I suddenly need Jawbone's guidance. The resident forum prude needs to weight on the Bart wang phenomenon.

Yeah, no thanks.
I thought Bart's wank being drawn so silly and unrealistic was the joke itself, in that people will find a way to become offended or scandalized by Bart's yellow non-penis-looking junk. Or maybe a nod to those who were pondering whether or not there would be nudity in it the movie long before it came out. It was ridiculous on purpose, much like all Simpsons humor!

The whole Bart being naked scene was hilarious, so I didn't as "resorting to nudity." I laughed even harder after that shot.

I'm surprised there's such a split on the reception! Ah well, to each his own.

Here's a shot of the offensive penis in question. [/lolspoiler]

for all we know it could be bart giving us the finger upside down, and getting upset about kids seeing that sorta stuff is the same thing as kids watching 50% of the family guy episodes there. if you dont want your kids to see it, dont take em...its not a disney/pixar movie.

i was actually being facetious about the weiner [doodle] gag. i thought it was great. seems on nearly every online forum there's some joker who titles a thread "ZOMG LOOK AT THIS WET PUSSY" but when you click you see nothing but a wet cat. this was kind of like that, but you know, wittier.

i liked the movie, but i feel pretty confident that i got the full experience. i might see it again on dvd, but for now, my simpsons hunger had been sated.

i liked it, it had a very early simpsons feel to it.

Finally got to see it last night. It was good, but the pacing seemed off, and they resorted to too many different camera angles than normal.

The 'controversial' doodle scene was probably one of the funniest in the movie. And it was executed in a completely Simpsonesque manner.

Overall I can't give it more that a C+. The Bart subplot was pretty boring, the Lisa subplot was even more boring, and the movie just didn't visit the shows recurring characters enough (barely, really). Also, they should have addressed the fact that Ahnold was Reiner Wolfcastle with brown hair. It would have been pretty funny to have the characters run into each other and acknowledge the inconsistency (Better yet, they should just have made Wolfcastle president, but whatever).

I thought it was very fuuny. So did my kids (and, no, I do not believe a yellow cartoon penis is going to scar my children for life).
