The Simpsons Movie DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Simpsons can’t be held onto the small screen, they just have to hit the big screen! However, even when they hit the big screen, they have to come back to the small screen, and that they do with the release of “The Simpsons Movie” on DVD. From the day the series began, the series was just begging for a movie release. It has all of the right elements for the big screen. Yet five years later, there was no movie. Ten years later, no movie. But now, 18 years later, there IS a movie, and it was well worth the wait. Unlike some television series that find their way onto the big screen, “The Simpsons Movie” stays true to the series and almost feels like it is one extended episode of the series, and a good episode at that. The film begins with Grampa Simpson having a vision (or maybe just an old man senile moment) at church that something horrible was about to happen. Meanwhile, Homer adopts a pig (which Homer pretty much treats as his own child, while totally neglecting Bart) that poops. And it poops a lot. So much that Homer must build a silo to keep the poop in. But when the silo becomes full, Homer has to do something with the waste and decides, being the wise man that he is, to dump it into the lake. This causes chaos as the EPA decides to take action against Springfield, action that is so serious that it could mean the end of Springfield. Can Homer save the day? And can he save his son from Ned Flanders, the man that has basically become Bart’s father since Homer has been neglecting him? Find out these answers and more in “The Simpsons Movie!”
