The Simpsons Movie (2007)

I'd held off seeing this after the Simpsons post season 10 went from being one of the best animated shows to a complete pile of crap. But though 'why not, can't be that bad.' The movie is better than the awful recent episodes but still suffers from bad writing, unlikeable characters and general stupidity.
It wasn't all bad though, the jokes about the government were pretty good such as;

President Schwarzenegger
'I was elected to lead, not to read!'

The EPA
'I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher'

The NSA listening in on everyone's phone calls
'You hang up first. No you hang up first. Ok! She... she hung up on me'
'Hey everyone I found them! The government actually found someone we're looking for!'

Overall a pretty poor movie but there are definitely worse ways to spend 90 minutes. smile
