Two Very Different Must-See Movies of the Summer

The Verdict on 'The Simpsons Movie': With decades of episodes, hundreds of characters, and millions of dedicated fans, The Simpsons Movie had some of the highest expectations to meet this summer, and it successfully met those expectations. The jokes, expectedly ranging from the more topical to the more goofy, are as laugh-inducing as your average Simpsons episode. Dare I say it's the funniest movie of the summer? I dare!

The Verdict on 'Sicko': A gut-wrenching, dramatic documentary tasked with putting a human face on the categorically broken American health care system. Moore follows a film making recipe we've come to (happily) expect from him: take one controversial topic, combine it with the hard facts, mix in a measure of tragic real-life accounts, add a pinch of light humor and...BINGO! You end up with a documentary so compelling you'll want to both lend a helping hand to your neighbor and march on Washington D.C. as the credits begin to roll.

The Grade:
Simpsons, A-
Sicko, A
