After Homer accidentally pollutes the town's water supply, Springfield is encased in a gigantic dome by the EPA and the Simpsons are declared fugitives.
I've never been particularly invested in The Simpsons. This movie didn't turn me around on that. I could stand watching it, Hell, this was actually the second time I've seen it, but I assure you, it was not for my own enjoyment I did so.
Final rating: - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal.
Forgive this forward, but I literally watched all 31 seasons because I was sick and have never understood what the fuss was about the Simpsons.
I really have to conclude that the appeal of the Simpsons was a simple lack of options when it first came out, and then it just grew in power by simply existing for so long.
For this movie: Uninspired watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend, unless you're already a Simpsons fan.
It's really just a lot of the Simpsons being Simpsons, but that also means that the overall story writing is actually pretty good, even if the character writing is rather repetitive.
I did enjoy the introduction of Ploppers, Spider-Pig, but it doesn't really even out everything else.
The big ad...
