Spider Pig, Spider Pig....

Ok, so unless you live under a rock in a cave on Mars and have been struck deaf, dumb, and blind, then you know that this blog entry is gonna be about...dun, dun, da-dun...the SIMPSONS MOVIE!!

Ok, so I went to see the movie yesterday with my boyfriend and the Rona boys...we decided that it had to be an event, of course, cause its the SIMPSONS MOVIE!! So 8 of us all trecked out to Islington and Queensway to the cineplex there. Why you ask? We don't know since the majority of people there live in Meadowvale, but thats fine. Maybe thats how we managed to only get there 20 minutes before the movie started and were still able to all sit together!

So anyway, on to the movie!! Awesome! I won't spoil anything for you by giving any details, but I can tell you I was most definitely impressed by the movie. Primarily because it was actually a movie, not just an extended episode, or worse like the Family Guy movie, 3 episodes stuck together that they now break up all the time and play for free on TV.

Anyway, there's a real plot, they keep true to all the Simpsons character attitudes and behaviours, and somehow or another manage to give the movie all the elements that a good, I repeat GOOD, comedy movie has to offer. Its not consistent jokes, or hilarious jokes surrounded by minutes of waiting for the next joke...when you weren't laughing you actually cared about the plot and wondered how they were gonna solve all the problems, and all the jokes were appropriate and actually aided in plot and character development. And they actually bother to connect all the things that happen in the movie to other things....you know, the concept of follow through!

I personally give it an enthusiatic 5 thumbs up and recommend it for everyone! There are definitely a few surprises along the way, and trust me, you haven't heard or seen all the good parts just cause you've seen the previews, like most other movies nowadays!!

A word to the wise...they do actually tell jokes all the way through the credits, even after you think the jokes are over, so if you're not in a hurry as you're leaving, rather than waiting in line for ten minutes to try and file out of the theatre with all the others, sit tight and enjoy the jokes til the end of the credits!

Anyway, let me know what you think of it when you see you! (And you better!!)
lol

(and for those of you from the cave in Mars, here's one of the trailers)
