I watched this last night for the first time in a couple of years and still feel it rises above the tv show.
Even as the series wore on, and with the improvements in animation that came along, this film to me still feels bigger than even the glossiest later episodes (including the Imaginationland trilogy).
Anyone else agree?
EDIT: OK, I just saw the "Mysterion trilogy" and I think it beats it
The Mysterion Trilogy was terrible.
This film trounces over anything in the SP series to date.
M & T should sit down to watch this film so they can see what they did right and why the show is now so wrong.
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is God.
Yep. Season 10 was full of great episodes, but there hasn't been a truly great one since. (Plus some really bad ones)

Definitely. It was an event at the time. It was just so much funnier than even fans of the show expected it to be. The jokes were packed in so tightly and are so across-the-board solid that I still count it among the funniest movies I've ever seen. Matt and Trey (sorry if everyone knows this already) have said that it was doing the movie that made them decide to step up their game with the show and put all their effort into it instead of treating it like a little f#ckoff thing, like they had been doing up until then.
Get on up.
That's what I love about it! It really does feel like a feature length film and something that couldn't have been done in an episode(s) of the show. Unlike The Simpsons Movie while it was funny, didn't have an epic feel to it and really did just feel like 4 episode of the show cut together.
I count six shots.
I count two guns!
It's fantastic, and holds up really well.
It's really well written, with great songs. Hilarious!
