The Simpsons Movie (2007)
Overwhelmed with what to do with all that extra time in the movie?
Have to agree with jdwhite in his review. Just saw the movie tonight and while it was a thrill to see The Simpsons on the big screen and in a movie length feature, it was good but not great.
It had it's moments but there were also parts that were rather weak I thought. It's like they were overwhelmed with what to do with all that extra time. It lost a lot of character because the "characters" (the various faces of Springfield) just weren't very deep. We only saw a small percentage of the characters that make up Springfield and not much focus on them.
Would I buy the DVD when it's released? Absolutely. It's a must for anyone who is a fan of The Simpsons.
I give the movie a 7 out of 10.
It's still amazing when you see the credits at the end and you realize just how many of the voices have quite a few characters that they play.
Thanksgiving Family Reunion (2003)
An insult to the previous Lampoon Vacation movies!
What an insult to all the previous National Lampoon Vacation movies! Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid and the others who helped make the National Lampoon Vacation movie series great over the past 20 years should be apologized to. This movie was absolute horrible! Judge Reinhold I felt was the wrong person to play the character Mitch Snyder. (I'm glad they had sense enough not to call him Clark Griswold as well!). The movie never really produced any genuine all-out laughs.
If you're a big fan of the National Lampoon Vacation movies, you're gonna be disappointed with this one. All I will say is it's a good thing it was made-for-tv movie and was free!
