The Simpsons Movie

Homer Simpson adopts a cute pig, dubs him Spider Pig and dumps his pig crap in a lake, causing an ecological disaster. The federal government drops a dome on Springfield, causing Homer and his brood to be ostracized; they eventually wind up in Alaska. Who really cares about the plot with a Simpsons movie? I just want to see the crazy cat lady and the many scenes with the Spider Pig—and the film delivers both. If you are not a fan of the show, stay the hell away, because this is just more of the same. Luckily for fans, “the same” would be funny, nasty comedy delivered via hilariously primitive animation. While this film might not be a stand-alone classic, it fits snugly into the Simpsons universe, and that’s a good thing. May there be many more TV shows and movies to come. This film contains an outstanding Tom Hanks cameo.
