I?m pleased to see that Kelsey Grammer?s on the cast list.

We saw this today and I don't even remember seeing Bob. Grammer's not on the cast list on IMDB, was he even in it?

He was on the cast list back in March when I posted that message, but it transpires that the production team continued to play around with the movie well into 2007, adding new elements while removing others. Bob's appearence, unfortunately, was among the things to be axed. Yeah, I was pretty gutted myself.

I recently saw this movie myself during my cross-Atlantic adventure (now almost at a close), and I have pretty mixed feelings on it. I'll go a bit deeper into my thoughts once I'm back at home with my own trusty PC.

I managed to get out and see the movie this past Thursday, and all in all I was pleased on how well it turned out. It was great that Groening was able to bring back a lot of the writers from the shows glory days, doing so they were able to create the perfect mixture of the story driven episodes from the earlier seasons and the more gag centric episodes from the past few seasons into one easy to view film.

Though I cannot wait for the holiday season for the DVD release, because I can can see them just jam packing the thing with so many extras (Including enough deleted scenes to fill another whole movie.)
