Animated Comedy: The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons Movie (2007)

Homer dumps pig shit in the lake, causing an environmental catastrophe. Bart realizes that Flanders is a better father than Homer. Marge questions her love of Homer after realizing how egocentric he is, and Lisa tries to save Springfield and falls in love with the brainy outsider. Yep, just your typical episode.

Don't get me wrong, the movie was good for what it was, and granted, the plot was a little more extreme than a regular Simpsons plot. It was worth watching, and was very funny in certain parts. Homer makes the movie, of course, fucking up stuff for everyone, yet able to escape the very catastrophe he's caused. There's a scene where Bart goes skateboarding naked, and they actually show little Bart for a few seconds. I'm sure Fox would never have aired this in a regular episode.

All in all, this was just a 90 minute, uncut, uncensored Simpsons episode. If you are a Simpsons fan, especially in the later decade or so, you'll enjoy this big screen version of one of America's favorite television series.
