Simpsons movie reviews

[AboveAverage]

I am going to see it on Saturday, but I am looking to see what the rest of you thought of it. I see its getting really good reviews on rotten tomatoes. But will it make me laugh like the vintage Simpsons did?

Post your reviews.

Heard it was just like one long episode. Haven't really heard if it's good or not, but I'll personally still wait unitl it hits DVD.

[MechanicalBull]

going to see it tonight. it has gotten 3.5 stars and so far on imdb it has gotten an 8.9 out of 10 but it also just came out so that probably will change.

Just came back and thought it was good. It was an actual movie with a story/plot and everything. The one thing me and my friend afterwards was that there was not enough from the minor characters.

I know you have to have the movie revolve around The Simpsons but the hardcore fan in me would've loved to see more from the other people of Springfield, but it still was a good movie.

[BroncoBuff]

Anything with Agnes Skinner and the mother/son dynamic with Seymour?

That's always good for a laugh ...

Hilarious, but like was already mentioned, not enough plot from other characters.

I thought it was almost as good as some of the golden age episodes. It was one of the funniest movies of the year as well. They did a good job with its length and pacing the jokes, because any longer and it would have gone on too long.
Some Favorite bits:
1) Intro: "You're all suckers for paying for something that you can watch for free on tv"
2) Bart skateboarding --> Ralph: "I think I like boys now"
3) Homer giving the finger to everyone
4) The marge video tape scene
5) To be continued...immediately
6) "there they are"
7) Polar bear kicks dog

All good parts, but "there they are" was really funny. If you stay through the credits Mr. Burns has a funny line.

I went to see it with some friends last night for my bday. We were all laughing like the whole time. I didn't even realize how little there was of smaller characters so that wasn't an issue for me. There were a lot of subtle things that I cracked up at:
Grandpa's "Oatmeal Enthusiast"
the Greenday concert had some great subtleties
"Lisa clap for Alaska!"
I can't even remember all the jokes, it seemed like you were laughing every 10 seconds.

The previews were kind of concerning because they were all like kids' movies so I was afraid Simpsons would be too watered down but it was fine, usual humor for kids, adults, and all ages.

It's already on DVD. My bootleg guy already has it, but he said it wasn't studio quality, so I passed.

Dammit I didn't. Oh well another excuse to see the movie again then.

[Los Broncos]

Im taking my son to see it today i think.

Will give my opinion later.

[BlaK-Argentina]

I'll probably see it next week, as most theaters are FULL of people this weekend. Great to see it's getting good reviews.

[Los Broncos]

Just came home from seeing it.

Its pretty much just a long episode.

Good humor, many laughs.

My son liked it.

[Jens1893]

a movie that shouldnt have been made.

its too short for an actual movie and too long for this kind of thing. the opener with itchy & skratchy was just plain awesome, but the movie peaked just about there. the story sucked.

"Simpsons" movie enjoys huge box office opening

Sat Jul 28, 4:10 PM ET



After paying their dues on the small screen for 18 years, "The Simpsons" have become movie superstars in just one day.
"The Simpsons Movie," an animated feature based on the TV mainstays from Springfield, smashed industry expectations to earn an estimated $29.1 million on its first day of release on Friday in the United States and Canada, tracking firm Box Office Mojo (http://www.boxofficemojo.com) said.
The tally represents the fifth-biggest start so far this year, the company said, and means the movie will likely exceed forecasts when estimates for the weekend are issued on Sunday.
The film's distributor, 20th Century Fox, had cautiously hoped the movie would hit the mid-$30 million range for the Friday-to-Sunday period. Industry analysts were more bullish, forecasting a three-day opening in the $50 million range.
In May, "Shrek the Third" -- another well-known animated franchise -- earned about $39 million on its first day and $121.6 million for the weekend. If "The Simpsons Movie" follows the same trajectory, it will test the $90 million range.

The film reportedly cost the News Corp.-owned studio about $70 million to make.
Elsewhere at theaters on Friday, Box Office Mojo estimated that last weekend's champ, the Universal Pictures comedy "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" slipped to a distant No. 2 with $6.2 million/
It was followed by the New Line Cinema musical "Hairspray" ($5.2 million) and Warner Bros. Pictures' boy wizard saga "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" ($5.0 million).
Warner's new Catherine Zeta-Jones romantic comedy "No Reservations" opened at No. 5 with a lukewarm $4.0 million.
At least it did better than the latest bomb from troubled actress Lindsay Lohan. Her Sony Pictures thriller "I Know Who Killed Me" opened at No. 9 with $1.3 million. It will be lucky to crack $5 million for the weekend.
Lohan was arrested in Los Angeles early Tuesday for suspected drunk driving and cocaine possession after a high-speed car chase. Universal Pictures is a unit of General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal Inc. New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. are units of Time Warner Inc. Sony Pictures is a unit of Sony Corp.
