The Simpsons Movie (2007)

At 87 minutes, the Simpsons movie is not as funny as any given 22-minute TV series episode -- but it's funnier than I expected from the previews and it succeeds much better than other animated series-turned-movies. Besides, you really have to see the mob scene -- and Homer riding like Ghost Rider in the Videodome -- on the big screen. 3 stars.
