Many have considered it to be one of the best films of 2011. It grossed over $334 million worldwide against a budget of $70 million.

Plot
In the Simpsons universe, Homer tells Lisa that the family will plan a vacation to Hawaii tomorrow, but Lisa implores him to let her stay, to which he unwillingly agrees. The next day, as the rest of the family drives off to the airport, Lisa, now alone, does various activities around the house when a vortex suddenly appears, where she gets sucked into it. She ends up in the city of Springfield, Missouri in the real world, where she meets Brad Pitt, an actor whom they decide to hang out with each other.
