OK, The Simpsons used to be the one exception to the rule about never dubbing stuff: I don't know where the hell they found the guy, but whoever did Homer in portuguese was just freakin' hilarious, far better than the original guy!!! I didn't quite understand why, but they got someone new to do it for the movie and it's not the same. That aside, the movie is pretty good, maybe like a good Simpsons episode, not one of the best though... I don't know why the hell these cartoon scriptwriters can't live without that dull part of the movie where everything kinda gets screwed up for the main character and he's forced to realize how wrong he was the whole time, repent and live happily ever after (in this particular case, all this happens in Alaska, which doesn't help shaking off the whole dullness of the moment)... and if they really need it, why does it have to be so mind-numbingly boring?!?!!? Those lonely walks, sad song on the background... it's like wasting 10 minutes of the damn movie... and Simpsons is no exception to that rule... it starts off great, maybe for the first 40 minutes or so it's the funniest thing... then, it kinda gets stuck for 15-20 minutes, and almost manages to recover (but not quite) by the end... sorry, but in my book South Park did far better than the Simpsons on the big screen... (even though, South Park too had the whole repent scene, but it takes like a minute or so...)
It's still pretty funny, much better than your average comedy... but after "18 year in the making", I kinda expected better from these guys...
Just to finish off on a good note, here's a pretty cool version of the title song... you reckon this guy
