The Simpsons Movie...
Last week we watched the Simpsons Movie. It was hilarious. I've seen reviews that said it wasn't that great, but I disagree. I enjoyed it greatly. Out of 5 stars, I would give it 4 1/2.
For anyone who has watched the show, even if they haven't watched it through the entire 19 seasons, the characters will of course be familiar. The general plot is that Lake Springfield as got so polluted that something has to be done. Lisa starts a campaign to solve the problem, which helps until Homer does something stupid. Then the Government steps in. The movie has two many points, I think, politically. First is that we have to work to protect the environment. Second is that everyone has their own agenda and that we can't rely on groups like the EPA to solve the problems in a way that's in our interest. We have to solve them ourselves.
Anyway, I loved it.
