MOVIE REVIEW: Oscar has something for everyone
Al Alexander, Patriot Ledger (Quincy, MA)
If you missed it, here’s your chance to see director David Silverman pack a horde of terrific sight gags, ruthless parody and “The Simpsons’” trademark heart into a 5-minute masterpiece that’s sure to rile tea partiers with the vicious swipes the film takes at their patron saint, Ayn Rand. In it, Marge drops Maggie off for her first day at the prestigious Ayn Rand School for Tots, where children are instantly divided into “gifted” and “average.” Being the daughter of Homer Simpson, Maggie, as you’d expect, is placed with the dregs of human existence, a place where students are constantly reminded they “have no future,” and the favorite plaything is a Raggedy Ayn Rand Doll.
