What Parents Need to Know
This review of The Simpsons Movie was written by Sandie Angulo Chen
Parents need to know that the movie breaks no new ground content-wise (except for showing Bart's tush and penis). The same hilarious -- but intentionally in-your-face -- levels of humor apply. The movie features a few more edgy words and sight gags, but nothing comes near, say, South Park levels. Minor characters and animals are crushed, kicked, and killed off, sometimes in groan-inducing ways. Bart gets drunk, Marge and Homer share a pre-coital scene, and there are lots of jokes that reference other movies and cultural events that might go over the younger audience members' heads.

- Families can talk about the impact of The Simpsons on popular culture. Is the animated show's popularity even greater than that of Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Harry Potter? Is it wrong to show Bart drinking? What would really happen if a 10-year-old drank a miniature bottle of alcohol? Parents can also discuss caring about the environment and how even one person's actions make a difference.

More on The Simpsons Movie
What’s the Story?
Springfield lovers have been waiting, like Homer drooling over an out-of-reach donut, more than 18 years for Matt Groening and James L. Brooks to get the merry geniuses behind The Simpsons to create a feature-length film. Finally, followers can see their beloved first family of animation on the big screen, and it was it worth the wait. Homer's (Dan Castellaneta) up to his usual tricks in THE SIMPSONS MOVIE when his selfishness (in this case, adopting a pig) triggers the worst emergency in Springfield's long and disaster-prone history. Meanwhile, Bart (Nancy Cartwright) starts wishing okalee-dorkily neighbor Ned Flanders (Harry Shearer) were his father, and Lisa (Yeardley Smith) falls for a young Irish activist. Marge (Julie Kavner), as always, sums up all her patience to deal with the latest family crisis.
Is It Any Good?
While The Simpsons Movie probably can't compare to any fan's favorite episodes, it's a triumphant collaboration of nearly a dozen of the series' best head-writers and producers. The result is a film that's true to its episodic roots -- tons of characters, A-list cameos, meta references -- but also appealing to even the casual or non-viewer.
Simpsons adventures are really best seen and not explained. Even a straightforward visual gag, like Bart skateboarding in the buff or Ned preparing a cup of hot cocoa, is side splitting. And then there are the deliciously intricate crowd -- or more accurately, mob -- scenes when primary, secondary, and occasional characters mix seamlessly together. Ahhh, sweet, sweet laughter. The audience at several points roared so loudly that it was hard to hear the dialogue. But you don't have to be a line-memorizing Comic-Book Guy to enjoy the film. Even the uninitiated or usually unimpressed should find plenty of opportunities to laugh so hard you cry during the 86-minute treat. Be warned though, you won't be able to stop humming "Spider-Pig" once the end credits (a perk for those who stay 'til the very end) roll.

Great for newbies of the series!
This adaptation of the very funny TV show that has been on 20 years already! More tame than the show and would be better to be watched with kids who want to get to know the caracters. Very Funny!

A Good Movie, Very Funny
The movie was very good. I have it on DVD. I mostly enjoy the first half. There isn't much language, but there is some smoking and some inuendo, but I think 10+ can definitely handle it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Excellent movie! Ingenious plot, and FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY! I don't even watch the show that much, and, despite the constant "you have to be a fan" comments, I still loved it. There was one scene when Bart skateboards around town naked, which wasn't a big deal i guess, but then they had a brief moment when they showed his private. I guess it got away with the PG-13 rating because it's a cartoon.

Get Ready To Laugh
Okay I know most of the people think their kids shouldn't have anything to do with the Simpson's, but this movie is just funny, just funny. It is not anything else, it is a little inappropriate, but it is a great movie and the only reason why I made it a good role model star is because Homer relizes to save himself he has to save his family and all of Springfield. This movie is a crack up!
