The Simpsons Movie
Very good, but too high expectations - Wayne
This was an incredibly good movie. It was more of a tenn and up movie with a few scenes of Barts 'doodle' and Homers giving the finger but it was still good. The expectations were a little too high so no matter what happened this movie would never be as good as it should have been
