After two decades of getting it for free, we now get to pay for it. (Making a joke of the fact, first thing out of the gate, doesn't alter it.) The M.O. of the Fox-TV weekly series carries over into this Unprecedented Cinematic Event: the throwaway amusements in the early going eventually give way to the grind of plot mechanics. On the big screen at four times the length, the grind is of course bigger (Homer pollutes Lake Springfield and imperils the town) and longer. And the conscious primitivism of the animation gains little from the magnification. With the voices of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria, and Albert Brooks; directed by David Silverman. (2007) — Duncan Shepherd
