"After Eighteen Seasons, Four Hundred Episodes, and Innumerable Awards and Honors (Including a Peabody, 23 Emmys, and a Designation from Time Magazine as the ""Best Television Show of the Twentieth Century""), The Simpsons Has Become a Feature-Length Motion Picture!"
Features: DVD, Widescreen, Aspect Ratio 2.40:1, English, Spanish, Subtitled
Homer accidentally causes an environmental catastrophe which could doom Springfield forever. Homer now must save the city and rescue his family. Springfield's usual characters and new favorites all turn up in the first ever movie length version of the hit TV show, 18 years in the making.
"You'll laugh till your knees hurt and you can't breathe!" Gene Shalit, Today
"This long-awaited movie adaptation has plenty of laughs, plus an assortment of milestones for fans." J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader
"...a classic Simpsonian interplay of family psychology, social commentary, and brainy visual and verbal jokes tossed off at rat-a-tat speed..." Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"Like "Hairspray," it's not just a spinoff but a wised-up family comedy that's spirited and inventive." Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun
"The movie is best when it just riffs on our compacted memories of the past 18 years of episodes. Fortunately, that's most of the time." Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
"...the most wickedly funny arsenal of assaults on big government, organized religion and corporate America this side of "Borat."" Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
"The genius is in the writing and in keeping all gambits created by the individual writers in sync...one of the best movies of the year." Stephen Hunter, The Washington Post
Editor's Note
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE may not qualify for the honor of "Best. Movie. Ever," but even the harshest critics like Comic Book Guy will find little to dislike in this hilarious comedy. Springing from Fox's hit series, the movie expands the adventures of the Springfield residents into a feature-length film. Here Homer's selfish antics (and a hankering for free donuts) are responsible for a horrific ecological disaster that could spell the end for Springfield. So it's up to the paunchy patriarch to save his family and the town from the mess that he has created.
Just as in the Emmy-winning show, THE SIMPSONS MOVIE skillfully combines smart satire with inspired silliness. Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria, and other regulars of the series provide laughs with their vocal talents, while Albert Brooks is hilarious as the film's villain. Though THE SIMPSONS MOVIE is best seen after a lifetime of watching reruns of the show and repeating its endlessly quotable lines, viewers don't have to be die-hard fans to get the jokes. Screenwriters Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Co. are at the top of their game here, channeling the show at its best. The film comes after 18 seasons of the series, but it's certainly more in the spirit (and quality) of the show's best years.

Review
Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
The Simpsons are fairly surprised to find themselves in a movie; they can't believe "anyone would pay to see what we did on TV for free." But I suspect a lot of people will. Here is a feature-length version of what Time magazine, no less, called "the 20th century's best television series." That may say more about Time magazine and the 20th century than it does about the Simpsons, but never mind: The movie is funny, sassy and intelligent in that moronic Simpsons' way...For me, the three biggest laughs in the movie (I won't spoil them) are a plug for the Fox network, a skateboarding sequence inspired by "Austin Powers" and a unique way to go fishing. Those, and the peculiar everyday lives of the closely knit Simpsons, fill in the gaps in the plot, along with a devout neighbor who, considering what Homer puts in his mailbox, is more sinned against than sinning...If "The Simpsons" is indeed the best television series of 100 years (almost half of them, to be sure, without television), I guess I shouldn't be surprised to visit the Internet Movie Database and discover that the movie has been voted the 166th best film of all time, seven places above "The Grapes of Wrath" and 10 ahead of "Gone With the Wind." - Roger Ebert
