So, I took one 2 hr block to myself. I grabbed my once-a-month blow fund and headed out after a rather trying Saturday of watching the kids, and said, “Damn it, I’m going to see something for me.”
Something with nary a trace of romantic comedy, meaningful plotline, or maybe even sense. I went to watch “The Simpsons Movie”.
Let’s cut to the chase. You get to see Bart’s penis, Homer flips-off the residents of Springfield, Otto hits a bong, and Marge says ‘Goddamn’. That’s why this movie is PG-13.
It’s dumb and boring. I nearly got up and left right after they went to Alaska. If they’re shooting for ‘duh duh’, at least make it move apace. How do you make (generously) 90 minutes that BORING?
There were some pleasant vignettes and quick-hits; in particular, they skewer the gov’t very well. However, I can’t help buth thinking they made this ‘movie’ a few years ago, and it made a big ’thud’ with test audiences, so they went in and added some “Family Guy” humor, and then cut the actual plot down to nothing, then released it.
Shame on them. I wish I’d just driven to Lexington to watch Transformers.
