Homer Simpson has always been reckless and impulsive, but this is his most epic blunder yet. After Lisa has finally convinced the citizens of Springfield to rid their lake of pollution, Homer and his new pet Spider Pig decide to head in the opposite direction. After polluting the lake beyond repair, he causes all of Springfield to be sealed in a glass dome by the Government. With the entire town baying for their blood, the Simpsons manage to escape, but life on the run soon turns bumpy and it’s up to Homer to tidy up the mess he’s created.
Who is not a fan of The Simpsons? Having grown up and been hugely entertained by the hugely popular show, the excitement that ensued when I heard they were making a movie was palpable. The Simpsons Movie is a wonderful film filled with comedy, memorable characters, drama, and romance. Right from the off, there is no way that this film could be a flop.

After Lisa has fought tooth and nail to convince Springfield to clean up their lake Homer in his infinite wisdom, decides to go in the opposite direction.

After years and years of writing quirky and moral stories for TV, the writers of The Simpsons have been saving the most epic and zaniest adventure for the family’s very first feature film. The story is weird right from the off, beginning with a tragic, yet funny, death of a certain rock band. From there, the events of the film snowball into a riotous 83 minutes of misdemeanours and laughs.
What I love about the movie, aside from the fact that it’s The Simpsons Movie is that it has a healthy dose of everything in it. There’s plenty of “do’h”s and comedy, but there is also drama, tension, and a fair bit of romance, particularly between Lisa and a too-good-to-be-true Irish lad. Aww it’s so adorable!
I have to say, at this point, that there is something incredibly romantic about some of the kisses that Homer and Marge share. I don’t know if it’s the music or the animation, but every time you see it, you just melt. It’s lovely.
Featuring the voice talents of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, and A. Brookes, The Simpsons Movie is a fantastic family film that’s filled with action, comedy, romance, drama, tension, and all our favourite characters, plus a few new ones. I mean come on, it’s a Simpsons movie! How can you not love it!?
Spider Pig. Spider Pig. Does whatever Spider Pig does. Can he swing from a web? Now he can’t, he’s a pig. Look out, he is the Spider Pig.
