I saw the movie with my dad and my cousin back when it first came out, and I didn't know quite what to expect. I came away very impressed.
The movie manages to blend a serious plot and character development with classic Simpsons humor; while you know you're definitely not watching a typical episode of the series, it doesn't feel like something completely different. The most impressive part is how they actually treated Jerk Ass Homer seriously, and made him realize he needed to change. And Maggie gets one hell of an Awesome Moment.
The extended opening and the closing sequences were great, too. This film had a great soundtrack overall, especially "Spider-Pig" and "Springfield doesn't have an anthem".
Awesome movie is awesome
