Review: “The Simpsons Movie”
Posted on July 28, 2007 @ 8:27 am
Is it too late to add Plopper (a.k.a. Spider-Pig, a.k.a. Harry Plopper) to my countdown of the top 25 Simpsons supporting characters? I thought The Simpsons Movie delivered on almost every front: beautiful animation, a solid story, and some downright hilarious gags. I would have liked to have seen more of our favorite Springfieldians get a chance to shine (Mr. Burns seemed particularly underutilized considering the nature of the plot), but I understand the difficulty when you’re trying to cram literally hundreds of characters into a 90-minute movie.
The bottom line is, if you’re a fan of The Simpsons (even the kind that claims the show jumped the shark a decade ago), go see The Simpsons Movie. It’s well worth the 18-year wait. And there’s Spider-Pig. I can’t overstate the wonderfulness of Spider-Pig.
The verdict: A-
My top ten favorite movies of 2007 (so far) follow after the jump.
1. Children of Men
2. Hot Fuzz
3. Music and Lyrics
4. The Simpsons Movie
5. SiCKO
6. Live Free or Die Hard
7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
8. Blades of Glory
9. Grindhouse
10. Ocean’s Thirteen
Yeah, Music and Lyrics is number three. Wanna make something out of it?
