In spite of Fox publicity’s misstep of not screening it in time for weekly papers to a review it, “The Simpsons Movie” lives up to every bit of irreverent satire Simpsons fans are accustomed to.
Homer and his family watch an “Itchy and Scratchy” cartoon before he breaks the fourth wall to implicate himself as a “sucker” along with the rest of the audience who paid for what they could get at home for free.
The ensuing big-screen reverie provides more than enough laughs to justify your trip to a local cinema. Grandpa has an inarticulate premonition of bad things to come and Homer’s pollution of the Springfield Lake, with droppings from his new pig (“Spider Pig” AKA “Harry Plopper”), causes an environmental crisis that lives up to the warning.
America’s lame government, lead by President Schwarzenegger, traps Springfield under a giant glass dome and the rabid masses discover Homer’s misdeed and attack with a vengeance.
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie escape from their hermetically sealed town and head for Alaska where Bart is forced into an epiphany amid the snowy landscape.
Rated PG-13. 86 mins.
