We finally saw the Simpsons Movie the other day. We’d tried to see it once before, but were way early and decided to see the Harry Potter movie instead.

Overall it was a pretty funny movie. I guess what surprised me was the number of kids in the theater. Since it’s been out for a few weeks, the theater wasn’t crowded, but I’d guess at least a third of the people in there were kids under 17. Some of them were even unaccompanied.

This is not a kids’ movie. There are adult themes and some adult language. I’m not sure what folks were thinking when they brought their kids. The TV version isn’t for kids either. Just because something is animated doesn’t mean it’s for kids. Parents who think that need to have a lesson in parenting.
