Early Simpsons Movie reviews: not bad, not great
Fox has kept The Simpsons Movie away from critics - usually a sign of a stinker, but movie reviews that are now being posted appear to be mostly in the positive. Over at Rotten-Tomatoes it is currently scoring a 79% (29 reviews total, 23 positive, 6 negative).
A bad review:
“The movie isn’t a disaster, just a disappointment.” - Bruce Newman of the San Jose Mercury News.
A middle of the road review:
“The Simpsons Movie is just like the TV show, whereas the bad news is, it’s just like the TV show.” - Kyle Smith of the New York Post
A positive review:
With a hearty ‘Woo-hooo’ and no ‘doh’ spared, The Simpsons make the journey from small screen to big with their subversive wit, their wanderlust and their sentimental streak entirely intact. - Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel
