do when you’ve been up for ~35 hours and you want to do something before bed? You go see a movie. Preferably a movie that manages to keep you awake. I’ll give you this much, if you like Simpsons at all, you’ll stay awake for this one. As far as cartoon-goes-to-the-big screen goes, it can’t get done much better. They keep the people, the pace, the blend of humor and the entirety of their bravado, and they make it work for an hour and a half. It’s quite a feat.
The storyline is as you’d gather Simpsonesque, we wobble a bit here and there as the family goes through less than good times, as per usual. It starts of funny and keeps on going, there aren’t many moments between laughs, be it from slapstick, subdued jokes, internal references, personalities gone wrong, the whole nine yards — and this without feeling like a string of jokes or a repeated string of the same joke. Well done!
Should you see it? If you like the TV series, yeah, your really really should. If you don’t like the TV series, I’m sure you and that other dude can meet up and do something the two of you. The rest of us have a movie to watch.
