The Simpsons

After watching this film, it is no wonder that this movie was nominated for a Golden Globe. The Simpsons film was one of the most hilarios films I have never seen. Granted, I never would have payed money to see this film but that is why there is Netflix. With returning voices of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Pamela Hayden, and even Billie Joe Armstrong, this movie was a complete cast.

The plot is very simple and short. The Simpsons are forewarned by their crazy grandfather in church of evil that would ruin their lives. Soon after, Homer brings home a pig that was about to be slaughtered. Marge yells at Homer telling him that this was the evil that would ruin them. Of course Homer does not listen. Homer begins keeping all of the pigs poop in a big silo in their backyard. Marge finds out and tells Homer to go and dump into recycling. Lisa, previously, got the city to build a large metal fence around the lake that was being destroyed from pollution...it was idiot proof (haha). Homer is not your everyday idiot. He becomes distracted with donuts and has to race time. He ends up tossing the silo into the lake and the lake becomes a pollute monster. (Interesting plot, huh!) The "EPA" or the Environmental Protection Agency finds out who dumped the silo and the town becomes enraged and hunts down the Simpsons. The Simpsons cannot get very far because of the big glass dome surrounding their town keeping them away from the rest of the country. Maggie, finds a sink hole (also in their backyard) and tells the rest of the family to hop in. They escape.

The Simpson's are now out on the run and the only place Homer wants to go is Alaska. They go to Alaska. The kids only have so much fun until they watch the news and find out that the government and President Schwarzenegger are planning to destroy Springfield. The whole family (except Homer) rush back to Springfield in attempt to save it. It takes Homer a little bit longer but eventually he goes. They save the town from the government and Springfield is restored.

My rating is a 8.5 out of 10. There was a very good amount of sattire. Usually when TV shows try a movie, they flop. But to me the Simpson's was the best and has set the bar for the rest.
