Well, it was good to finally see The Simpsons on the big screen. It certainly looked cinematic at times. But as a good friend of mine recently commented, this movie is basically a Simpsons episode spread out over 87 mins. With the same amount of laughs you would expect in a 22min installment.
They went for the big, but seemed to forget the small. So many favourite locations and characters from the TV show are overlooked. The family were taken out of Springfield for 20 mins. It just wasn't funny enough. It had the potential to be Borat wettingly funny but they were thinking so much about the cinema they forgot about the jokes.
The film looked great, but it felt more like a school outing than a journey to the school itself. The best gags have been seen in the trailers, I liked it but I wanted to love it.
