Film Empire Magazine's controversial two-star review of The Simpsons Movie: "How did something so light and confident become so lumbering and unsure of itself? Everyone is trying too hard and getting nowhere. Lamed, as the later episodes have been, by an overt political agenda, the film so bangs the drum for Al Gore’s eco-message it borders on polemic. Saving the planet may be vital, but not at the expense of Homer’s sublime buffoonery please. The series is at its best when satirising the intricacies of ordinary life — aim smaller, hit bigger."

Have to say I agree with Empire. Wish I didnt, but the film, like the last few series, has just lost it big style. The first 10 series are all-time classics, but they really need to put it to bed before its reputation is ruined
