OK, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way first. Despite its colorful (if crude) animation, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is in no way meant for kids. It is chock full of profanity that might even make Quentin Tarantino blanch and has blasphemous references to God, Satan, Saddam Hussein (who's sleeping with Satan, literally), and Canada. It's rife with scatological humor, suggestive sexual situations, political incorrectness, and gleeful, rampant vulgarity. And it's probably one of the most brilliant satires ever made. The plot: flatulent Canadian gross meisters Terrance and Philip hit the big screen, and the South Park quartet of third graders--Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman--begin repeating their profane one-liners ad infinitum. The parents of South Park, led by Kyle's overbearing mom, form "Mothers Against Canada," blaming their neighbors to the north for their children's corruption and taking Terrance and Philip as war prisoners. It's up to the kids then to rescue their heroes from execution, not mention a brooding Satan, who's planning to take over the world.

To give away any more of the plot would destroy the fun, but this feature-length version of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Comedy Central hit is a dead-on and hilarious send-up of pop culture. And did we mention it's a musical? From the opening production number "Mountain Town" to the cheerful antiprofanity sing-along "It's Easy, MMMKay" to Satan's faux-Disney ballad "Up There," Parker (who wrote or cowrote all the songs) brilliantly shoots down every earnest musical from Beauty and the Beast to Les Misérables. And in advocating free speech and satirizing well-meaning but misguided parental censorship groups (with a special nod to the MPAA), Bigger, Longer & Uncut hits home against adult paranoia and hypocrisy with a vengeance. And the jokes, while indeed vulgar and gross, are hysterical; we can't repeat them here, especially the lyrics to Terrance and Philip's hit song, but you'll be rolling on the floor. Don't worry, though--to paraphrase Cartman, this movie won't warp your fragile little mind. Unless you have something against the First Amendment. --Mark Englehart

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't find it funny, check your pulse, November 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (DVD)

This movie is one of the most revealing of the century. It's ruthless, conniving, sly, smart, irreverent, stupid, and funny as hell. It'll slam your beliefs, way of life, and everything else you hold dear to your heart. That's exactly why you have to love it. You have to respect a movie that can do all of that in an hour and a half. If you want to get one of the best comedic movies of the summer, don't look for American pies or spies who shag people. Look for the movie about 4 demented children and their even more impudent townspeople. It'll be one of the best movies you'll ever see, and I guarantee it WILL PISS YOU OFF. I'm a die-hard South Park fan, and even I was offended by some of the dialouge. But that's exactly what these boys are designed to do, and I love 'em for it. Many people will try to make you believe that South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut just relies on how much shock it can garner from it's audience. Don't fall into that way of thinking: it actually has very touching messages hidden in the sea of profanity and lewdness. And isn't it always more rewarding when you have to find the messages for yourself instead of getting it served to you on a silver platter? Parents, tuck your children in early if you want to watch it. Kids, see it at your friend's house. In my personal opinion, I would nominate this movie for several Oscars: Best Picture of the year, Best musical score in a movie, and Best Director (Trey Parker). Everyone I have ever talked to about this movie say that it's appalling in retrospect. However, they always have to admit: those little guys are funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing., January 25, 2003

By	J. Stevens (El Paso, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Simply amazing. You can say that it is nothing but fart jokes and toilet humor, but it is so obviously much more than that. What Trey Parker and Matt Stone have done is created one of the most thought provoking and clever comedies of all time and the greatest musical of the decade. Not only is it truly hilarious, it is also one of the most controversial movies of all time. It is mocking the hypocrisies of the MPAA and the average American parenting, as well as many other countless subjects. Not that it isn't a bad thing :) I would have rated it the day I saw it, but I decided to look it over more carefully to see all the undertones that it contains. It is also a great musical. With the help of Marc Shaiman, Trey has created greats like "Mountain Town", the infamous "Uncle F**ker", the Oscar-nominated "Blame Canada", the Les Miserables parody "La Resistance Lives On", and the Disney-based "Up There". However, it is definitely not for children and actually holds the world record for the most profanity in an animated movie, with 399 swear words, 221 acts of violence, and 128 offensive gestures. This wanton swearing is objectionable, but that aside, this is one of the greatest movies of all time, and not even the angry parents can deny it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must be seen, December 19, 1999

By	M. Coles (Wirral, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (DVD)

I missed this when it was on the pictures over here in the U.K., so I thought that I'd try the DVD. What a laugh. I've been watching the series from episode one. To be honest, I thought that it was starting to get a bit boring.

This film re-instated my enthusiasm for the whole South Park thing. If you like or have ever have liked the series, then I guarantee that you will love this film.

If you can find humour in foul language, sex, death, pornography and politically incorrect satire, then this fella's for you.

If you don't like South Park or you're easily offended by... Foul language, sex, death, pornography and politically incorrect satire then you would be wise to give it a wide berth.

It's easy. If you like South Park or that kind of humour then you'll absolutely love this film.

If you don't like this kind of stuff, then don't bother, because it will offend you, with ease.
