"I saw the Simpsons Movie the other day. It was pretty funny, I have to admit. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that some of the jokes were absolutely hilarious, if only for their magnificent timing. I laughed when Homer flipped the bird--repeatedly--to everyone as he disappeared into the sinkhole. XD
It didn't have a lot of action per se, but it was filled with the same Simpsonesque charm that some of us have come to love, and that others of us have grown tired of. It's like an extended episode of the 22-minute show that appears on our TV screens on a regular basis, so you needn't worry about the setting being too alien or the plot being too ridiculous (hey, after the episode Gump Roast, nothing these guys can do will ever faze me). The animation is a little different, however: CGI is called into play more often, so if you've ever watched Futurama, you'll have a very good idea of what I mean.
All in all, I'd say it was a good movie, one which stayed true to the Simpsons formula. As I said, It was like watching a super-long episode of the show, so if you're expecting something epic from this but you're not a fan of the TV series...better not see this one. I think I'm probably not going to watch it again at the cinema. It might make a good Christmas gift for a family member, though...."

I got teary eyed at that part too. I loved the movie. It was just like sitting throught a really long marathon of The Simpsons, which I do weekly with all the episodes I record every week.

But it just ended up coming off as really lame. The movie was good until the plot came up (sometime after naked Bart?).
Also, domes =/= spheres. Christ I hate cartoon physics.

I understood it all though.
But there were a lot of things that were written in English that they didn't translate or sub, so I was laughing my head off at some parts while everyone else just stared at me ::sigh...::
I loved the political jokes. The American government has some OBVIOUS problems.

To be honest, since the show has started to get a little old and tired, somewhat, the movie has kicked some new life into it. It felt more like the older episodes, in the respect that there was some emotional scenes, and whatnot, like the Bart/Flanders thing and the Homer/Marge thing, without going into detail.
I didn't find Spider-Pig as hilarious as half the known world, though. To be honest, I thought the stuff with the supporting Simpsons characters was much funnier, such as Grandpa and whatever, when he was having that fit in Church and he's getting dragged out, and he's like, "Thanks for listenin'!" Lollerz. Also, that nerdy Comic Book Guy when he was like, "I've spent my entire life devoted to comic books, and all I can say is... LIFE WELL SPENT!" - That made me Lol, too.
Surprised to see some long-forgotten faces from old episodes in the movie, too.. such as The Great Gabbo, that old bum who originally created Itchy and Scratchy who I can't recall the name of, and even Otto's Ex-Fianceé, Becki, appeared in the crowd at one point. Pretty weird stuff, considering they were like, one-shot characters.
I forgot to mention, I also found that Government guy funny, I forget his name. The one who keeps giving President Schwarzenegger those choices, and is pretty much the main villain of the movie. He's done a few voices in the cartoon before, including that episode where Bart gets fat off junk food, and there was that hilarious bit at the end credits with his character, a fat camp drill instructor, and Homer, arguing over a cheeseburger. "Give me a bite of that cheeseburger! I'm driving, I'll *kill* us!" - I swear, he just has the funniest voice of authority, ever.

I kept thinking of that episode every time that EPA guy showed up in the movie. I can't name any other voices he's done though.

Having robbed a look at IMDB.com, he's called Albert Brooks in reality, and the character in the movie was Russ Cargill.

He also did the voice of Jacques, who, as memory serves me was that sleazy guy from the Fiesta Terrace that Marge nearly cheated on Homer with, from that old episode with the bowling ball named "Homer." - He also did the voice of Cowboy Bob, the R.V Salesman in that other very old episode... and Hank Scorpio.

There are plenty of lines that made me burst out laughing, and I've always kinda liked pigs so that was a personal bonus for me.

Personal fave:
Russ Cargill: Mr. Governor, I have here FIVE equally unthinkable options-
Arnie: I pick option three!
Russ Cargill: ...But you haven't even read it yet.
Arnie: I was elected to lead...not to read.
Just the way he said that line cracked me up. Also, considering Sideshow Mel is my FAVOURITE CHARACTER EVER, I was happy that he got his couple of lines. He's just Shaskespearian.

I was quite upset by the lack of Sideshow Bob.
Unless he died somewhere in a new episode, and I've yet to see it.
Still, can't have everything.
I would've killed to see him get hit in the head with a rake, though.

My favorite aspect, though, is that things from the movie (like Plopper the pig) will be transferred into the show, so the movie isn't just some tacked on, unreferenced extra adventure.
Go to the cinema you lazy pirate hooker.
Agreed.
Yeah, this is one of those movies where the theater makes it a better experience.

They recorded some lines for him (and several others) that were eventually cut before the final print of the movie. They'll probably be included in the DVD release, since Matt Groening said they probably had enough cut material left over for two additional movies.
