Review Roundup: The Simpsons, Sunshine
- 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."
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."
