In the eagerly-awaited film based on the hit television series, Homer must save the world from a catastrophe he himself created. It all begins with Homer, his new pet pig, and a leaky silo full of droppings - a combination that triggers a disaster the likes of which Springfield has never experienced. As Marge is outraged by Homer's monumental blunder, a vengeful mob descends on the Simpson household. The family makes a narrow escape, but is soon divided by both location and conflict. The Springfield citizenry has every reason to be out for Simpson blood. The calamity triggered by Homer has drawn the attention of U.S. President Arnold Schwarzenegger (voiced by Harry Shearer) and Environmental Protection Agency head Russ Cargill (voiced by Albert Brooks). He comes up with a plan to contain the disaster. As the fates of Springfield and the world hang in the balance, Homer embarks on a personal odyssey of redemption - seeking forgiveness from Marge, the reunion of his splintered family, and the salvation of his hometown.
This movie was hysterical. I have been a huge fan of the show for more than half of my life and knew that I would love this one going it. Its basically like a month long arc of the show. They don't try to overdo it at all which I was very afraid would happen. They stayed completely true to the show's form and it was beyond entertaining. Parents beware taking your kids though. Since they are on the big screen, they do push the envelope a little bit much for younger ones. There is a drug scene, Homer giving the middle finger and brief frontal nudity of Bart while skateboarding. Ye hath been warned.
Regardless, I totally loved this movie and wholeheartedly recommend this movie to everyone. Fans of the show will love it and even those that aren't will love it as well . . . . . even if you don't want to admit it.
