The Simpsons Movie

• Levy (O): "....a legitimately entertaining film. It never truly sparkles or shines, but it barely ever plods or frustrates."
  
  
• Caraeff (Merc): "...while it's not horrible by any means, it's far from the quality of the landmark early years of the series."
  
  
• Arnold (P-I): "As much as I enjoyed the movie -- and I laughed all the way through it -- the truth is that the big screen adds nothing special to the "Simpsons" experience."

Bottom line: Funny enough, but there's nothing here to justify making a feature-length movie.

Sunshine

• Rockoff (WW): "Among all this reverence, you keep waiting for something really dramatic to happen...."
  
  
• Russell (O): "...metaphysical questions the movie was raising are kind of lost in a goofy stew of monster-movie action...."
  
  
• Henricksen (Merc): "For a weird spell in the third act, Boyle decides to try out his skills as a horror director—briefly but effectively morphing Sunshine from a smart sci-fi thriller into a dumb teen slasher flick."

Bottom line: 3/4ths of a decent sci-fi flick, marred by an incongruous final act.
