Amazon.co.uk Review
Racking up impressive box office numbers right across the globe, the arrival of The Simpsons Movie onto the big screen proved, for many, to be more than worth the wait. But with its DVD release, there's a compelling argument that Springfield's finest have come back to their natural home. The film itself is primarily Homer-centred, with the head of The Simpsons family seemingly consigning Springfield to certain doom when he dumps his waste where he shouldn't. But, in the true spirit of the show, the plot takes a relative back seat to the antics of America's first family. And it's those antics that offer the film's gold. As you'd hope, it boasts several laugh-out-loud moments, from visual gags (the rock and hard place being a favourite) through to the by-now infamous Spider-pig. There's not quite enough material to keep the chuckle counter going for the full duration of The Simpsons Movie, and the criticism that it's effectively three episodes strung together has some truth to it. But you'd still be hard-pushed to complain for one key reason: The Simpsons Movie is grand entertainment, with plenty of rewatch potential. So while you can add us to the queue of people who wanted more Mr Burns, and while it doesn't quite measure up to some of the show's best episodes, The Simpsons Movie still delivers, and does it with some quality. And Spider-pig is a work of genius…--Jon Foster

 Not as good as Mr Plow, but what is? April 26, 2008
After several recent seasons of nearly laugh-free Simpsons where the lead voice artists deathlessly intone non-sequiturs, I really thought that it was time the show was put out of its misery. And then, we get the movie, and it's really quite nice. The writers seem to have remembered that the characters have to be sympathetic and relatable, so that we actually see them showing personality traits beyond being ridiculously glib about everything and hideously selfish. The film finally puts the family back in the Simpsons.
And it is really funny. The stuff with the pig is good, but the opening with Bart and Homer on the roof and Bart's nudie skateboard run sets a good pace. And the animation is really good, so that they do feel like the whole thing is being expanded for the big screen and makes good use of the longer running time and wider screen size.
Some people keep saying it's just like an extended series episode. Well yeah, what were you expecting? The good news is that it's an extended series episode from when the series was worth watching.
Really good April 15, 2008

Very funny. I LOVED IT!!! I burst out laughing at most of it. I love Spider Pig. Homer finds a pig at a food restrant and names it Spider pig, of cause animal's do have droppings and homer puts it in a metle thing and dumps it in a lake and thing get extreamly bad. I would of gave it 5 stars but sadly my family think that the film hasn't got the other characters in it as much as the seris do, but it's called the SIMPSONS for a reason. ***** for me but my family says put ****. Thank u =]
 They couldn't even make the very first movie original April 14, 2008

The very first Simpsons movie. It's apparently two decades in the making and many people waited desperatly for it to be released after it was announced.
So why couldn't they make the first ever big screen Simpsons as eic as it should have been?
There's some good jokes in there, but that's about all that's good about the film.
First thing is they spent too much of the movie introducing new characters instead of using old ones, Mr Burns was barely in it, Sideshow Bob and Patty and Selma not in it at all. Instead they replaced them with new characters and watsed time giving them stories. Barely any of the people from Springfield were in the film, just the Simpsons. And the Springfield people make the show.
Second, is the plots annd sub plots. Homer does something very stupid while hurting himself repeatedly, Marge has doubts about their relationship and takes some time to herself, Lisa tries to get people to care about an issue she believes in and Bart acts out.
Absolutely nothing new there then.
The last thing is the DVD. All the seasons on DVD have been packed with deleted scenes and commentaries on every episode. Creators have said about the film that they've had to cut many scenes, characters and ideas from the movie, but all the features are just a couple of deleted scenes and some commentaries.
Maybe it was hyped up so much after being on TV for so long, maybe people will just never be happy with a Simpsons movie, but still, it's just bad. Get the TV show instead.
One lst thing, Spider Pig. For some reason, people are obsessed with it and think it's hilarious and comedy gold. What's funny about changing the words from Spiderman but using the word pig? If that's comedy genius then I wonder what people are calling Fawlty Towers.
Great but... April 13, 2008
I love this film, and so will you if you have watched any of The Simpsons seasons, it should be worth 5 stars, I shouldnt have to be writing that it's not worthy of full marks, but the film is definately worth buying.
BTW - Funny scene Ned Flanders Hot Chocolate Scene.
 Much better than I was expecting April 8, 2008

After all the negative hype about this film when it was released I wasn't expecting to laugh much when I finally got round to viewing it.
What were they moaning about? This is brilliant! Imagine a really long, really good episode of the Simpsons. This is it.
