Wracking up impressive box office numbers right across the globe, the arrival of The Simpsons Movie onto the big screen proved, for many, to be more than worth the wait. But with its DVD release, there’s a compelling argument that Springfield’s finest have come back to their natural home. The film itself is primarily Homer-centred, with the head of The Simpsons family seemingly consigning Springfield to certain doom when he dumps his waste where he shouldn’t. But, in the true spirit of the show, the plot takes a relative back seat to the antics of America’s first family. And it’s those antics that offer the film’s gold. As you’d hope, it boasts several laugh-out-loud moments, from visual gags (the rock and hard place being a favourite) through to the by-now infamous Spider-pig. There’s not quite enough material to keep the chuckle counter going for the full duration of The Simpsons Movie, and the criticism that it’s effectively three episodes strung together has some truth to it. But you’d still be hard-pushed to complain for one key reason: The Simpsons Movie is grand entertainment, with plenty of rewatch potential. So while you can add us to the queue of people who wanted more Mr Burns, and while it doesn’t quite measure up to some of the show’s best episodes, The Simpsons Movie still delivers, and does it with some quality. And Spider-pig is a work of genius… --Jon Foster

Format:DVD
I can only assume that Fox waited so long to cash in on a movie deal because someone somewhere said they should wait for a decent script. Well they almost did, unfortunately we have all been programmed to half hour shows, so the movie appears to be over long. Having said that, it is funny. You may have to watch it twice to catch all the film in-jokes and digs at Fox. As for the Spider Pig, brilliant, Homer at his best; although the pig goes for a walk at one point and never reappears, one of a couple of unanswered plot shifts. But what the hay, grab a box of doughnuts, slob back and watch.

I expected it to be funny, satirical, irreverent, silly, like an extended TV episode, with flashes of brilliance, and above all hugely enjoyable. And that's what it was. Bart's naked skateboard ride is a classic.
I can't understand how anyone who liked the lovely yellow family on the small screen can give this a bad review. True, many of the established Springfield regulars are missing, but you can't have everything. If you're a fan of the Simpsons, this is a gem. There are second hand copies going cheap now, so buy......you won't regret it!

You need to watch it several times to catch all the little gags you miss each time. Brilliant movie.

Disappointing
The Simpsons (seasons 2 to about 10) is the greatest TV show of all time, by a mile. This film is pretty average and nothing like the classic Simpsons. My opinion of course.
