Does whatever a spider-pig does
Can he swing
From a thread
No
Because he’s a pig
Lookout
Here comes the spider-pig!
If seeing Homer walking a muddy pig across the ceiling
singing that isn’t enough incentive for seeing The Simpsons Movie, how about it
is smart, funny as hell and
endearing? Yes I said, “endearing.”
Strip away all the visual gags, drug references, the
insanely smart pokes at society and what you have is a story about family love.
And bonding together. Homer may be the biggest dough-nut eating dolt to ever
hit the screen, but when he needs his family, they rush to him. Led of course,
by Marge.
The Simpsons Movie is like a long episode – it even has a
moment where the screen goes black at a pivotal point and says, “to be
continued.” After a few seconds, the word, “ immediately” fades up.
The jokes and gags come fast and furious.
As for the story, well, Homer screws up and Marge, Bart,
Lisa and Maggie have to pull his sorry ass out of trouble. Homer’s actions
leads President Schwarzenagger to make a pivotal decision about Springfield’s
future. And that’s about it.
Except for Spider-Pig!
Oh I’m sorry, now he’s Harry Plopper.
Now major spoiler alert! Turn away now if you don’t want
to know.

Maggie speaks. I won’t say when or where, but she speaks.
