    Just saw it, very good in my opinion. Got quite a bit of laughs :D

    Of course the spiderpig part is awesome... not to mention the choral version during Homer's attempt at an epiphany!
    Never knew (written) Swedish came so close to other Germanic-originating languages though... ****, I just learned something!
    Yay for the Simpsons!

    For me the funniest line was:

    "More than 2 strokes and it's touching yourself?" - Homer

    I saw it this afternoon. I felt that too many scenes where there just to score cheap political points. I am getting quite tired of shows voicing various opinions without actually exploring them. The attack on Alaskan drilling being a prime example.

    I actually agree with virtually every point they tried to make but it just felt that I was being preached to and told what I should think rather than being allowed to make an informed choice.

    Wasn't that funny - a few laughs here and there but the whole Simpsons thing is getting a little old now and the plots more and more far-fetched. If it were a regular length episode it really wouldn't have made any sort of impression on me, the majority of the plot threads were based entirely around getting a joke rather than actually being that interesting. Entertaining and easy to watch but probably won't see it again.

    It was fun!

    As good as expected. Only thing I didn't like was the 2 Americans who were sitting behind me reading everything they saw on screen. Holy jebus! I swear if they weren't bigger than me and with their wives I would have turned around and applauded them for learning to read. Incidentally, their wives looked just as embarrassed as I was annoyed.

    Maybe I'm just a jaded fanboy, but I can watch anything from season 1 all the way up to 11-12 and still bring myself to tears with laughter, but most everything after that is garbage. I thought the movie was decent. Like Lynx I really don't like being preached at by movies but it wasn't even that that bothered me about the movie. It just wasn't really all that funny, and it seemed like they tried too hard to make it a laugh every minute like someone up there^ said. My favorite joke from the movie is when
    Bart drew on the wanted sign...

    I thought it was hilarious.

    People clearly expected some kind of humor that isn't the Simpson's Humor.

    My favorite line:

    Ralf: I like men now!

    Spiderpig was not in the slightest bit funnym especially since it was over used in all trailers and previews.

    I found it completely average.

    The first 30+ minutes were amusing, but after than I was just bored and fidgety in my chair.

    I thought this movie was absolutly terrible, I found the open sequence funny and that was it. As a hugh Simpsons fan (pre Season 14 only) I found the whole thing a massive bore and most of the plot seem to be lifted out of previous episodes.
