This crossover with the critic is another of my favorite episodes, i have watched so many times this. They joke at every movie genre, and do it funny.is one of the best episodes.
Springfield hosts a film festival and several residents submit an entry.
This is a very funny episode that uses various characters well.
I think the humour is consistently strong. I couldn't care less about the plugging of 'The Critic' as the character Jay Sherman makes a great contribution to the episode and Jon Lovitz is excellent as always.
Several characters have great moments such as Homer, Mr Burns, Barney, McBain and the Flanders'.
I love the design of Barney's film and all the other movie references. Barney's response to receiving the festival prize is a classic line and Homer's obsession with Football In The Groin is a good recurring joke.

When Springfield becomes a laughing stock, Marge proposes a film festival. They also invite a film critic from New York. The amateur films are hilarious. Burns, of course, uses his power, but the dominant theme is "man gets hit in groin with football." There is also a subplot with Bart getting caught up in the world of ballet. The lines of the school bullies are pretty good.

- Quotes
Mr. Burns: OK, Spielbergo, I want you to do for me what Spielberg did for Oskar Schindler.
Sr. Spielbergo: Schindler es muy bueno, Senor Burns es el diablo.
Mr. Burns: Pish posh! Listen, Spielbergo, Schindler and I are like peas in a pod! We're both factory owners, we both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, damn it!
