You know The Simpsons, so they made a movie. Was the movie better than the series? No way. This is the case here, but add lack of funds as a "bonus" and you receive a yawning experience. The movie cannot carry itself. It is just an expansion of a gag, usually no longer than 5 minutes. The movie was done for the summer, that is no shame, but it could have been written better. The main characters lack development, and the plot goes nowhere. But worst of all is the absolute lack of visual effects, so needed in a movie revolving around the destruction of Sodom. I say if you don't have the money to make the necessary visual effects, don't do the movie. Set it up in a place where there is no need for expensive effects. The foreign audience won't be able to watch this movie, because it is absolutely out of context for those unfamiliar with the TV series, which this movie is based on.The Israeli audience, such as myself, was allured to the theaters by the aggressive promotion and a high anticipation. Disappointment was the outcome, unfortunately.

My god, what a pleasure to see a movie which doesn't pretend to appeal to children. Such a movie is rare these days in the Anglo Saxon world. Thank god for the French who do not need to worry about income because of the government subventions. Moliere is written to the French knowing adult, which understands the intricacies of that French period, full of gaps between the poor, the rich and the aristocrats. Moliere, the writer, fully understood those gaps, and included them in his splendid masterpieces.This movie, actually, is an interpretation on the inspiration of Moliere for writing one of his plays. I especially enjoyed the way Moliere was presented as a tragedy lover and a comedy hater. Very ironic.

I know. Nothing is logical in the way Arnold saves his daughter, but I loved it. He kills and kills again. Nobody hurts him too much and the law of gravity doesn't influence him. But, if I watched it carefully in these days, it means a lot. Arnold is really great, and the movie cannot disappoint you.

I did not understand why Arnold dragged that woman with him. Could it be that among all the amazing things he masters in the movie, flying is not among them? I must admit that the woman beside him could have been someone richer in the looks devision, but this minor flaw cannot diminish the pleasure of this movie.
