OK, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way first. Despite its colourful (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 humour, 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 neighbours 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 anti-profanity sing-along "It's Easy, MMM Kay" 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 satirising 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

Synopsis

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.

Greatest Musical Ever!
Review date: 2008-05-09 Rating: 8 out of 10

This is not just a long episode. Once you get past that it is easy to enjoy. It is primarily a musical and a very good one at that. It is very very purile. The swearing is more or less non stop and there isn't much of the cutting satire you get in the TV series. However the songs are hilarious and after watching it a couple of times you'll be humming them wherever you go. If anything the film is let down by the bits that aren't song. There are few times when you'll laugh at the dialogue.
In fact I'm going to recommend you buy the sound track instead.

Still making me laugh...... Years on!!

What can I say..... this film is absolute genius!! From the opening scene, right through to the end of the film it's a non stop barrel of laughs. I was never really a fan of South Park the series, but this film is just fabulous.

If you're after a nice family movie, this isn't the one for you. But if like me you enjoy satirical humour, gross jokes and foul language this is definitely the film for you.

I dare anyone to watch this film and not laugh..... I say it's impossible!!

To all those who dislike it...

I read someone's comment towards this movie after they rated it with just 1 star (this person was anonymous). It is perfectly fine to rate with as many stars as you wish, as that is what this service is for. But you cannot be hypocritical in saying you used to like South Park before this movie! I'm sorry but i do not think it is possible to like south park and then hate it after seeing the movie. The movie is as south park as the episodes but better, with a storyline that all south-park lovers have enjoyed - so, either you've clearly never liked south park. or you're saddam hussein relative!

Great Film. Must be watched to believed.

The first opening number you hear to this film makes you instantly suspicious. You see that it's so simple that you honestly suspect something randomly is going to happen half way through the song; but the song ends and what follows on in one of the greatest songs ever. Sung by Terrence and Phillip (Canadian actors) this song got the world record for the most swear words in one song (mainly being the F word). After this comes a film with pure hilarity, by far one of Kenny's greatest deaths and has as much gore and randomness as any other South Park episode only longer and told like a musical.

The only reason it loses one star is due to the lack od DVD extras. After playing the movie to death and wanting more out of the DVD I don't really care much for trailers of the film. And the only thing besides that is a music video for the song 'What would Brian Boitano do?' (I don't know who he is) and thats ashame because the movies great.

Well there's not much else to say besides buy it if you want to laugh yourself silly and end up humming the tunes everywhere for weeks.

P.S people who have watched the film already will react to your humming in two ways:

1. Start laughing and having a complete singalong with you for the rest of the day

2. Will be irritated at the very sight of you and start torturing you with a giant pile of chicken wings.
