Top CriticThe pace is breakneck, and the animation -- though still primitive -- makes good use of the full width of the screen.
07/27/07
Top CriticClever, cutting and irrepressible, The Simpsons Movie hits the big screen with all the humour and panache we have come to expect from the series
07/23/07
Top CriticScarcely exploring the liberties of cinema the way the South Park movie did, The Simpsons Movie still showcases deeper and truer colors

the writing of the episodes are so brilliant that the big-screen version simply lives up to the show's name
08/17/08
From its very first frame the movie is through and through The Simpsons and its creators have taken the time and care to make this worth a trip to the theater rather than waiting for another syndicated rerun to come on.
07/31/08
Hysterically funny, genuinely cinematic -- and you get to see Bart's doodle, too.
05/20/08
'The Simpsons Movie' only sporadically harnesses the boundless creative energy and satirical edge that earned Groening's series its reputation as one of the most sophisticated comedies in TV history. For fans, however, it is a gift long overdue.

We barely get a line from Mr. Burns, Moe, Lou and the rest of the bunch, but following Homer J. Simpson is not a bad way to spend an hour and a half of your summer.
03/03/08
Hardly calls for the emphasis of a feature presentation except that it's a powerful form of market engineering.
01/23/08
One of the year's funniest theatrical releases, [but] it's also tough to shake a feeling of mild disappointment.
01/08/08
Thankfully, the cinematic adaptation bears a strong resemblance to the great early Simpsons episodes, with a consistent script, nonstop jokes, and lots & lots of Homer.

If you love the show...you'll love the movie.
10/31/07
The big screen version of the legendary TV series is a fitting tribute and is worth the wait.
10/22/07
If you combine all important elements into one 87-minute 'PG-13' film, will you have what Comic Book Guy would call the ... Best. Episode. Ever?
09/21/07
As a full-length cartoon, "The Simpsons Movie" is drawn out - but in a good way.
09/13/07
Gives us the most evil EPA agent in movies since William Atherton unleashed the minions of Zool on New York City.
09/03/07
Doh! What a colossal disappointment. The Simpsons Movie has its funny bits but so does the average Marge-centric episode. But this is a highly anticipated 90-minute episode for which audiences have to pay.
