South Park - Bigger, Longer And Uncut
The now-legendary animated series makes a big-screen splash with a feature-length film that features the same crude animation but now has the license to be as rude as it wants to be. Keep the kids away and enjoy the episode of SOUTH PARK you always hoped you'd see. Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman sneak into the R-rated Terrence and Philip movie, and before you know it, their angry parents have declared a war on Canada. A musical in disguise, the film features many memorable songs as well as a touching relationship between Saddam Hussein and Satan himself. The showstopping tune "Blame Canada!" was nominated for a 1999 Academy Award for Best Song.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone's tasteless animated TV series gets the big-screen treatment in this dark, demented and deliriously funny feature-length tale. Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny go on an outing to see Terrance and Phillip's profanity-laced movie, and their resultant change in vocabulary is the catalyst for an escalating bout of moral-guardian madness, culminating in the outbreak of World War Three (well, America versus Canada). For once, here's a sharp, inventive spin-off of a TV show that doesn't pad its plot and waste its widescreen opportunities. The crude, taboo-assaulting story is enjoyably ambitious and the surprisingly tuneful songs cleverly parody everything from Disney to Les Misérables. This is bad taste at its best.

With humour often as crude as the animation, this is nevertheless a deft and witty demolition of many aspects of modern life, aimed particularly at all those who maintain double standards or tell others what to do and how to behave.

That movie has warped my fragile little mind.
If you're not a fan of non-stop swearing, crude humour, musicals, satire, violence, or just South Park in general then don't watch this. Trey Parker and Matt Stone hold nothing back during this movie. Everything they can't get away with on television they do so with Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. From the intro song (Small Mountain Town) to the money number (Uncle ******, which you will find yourself singing in the shower), this is a musical top to bottom.
The movie kicks off with the kids going to see the Terrance and Phillip movie where they hear so many bad words they become corrupted and begin to use them in their every day lives. Kyle's mum is so outraged by this film that she, along with the rest of South Park, manage to get the United States to go to war with Canada for sending the Terrance and Phillip movie to America. Stan, Kyle, and Cartman form a resistance group to fight their parents and the war.
This movie is so great it's hard not to love it, especially since it made the Book of World Records for 399 swear words and 128 offensive gestures. Parker and Stone out-did themselves with this movie. You'll laugh until you hurt.

Witty and wicked fun
Yes, yes: it's pointless to argue this film isn't rife with grotesque scatological humour and obscenity foul enough to make a sailor blush.
Yet lacing these terrible -- terrible, I say! -- low-brow paeans to the common man is subtle, and acerbically sharp, satire which repeatedly hits the mark. Of course it's offensive to everyone. Jews, whites, blacks, men, women. Even, delightfully, Bill Gates. And rightfully so. But leave it to a film where Satan and Saddam's hedonistic romp above - and below - the sheets threatens the future of mankind, to give us pause.
Considering the time of release and nation of origin, history may mark this film, above all others, as the finest, spot-on lampoon of c.1999, Boom-time America.
The young, idealistic (and deluded) were the ones toiling away to the benefit of a very, very few, and may only now, years later, understand the sad menagerie Big Gay Al so rightfully captured with his celebrious refrain: "I'm so sorry Mr. Cripple/But I just can't feel too bad for you right now/Because I'm feeling/So insanely super/That even the fact that you can't walk/Can't bring me down."
A terrific film of rare construction - the musical numbers, if not a bit farcical, are of the highest quality - it's a treat to feel so abused. -

Puppet sex film censored
- 08 Oct 2004
One of the odder meetings of the Motion Picture Association of America recently had to rule who should be allowed to watch puppet sex. The creators of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut have made their latest foray into the world of film with Team America: World Police. The film sees wooden puppets acting out a high octane plotline and like the South Park movie, it is filled with controversy. But the scene that reportedly caused the censors the biggest headache was where two of the puppets... Read more
