The Simpsons Movie.
While I was in Chicago I saw the Grand Theft Walrus movie, a.k.a. the Spider-pig movie. a.k.a. The Simpsons Movie. And I had a pink-frosted donut with sprinkles. The movie was great, like a good Simpsons episode that was stretched to feature-film length. There was a lot of 3-d camera moves like in Futurama, but the overall look was the Simpsons. The plot was a usual convoluted Simpsons plot. And that's probably its weakness. If you don't like the TV show and expect something different from the movie, you're going to be disappointed. There are no grand truths revealed, no overarching message. It's really just another Simpsons episode that takes advantage of some things you can do in a feature film that you can't on TV. I'd give it four out of five stars.
