Featured review
This is where it starts to go downhill.
I have thoroughly and precisely looked at the simpsons as a series in order. I did so to see where the series started to go downhill. I have found that this is the episode where things start to get really bad. This is the first awful episode in my opinion, and also the plot of this episode is often repeated in future episodes.
Basically Homer accidentally stumbles upon a hidden house belonging to Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin. He agrees to keep their hide out a secret and also does some errands for them. However soon he can not help but brag to his friends about them.
Basically too much of the episode is a completely un real plot. Before this episode the simpsons would do things that seemed somewhat realistic. But in this one Homer is hanging out with celebrities that nobody can relate to. I do not have a problem with celebrities appearing in the simpsons but in this one they are too important and also do not make the episode better. So I guess my main complaint is that there are too many celebrities in this film for too much and that it is a unreal plot that most people can not relate too. Also it is not funny. And the ending is lame, that also gets repeated in future episodes.
This is where the series gradually gets worse. A bad episode I do not recommend.
