One Paragraph Review: The Simpsons Movie

This movie did what South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut did so well, and that is to make you feel like the movie was just one big long episode of The Simpsons. I think when you make a movie out of a TV show that has been around forever it's probably very easy to be tempted to doing something hugely different and grandiose. But I think most people don't want that. We like The Simpsons. No reason to go and do something out of the box and stupid (like a live action movie). As the South Park movie was one extra long and brilliant "South Park" episode, The Simpsons Movie is one extra long and great Simpsons episode. If you like the show, you'll like this movie. Nice and simple.
