Movie Review: The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons Movie has done very well at the box office. Unfortunately, I am not suprised.
Here is what you are not going to miss, Homer Simpson the self-consumed, self-gratifying, self-absorbed husband and father is occupied with himself and his new pet pig, named: "Spider Pig" . He is too distracted by myself, to accept the city of Springfield new ordinant: no dumping in Lake Springfield. Homer, out of self concern he does not obey the the signs and warnings at the lake entries and dumps Spider pig's waste into the lake, polluting it. The city of Springfield, by government orders, is covered by a glass dome isolated from the rest of the world. Then there is Homer's son Bart, who pretty much dislikes him, his wife needs him, and then there are the daughters (in which Homer has no personal contact with), well his daughters and their relationship with him...well this film didn't quite capture one. It was like they didn't matter. O but Lisa, the oldest daughter, finds "love". Eventually Homer and his son Bart, saves the day, and the people of Springfield rejoices.

I recently heard a journalist dubbed the Simpsons as everyone's favorite family, and I wonder is it because we see their family and feel better about our own?

I give this movie: 2 TIARAS
