Homer falls in love with a pig and dumps its 'leavings' in the local lake causing an environmental disaster leading to Springfield being sealed in a glass dome.Is the movie worth the wait? Yes... and no.
It's funny, with plenty of the usual Simpsons sharpness, the naked Bart skateboarding scene is cleverly done, and there are knowing references to other episodes, e.g. jumping the Springfield gorge. But...
...OK to be picky - there is not enough of some characters - Apu and Patty & Selma immediately spring to mind - I'd have loved another celebrity cameo other than Tom Hanks, and the love interest storyline for Lisa is just annoying. Why introduce a new character yet neglect other long established ones?
But I'm being picky, very picky. There are plenty of great moments and wicked lines, there is enough of Flan-diddly-anders, and it's the funniest comedy of the year. Enjoy.
