The Simpsons (2007)

Well Im a die hard fan, but for the past few seasons wasnt exactly happy with the way the series was. A little repititive, a little trying too hard and over all a little too dumb. The series has dumbed down considerably (maybe just like the country its "made" in - apparently its just the writers and producers who are real americans, the rest of it is done in south east asian countries which i think goes totally against what the show stands for, or maybe its supposed to be ironic) Anyways back to the film- its lackluster performance all through, the usual one liners are missing, bart wants to have a dad like Flanders!!! yes i know i will never forgive him for that! Lisa is more pathetic than usual and Maggie can be glimpsed only in a few scenes. The usual characters that we love have been sidelined for Homer. I like Homer, but it was his interaction with the rest of Springfield that made it worth watching. The rest of Springfield just like in the movie- is nowhere and amounts to nothing. The story revolves around Homer who f@#ks up everything like usual and Springfield suffers. This time it is to be vaporised. So to escape he moves to Alaska. Then he comes back to save the day blah blah blah. and top it all the ending - believe it or not Homer and Marge ride off into the sunset swapping saliva with Maggie in their lap..blech!! I wanted the Simpsons i got something that Meg Ryan and some Amul Baby would star in. 3/10
