It was all in the preview.

Homer is attacked by the hounds that he had whiped all day, even when he wanted them to rest. Homer is blowing raspberries on a very cute pig's tummy. Thousands of missiles are fired to space from the Earth. And Bart smashes himself against the window of the fast food place where the Flanders are eating, completely naked. This are the most amusing mooments of the movie and, unfortunately, it was all in the preview.

Apart from the mentioned gags, The Simpsons Movie is scarce in the usual humor that fills the episodes of the series. It seems that, being under the pression of having to write a coherent storyline that goes on for almost 90 minutes, and having that story follow a minimum of consistency and development rules, the creators of the most critical with society animation serieshave run out of jokes. And, clearly, if The Simpsons aren't funny they're worth nothing. They're nothing more that silly yellow cartoons with strange hair colour and snouts instead of noses. And that's what the movie is left too every other minute.

The best part: the scene where Bart is skating naked, without his "thing" being seen, because it is always covered by bushes, hoses, cars...

In spite of all this, the audience can't say that it hadn't been warned. Homer already said at the begining of the movie: "I don't understand why we are paying to watch in the theatres what we can see at home for free. And everyone who does it, is a wretch."
