Rating : - Title: Is it Juvenile...D-OH, YES! Is it beneath a well-adjusted Adult's Mentality...D-OH, YES! Is it lamebrained...D-OH, YES!!!
Ahhhhh...the Simpsons...I vividly remember watching the series on which this movie's based back when I was just another know-nothing, naïve and misdirected child/teenager. I used to loyally watch said series and never miss a weekly installment of it; I was what you'd call a "fan," what everyone who subserviently fawns about this movie and series is, too. However, some time after I hit 18 and legally became a man, something correspondingly occurred which instantly curbed my level of interest rightly away from the Simpsons. This "something" is called mental and emotional maturity, a blessing that comes with the onset of adulthood; as I became an adult, I starkly realized the epiphany that the Simpsons appeals to the lowest common denominator of society: immaturity, crudeness, and grossly redundant stupidity.

Frankly, the sickness that explains the worrisome and totally questionable interest of primarily adults in the Simpsons franchise is their monstrous lack of aforementioned adulthood!!!! The adults who still enjoy the Simpsons may want to re-examine their social conscience and take a page from my textbook by realizing that the Simpsons can truly only be enjoyed by kids/teens because at that age, one's brain is still puerile, therefore making it receptive to the low-minded elements of the Simpsons. For adults, I see no justification at all in enjoying the Simpsons, unless they admit to being unsophisticated, lowbrow and generally juvenile.

My thesis (in case you were too unobservant to identify it) is the Simpsons Movie and series are so profanely juvenile that only kids/teens should be watching it, and adults watching it are developmentally stunted. I'll now present concrete, inarguable examples from scenes in the film itself to support my thesis. This is how it's done in the adult's world. This way, you, the adult, Simpsons viewer will be forced to acknowledge how childish you are and forced to face your denial.

The Simpsons Movie wrongs the viewer on three levels: intelligence, decorum and originality, all of which tie into my opening paragraphs. Regarding intelligence, there's only so many times a normal, well-adjusted adult (not a child living in a man's or woman's body!) can take the shortcoming Simpsons jokes about Homer's chronic dumbness. For instance, as in Homer falling through the roof after preparing to hit Bart's fingers after Bart's rolled down the roof and wound up hanging from the gutter. Still, there's the part where Bart childishly fires a BB gun at Homer who's carrying bricks (so Jacka$$-like). Or, how about the eternally annoying line by that nuisance Nelson: "Ha-ha!?" All this is stupid, and if you're an adult and disagree, then you're so sophomoric that it's not even cute anymore!!!!

Regarding decorum, again, there's only so many times any sane, well-adjusted adult (man or woman) should be able to tolerate coarse references that are commonplace in Simpsons land. In example, Bart's caught drinking by Marge while in a motel, and he chugs down the whole bottle while being chased; the bus driver smokes pot from a bong upon thinking the end is near; and the town drunk, Barney, is dumped into the lake along with beer bottles, celebrating the unsophisticated joke that he's so inebriated, he's raiding even a stash of empty beer bottles. One would think that most adults would be able to proverbially sophisticate themselves to a point where lowlife jokes about drunkenness don't seem that sharp or funny anymore.

Regarding non-originality, well-adjusted adults shouldn't accept the redundancy of the characters/plot lines. Cletus being portrayed as a southern-sounding, slack-jawed hick/yokel which blatantly insinuates an attack on conservatives, as Groening glaringly sees red-staters like this; Homer the fata$$ imbecile who always screws up (in the movie's case by dumping toxic waste into the lake); Bart continuously being the troublemaker by committing mischief such as nude skateboarding; and jeering at organized religion (Grampa having a religious experience of ecstasy while at church) are all a derivative and boring rehashing of tangents seen on the TV show years ago. If you're over 18 and still entertained by this, you must have attention deficit disorder or something.

Another, equally indisputable implication against this film that proves my thesis of its profane juvenility is the overkill of unwholesomeness together with obscenities of a grade-school level. For instance, there's many references to slang terms for male genit*ls (wiener and doodle, slang terms for female mammary glands (b*obs), uses of "a$$," the word "cr*p," and even some G*damns just for sport. On the unwholesomeness side, fat kid Ralph is hoisted up a flagpole so we see his bare buttocks, two men kiss before rushing into a hotel room to flagrantly get busy in g*y sex (this occurs when Marge assumes two cops have arrived to catch her), and Homer sophomorically commenting, "More than two shakes and you're playing with yourself (relating to shaking off one's p*nis after urination)."

Bottom line and conclusion: I've now utterly substantiated my thesis that only kids/teens or puerile adults are ones who should naturally get gratification out of the Simpsons. If you're grown-up and defy this fact, you're likely developmentally retarded.
