Product Description
Product Description
Homer accidentally causes an environmental catastrophe which could doom Springfield forever. Homer now must save the city and rescue his family. Springfield's usual characters and new favorites all turn up in the first ever movie length version of the hit TV show, 18 years in the making.
Amazon.com
The Simpsons had already ruled TV land for many years by the time they finally attempted to conquer the movie world as well. It was never any big secret that a Simpsons movie was in the works: Fox registered the domain name "Simpsonsmovie.com" in 1997, a full nine years before the film was finally greenlighted. When creator/producer Matt Groening’s creation finally made it to the big screen in 2007, it only turned out to be the biggest hit of the summer, raking in over $100 million gross in box-office receipts in its first week, before heading on to do over $500 million worldwide, proving that the best joke in the movie was actually played on the audience: "Why pay for something when you can see it for free?" asks Homer at the movie’s start. Naturally, all the trouble starts with him. When he adopts a pig ("Sir Oinks-A-Lot") destined for Krusty’s slaughterhouse, it triggers an environmental catastrophe, forcing the government to seal Springfield into a dome and destroy the city. While the family manages to escape and flee to Alaska, they eventually decide to return and help save the city in more-or-less classic Simpson fashion. As Homer’s joke about the audience shows, Groening and producer Al Jean are keenly aware that their franchise is first and foremost a TV show. Maybe a little too aware, as the movie fails to ever rise above anything more than an extended episode, and not even one of its best episodes at that. True, there are plenty of good jokes; the animation has been kicked up a notch to be particularly sharp and detailed; and there are some truly memorable moments such as Bart’s nude skateboard ride and the "Spider-Pig" song. But when the film finally materialized, the payoff for long years of anticipation turned out to be small as the movie failed to live up to its potential; it’s amusing but not truly funny. The Simpsons Movie leaves the impression that maybe the show’s writers and producers had already spent their best ideas on the best years of the TV show. Had it been made years earlier… well, we can only wonder what could have been. --Daniel Vancini

That may sound like a strange recommendation about a movie where the storyline is held together by pig crap, but it's absolutely true. Like the TV show of the same name, "The Simpsons Movie"really isn't held together by it's storyline. On the contrary, the movie is much like the TV show in that it begins with one thing only to change focus and turn into something else midway through the film. As mentioned before though, all the major events in this movie start when Homer Simpson, fresh having adopted a pet pig named Spider-Pig/Harry Plopper, dumps all of the little porkers dumpings into Springfield's lake, therefor causing the US Government to declare Springfield a health hazard and seal the town in a large glass dome.
This doesn't sit well with anyone in Springfield really, but it sits the worst with Homers (very patient) wife Marge, who received a spiritual message from God prophesying this event, and warning of more danger to come from it. And while we're talking about spirituality, it appears that the passages about a father needing to take care of his family proves to be very true in this movie. It's not just Marge who Homer tends to neglect, as his own son Bart is craving the attention of a proper father figure after a particularly humiliating event involving a skateboard, a dare, and a little yellow doodle. With Homer not filling the shoes of a responsible father figure, Bart ends up looking at neighbor Ned Flanders in a new and caring light. This comes as news to Bart, who previously felt Flanders was nothing more then a conservative loser who didn't really have any fun.
Lisa meanwhile is mad at her dad for polluting the lake, a serious offense in her book seeing how much of an environmentalist she is. Oh, and she has a new Irish boyfriend that I'm willing to bet will disappear once season nineteen airs on Fox in November (just in time for the annual Halloween episode to air one week after Halloween). As for Maggie...well, she's the one member of the family who says the least, yet seems to understand more then everyone else in the movie. As with the TV show (depending on who you ask), "The Simpsons Movie" delivers so many laughs you might need a spread sheet database so you can keep track of all the jokes, the first of which has Homer watching a movie version of Itchy and Scratchy, and complaining loudly "I think everyone in this theater are a bunch of suckers for paying for something they can watch on TV for free."
We then have a President Schwarzenegger making all the wrong decisions now that he's in the White House. I'm wondering whether or not I should mention the big name celebrity who guest stars...nah, I'll leave that for you to see. With eleven writers on the screenplay, "The Simpsons Movie" has as many writers as "Meet The Robbisons" did, twice as many writers as all the summer sequels, yet it's one of the most intelligent scripts of the year. It reminds us why the Simpsons have been on the air for so many years, and why we continue to watch even when the quality of the show has been spotty the last couple of years: Because when this show nails it, it nails it hard.
What is the "it" I refer to? Everything. It hits with the humor, so it's laugh a minute. It hits with the action, so that it's exciting when it needs to be. But most importantly, it hits on the heart. The characters may be stereotypical at times, but they are real human beings. Human beings who make mistakes, want more from life, and question the choices they make. It's this key difference that makes shows like "Family Guy" look like the cheap productions they are. While "Family Guy" is content to laugh at the characters, "The Simpsons Movie"gives us characters we can laugh with and, at times, share an emotional moment or two with. Maybe that's why whenever Homer does something stupid we sympathize with Marge and the kids so much. We love Homer. Why wouldn't we like Homer?
He's generally a nice guy. The problem is he's an idiot. He's a MAJOR idiot! Yet we forgive him and all his flaws because we see he tries so hard to be good, it's just that his human failings bring him down, as they do everyone else. Rounding out the experience is a wonderful musical score by Hans Zimmer. I don't normally bring up musical composers in my print reviews of movies, but I think this is interesting to note because Hans Zimmer is one of my personal favorite musical composers and one of the most acclaimed in Hollywood right now. That said, he's not who I had in mind for scoring a Simpsons movie. His best scores are that of epic's such as "Gladiator," "Pearl Harbor," and "Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End." His comedic scores for movies such as "Shark Tale" and "Madagascar" are pretty weak though.
To say I was a little concerned about the music would be putting it mildly. Thankfully the music is a revolution in itself. Working with a bigger canvas the script for "The Simpsons Movie" aims for a higher emotional reach and succeeds spectacularly. The score reaches the same epic heights while still getting the low key moments perfectly. It's sounds like Simpsons music, but more mature. A perfect sound for this movie. I'm not sure if a review for "The Simpsons Movie" is really something the world needs. I don't know if people who don't regularly watch"The Simpsons" are even all that interested in seeing this movie, and faithful viewers will watch it anyway. So regardless of my high praise, and three hours time it takes to review this movie are, ultimately, a futile effort. D'oh!
Rating: **** and a half stars
Obviously in terms of video quality you're better off buying this on Blu Ray, or 4K UHD (is the movie available in that format? I didn't check) or even just watching it on Disney+. But I will always have nostalgia for this relatively lower-quality viewing experience, since the first time I watched the movie was uh, let's just say, I "found it somewhere" on the internet back in 2007, and it was not the optimal viewing experience. Objectively speaking, you probably shouldn't actually buy this, find a better alternative. But I'm giving it 5 stars anyway, because of the nostalgia.

The dvd isn't the big package of extras you might have expected.
The extras come in four sections. a main section offers two commentaries, one from the writers, producers and some of the actors, and another from the animators. this menu will also let you access the following three sections:
deleted scenes, featuring six scenes that didn't make the final cut of the movie. they're all quite funny.
special stuff. four short films that may not mean much to british viewers, as they centre round a few american things. one has homer as guest host on an american chat show. one has him hosting the american version of pop idol. one has him as a judge on this, judging simon cowell's singing [very funny scene!] and one has him in a parody of an advert for food that used to be played a lot in american cinemas.
the trailers section offers five different trailers for the movie that ran over the past year and a bit in cinemas.
Watching this on a PC and moving the pointer over the top wording in each of these sections activated an easter egg for each, each showing production drawings for one of the characters. and if you go the set up menu, accessed via the main menu, click on the left side to bring up a spoof trailer for TDK sound. Doubtless moving the controls round on a dvd player may bring these up if you can't see them on a computer.
Not the best package for the movie, but a fun enough film for this to warrant five stars
