didcha, didcha, didcha?

i saw it opening nite and loved it. nothing earth-shattering of course, but lovingly put together and quite funny the whole way through. good pacing. it was more or less like watching a simpsons halloween or x-mas 'extended' special, with some extra twists and turns, and more charming and poignant moments. [well, poignant for the simpsons].

i plan on seeing it again. and again. i love catching all the little details i missed the first time.

I saw it about a month before it came out (company perk), and loved it. Looked like the animation got a little bit more slick; almost 3-D at times.

I won't mention any favorite parts, as I was not certain whether or not it was finished and ready for release when I saw it. When we saw "Walk The Line," it ended up having an extra 50 minutes in it that was yet to be edited.

The Simpsons = Very recommended. This is coming not from a company man, but from someone who has been a fan of the cartoon characters since they were nothing more than commercial bumpers for The Tracy Ullman Show.

I saw it the other day and really enjoyed it. I expected to see more of the popular charecters from the show, but I don't really watch the show so maybe that's how the episodes are these days.

7 out of 10 is fair. It was nothing amazing. I would agree it was very funny. Probably get it on dvd, wouldn't see it at the cinema again though. cant afford it!

I saw it a few week ago. First 45 minutes are worth every penny. Movie as a whole is pretty good. Would've been better if they featured more of the characters rather than dropping them in here and there. I would consider it "lightly spiced."

It's a very good movie.  Kind of takes the "Homer screws up, then redeems himself," storyline, which is pretty common in the Simpsons series.  But few shows have earned it's cliches the way this show has.
