Homer adopts a pig who's run away from Krusty Burger after Krusty tried to have him slaughtered, naming the pig "Spider Pig." At the same time, the lake is protected after the audience sinks the barge Green Day is on with garbage after they mention the environment. Meanwhile, Spider Pig's waste has filled up a silo in just 2 days, apparently with Homer's help. Homer can't get to the dump quickly so dumps the silo in the lake, polluting it. Russ Cargill, the villainous boss of the EPA, gives Arnold Schwarzenegger, president of the USA, 5 options and forces him to choose 4 (which is, unfortunately, to destroy Springfield) and put a dome over Springfield to prevent evacuation. Homer, however, has escaped, along with his family. Can he stop the evil Cargill from annihilating his hometown, and his family, who have been forced to return to Springfield?
Leave your thoughts about The Simpsons Movie.
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWith a hearty 'Woo-hooo' and no 'doh' spared, The Simpsons make the journey from small screen to big with their subversive wit, their wanderlust and their sentimental streak entirely intact. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiEven the naysayers, the ones who claim that the show hasn't been worth watching since Clinton was in office, will be amazed and delighted by a storyline so strong and funny that it deserves to be ranked among the show's all-time greatest episodes |
| CNN.comPaul Clinton (CNN.com)Nobody should have a cow. Bigger and longer don't always mean better, but The Simpsons Movie is still a cut above. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowLike "Hairspray," it's not just a spinoff but a wised-up family comedy that's spirited and inventive. It retains the farcical belligerence of the TV comedy but also heightens the series' oddball warmth and expands on its Hellzapoppin' slapstick. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA good movie, but also one that betrays the strain of great expectations, a four-episode length, and a 400-episode back catalog. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThe show has been the gold standard for satirical TV ever since it debuted in 1989. This long-awaited movie adaptation has plenty of laughs, plus an assortment of milestones for fans. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterThe genius is in the writing and in keeping all gambits created by the individual writers in sync, so the piece has a tonal consistency and a narrative flow. A lost art in Hollywood? It's really one of the best movies of the year. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleCould this adventure be as great as jumping Springfield Gorge? Those visits from Sideshow Bob? Ralph choo choo choosing Lisa? Yes. Worst episode ever? No. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...a conclusive portrait of the dysfunctional American family - stuck with each other and, deep down, OK with it. |
| Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)Randy ShulmanThe vocal work is so finely honed by the cast of regulars, that the acting conveys a timing and skill rarely encountered in even the best live-action comedies. |
