    Southpark the movie starts off really well, in fact the song 'Uncle Fucker' is hilarious and one of the reasons I?ve given the film a good rating. It's just a shame that it goes downhill from there, with only Kenny's song picking it up towards the end.

    Excellent movie of the brilliant series. Its really sharp and very very verbal unlike the TV counterpart. It looks good, the animation has computer help here n there which really adds to the effects. The story is actually not too bad but its not great, but its so funny and has to...( read more)nnes of totally un-pc jokes, comments and crude gags you just cant not like it lol it surpasses The Simpsons by miles as its for true adults. As usual Cartman is the star.

    Satan: "How come you always want to make love to me from behind? Is it because you want to pretend I'm somebody else?
    Saddam Hussein: Satan, your ass is gigantic and red. Who am I going to pretend you are, Liza Minelli?"


    Southpark is a quiet and peaceful place until the la...( read more)test Terrance and Philip movie comes out. Once all the kids see it, all hell breaks loose, as the parents try to find a way to stop their kids from saying all the naughty words coming out of their mouths. The parents blame Terrance and Philip, place them under Citizen's Arrest, and declare war on their home country, Canada. It is up to the kids to save the world from Satan and keep Terrance and Philip from being executed. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut actually took the show's shtick to a new and even more perverse level. The result is a movie that, under its potty-mouth exterior, satirizes America's penchant for taking blame away from the individual and putting it onto the most readily available media target. Probably one of the best things about Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is its hilarious and diverse array of songs, besides classic South Park medleys "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" and Cartman's "Kyle's Mom is a Bitch," there are new ones like "Blame Canada" and "Up There," Satan's hilarious solo. The animation is still laughably poor, and much of the humor is still dredged from the gutter. There's lots of profanity, farts, more than a few dick jokes, and enough insensitive sexual and ethnic cracks to go around.

    "But this is going to be the best movie ever! It's a foreign film from Canada."

    When "The Simpsons" premièred in 1989 with its Christmas special, it was shocking to hear Bart say "hell." After all, it was a cartoon, and it was unheard of to hear that word in a cartoon. T...( read more)he next day in school, everyone was talking about it. "Did you watch The Simpsons last night? Bart said "hell." Nowadays, you hear lots of words in cartoons that you wouldn't have heard on TV cartoons 10 years ago. It's a sign of the times.

    Of course, swearing and animation isn't a new concept. In the '60s and '70s, Ralph Bakshi made films like Heavy Traffic and Streetfight, which were animated films aimed at adults that dealt with issues such as living in tough neighbourhoods. They had their share of swearing. But none of those comes even close to South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, a film version of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's hit TV series that contains a constant stream of profanity to keep the ears of the audience perked up.

    The film begins with the four South Park pals (Stan, Eric, Kyle and Kenny) going to see the newest Terrence and Philip film, called "Asses of Fire". They have trouble getting in, because of their age, so they get a homeless man to act as their guardian. Once the film begins, it immediately begins to shout out obscenities and scares off much of the audience. The boys don't mind, and they just eat it all up.

    The film within the film teaches the boys to swear, and when they go back to school, they demonstrate their new-found skills in class, which gets them sent to the principal's office. At this point, even I was shocked by the content. I've always admired a certain percentage of American comedians (of which Parker and Stone are part of) for their courage. No where else in the world you find people so comfortable making fun of their own country. Sometimes I wonder what kind of person would I be if I was born there. Probably one of those citizens accused of being "Anti-American" who end up living somewhere else. But not those guys: they stick around using their work to try to change things and making a whole lot of people uncomfortable. They're awesome.

    Anyway, not long into the film, Kenny is killed - which isn't a novelty for those familiar with the show - and goes to Hell (after being teased about getting into Heaven) and meets Satan, who is in a gay relationship with Saddam Hussein. The Hussein character gets some of the biggest laughs in the film. The "Asses of Fire" film, which is Canadian, draws heat from the U.S., which believes that the film is corrupting America's youth. It doesn't take long for a war to start between the two countries and people starting to burn flags and boycotting all things Canadian, including Celine Dion.

    This is a relentlessly vulgar film. The wonderful thing, however, is that not once in the entire film have I ever had the impact of the words lost on me. 'Fuck', whether you find it offensive or not, is a powerful word, and the South Park boys manage to make every instance of its use pack that punch. It's a questionable gift, sure, but Parker and Stone have it. The songs - including the Oscar-nominated one "Blade Canada" - are actually pretty well-written, with some decent tunes, but most of all, they're damn funny. This is South Park through and through, with added foulness, so it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely for anybody who likes relentless crudity.

    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is shockingly funny from beginning to end. It tries anything for a laugh, and it often succeeds. Many of the elements covered in the film also apply to the film itself. It's like Parker and Stone knew exactly what kind of reception their film would receive, and decided to reflect that in it. It will offend a lot of people. There were parts that I didn't care for, but I think the hidden message is that if people make a big fuss over what should be allowed in a film, then all people will do is fight over it. However, if people lighten up a little, then everyone can rest easy. And have a blast while at it.

    Absolutely hilarious.

    Smart and hilarious with a message. An instant classic with catchy songs and filthy language.
  • October 27, 2009
    Such a nostalgic film for me. It was the first R-rated film I ever saw in theaters. Watching it today, I still can't believe how amazing it is and how well it holds up!
  • October 26, 2009
    I've been watching "South Park" recently, so I was well tuned in for the movie.

    The only negative thing I have to say is that there was too much singing going on. Very few of the songs were actually cool, fun, and memorable. The rest were... well, not for me.

    The struc...( read more)ture and plot were just like from a half-hour TV episode. The language was uncensored - and in the spotlight since the plot revolved around the issues of bad language. Terrance and Phillip in their new groundbreaking movie - which in the end caused a war between USA and Canada.

    One of the funniest things was the relationship of Satan and Saddam Hussein; delightfully gay, dra-matic, but they kind of ruined it near the end.

    All in all this movie was just like "South Park", only longer and dirtier. A must-see for any fan of the show - and those who enjoy dirty, edgy comedy!

    Still remember seeing it in the theater and crying I laughed so hard.

    Trey Parker and Matt Stone's sick, twisted, crude, stunningly profane and occasionally hilarious adult cartoon TV series has come to the big screen in a big way, and the results are often very, very funny. Kyle, Stan, Eric Cartman and Kenny (all voiced by creators/writers/directo...( read more)rs Trey Parker and Matt Stone) are four impressionable youngsters living in South Park, Colorado, a consistently snow-capped town on the outskirts of the Rocky Mountains where nothing much happens, but lots of issues get skewered with crude, profane and often hilarious satire on an almost weekly basis - one episode of the TV series might go from fart jokes to making fun of the President, the economy or TV bureaucracy. The plot in this case kicks off when the new film "Asses of Fire" comes to South Park. The film is the first feature of the boys' Canadian heroes, Terrance & Phillip (also voiced by Parker & Stone), two foul-mouthed guys who spend virtually 3 hours sitting on a couch, farting in each others' faces, and spouting an astonishing array of vulgarity the likes of which not even our young protagonists have ever heard. They get in trouble when they begin copying the movie's profanity, and soon their mothers are on a headstrong march to pressure the United States government into declaring war on Canada. Meanwhile, Satan and his gay lover Saddam Hussein (it may surprise you who is the "bottom" in the relationship) are stewing in Hell, awaiting the day when the blood of Terrance and Phillip spilling on American soil will bring Satan back to earth (yes). The boys, however, form an underground resistance movement colorfully titled "La Resistance" and plan to save Terrance and Phillip from a public execution. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who created the TV program on which this film is based, have co-written and directed a very silly, sometimes surreal, and often very funny satire of close-minded societies in which the advocacy of censorship can lead to bigotry and, in this case, war. A confession: I am not a huge fan of the "South Park" TV series. That being said, it can be funny and so is this film - for the most part. The film's music, by Marc Shaiman, is very good - including several musical numbers such as the hilarious and surreal "What Would Brian Boitano Do?," the catchy and profane "Uncle F---a," Big Gay Al's U.S.O. performance for the troops "I'm Super," and (the Oscar-nominated) "Blame Canada." The film has a tiny bit of a good message somewhere among the excess about censorship and tolerance, I think, and as such, it's pretty effective. If an R-rated, 82-minute episode sounds like your cup of tea, you'll probably be as or more likely to enjoy this.

    NOTE: The film was Oscar-nominated for Best Song ("Blame Canada"). Curiously, Isaac Hayes appears here as Chef (reprising his series role) and yet, as the only musically-talented cast member, he doesn't perform a song!

Rude, but inspired. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The year's most slashing political commentary is not in the new films by Oliver Stone, David Lynch or John Sayles, but in an animated comedy about obscenity. full review

Parker and Stone are madly inventive when it comes to details. full review

It's without any redeeming social value whatsoever. And it's funny from beginning to end. full review
