The Simpsons Movie (2007)

The cult animated TV series gets the big-screen treatment and Homer gets to try and save the world.

Television's most famous animated family get the big screen treatment. 'The Simpsons Movie' was passed 'PG' for mild language, innuendo and comic violence. The film also contains some nudity.

The mild bad language includes 'bastard', 'ass', 'crap', 'screwed-up' and a comic, non-sexual use of 'penis' - all uttered in a comic manner and falling within current BBFC 'PG' guidelines.

The mild sex references and innuendo include implied sexual activity between Homer and Marge (unseen by the audience) and a comic comment on masturbation from Homer, ('More than two shakes and you're playing with yourself'), that is unlikely to be understood by younger viewers.

Young Bart gets up to some nude skateboarding antics in this film. Whilst there are comic comments about his 'doodle' and mention of the word 'penis' during this episode, the accompanying brief nudity is seen in a comic, non-sexual context.

The mild comic violence (including scenes in which Homer is nearly hung by a lynch mob, baby Maggie threatens a monkey with the jagged end of her feeding bottle, and a robot shoots itself in the head) lacks realistic detail or injury, and carries a slapstick quality that will be recognised from the television series, and which fits within the BBFC Guidelines at 'PG' that allow for such details within a comic context.

The film also contains very mild language including uses of 'God', 'Jesus' and 'Christ'. There is also brief sight of minor characters with cigarettes, but smoking is not encouraged or glamorised.

'PG' stands for Parental Guidance. A 'PG' film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.
