The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons movie came out on July 27th and I'm finally to see it tomorrow night. Every website is doing a review, but I am keen to write something different. I want to know just how well the movie has been going. I also found some interesting facts on the movie and the tv show. Update: Awesome movie, much like a long episode of the show. Some might expect it to be a laugh-fest all the way through, but think of the show- is it ever funny 247? It has a lot of moments that are pure Simpsons gold.
