The Simpsons Movie

*** Stars

Thank god this movie doesn't suck.

In fact, the Simpsons Movie is one of the best Simpsons episodes in quite some time. But also with that, it's just a long Simpsons episode. But there is certainly nothing wrong with that. Homer is up to his usual tricks and still manages to bring laughter to all of its fans. The first 30 minutes are hilarious in its own screwball, political way. The Plot: the city of Springfield orders a clean up of the polluted Lake Springfield and bans waste dumps there. However, someone forgot to tell Homer Simpson that, and when he dumps a silo of "Pig Crap" in it, he inadvertently dooms Springfield, his family, and himself.

Homer Simpsons must be the only character in the world that can destroy his town from his pig's crap. And with that, it's pure genius.

The films does lose its steam at the end, slowing down the side splitting laughs, but it does show the struggles and misfortunes of a typical American Family who think they all want different things, but can't stand to be away from one another no matter what.
