The Simpsons Movie (2007)

Tagline:  The movie event 18 years in the making.

Plot:  After Homer deliberately pollutes the town's water supply, Springfield is encased in a gigantic dome by the EPA and the family are declared fugitives.



My rating:  7.5/10

Will I watch it again?   Probably not.

The only thing that makes this different than the TV show is it's 90 minutes (the equivalent of four episodes) instead of 22, is that you get to see Bart's dick.  When this came out, that was the big news and the thing that everyone was talking about.  You could say that Bart's weiner was on everyone's lips.  That whole sequence of hiding his dick as he skateboards through the city and then finally revealing it was a hilarious bit.  It feels like most of the jokes are in the first act with each of the next two getting fewer and fewer.  It's not a home run by any means but it is fun for the most part.  I wonder if Disney+ edited out Marge saying "...throw the goddamn bomb!".  Probably. Assholes.
