South Park - Bigger, Longer & Uncut

Buy This Item South Park - Bigger, Longer & Uncut by Paramount Pictures  Available from Amazon  $11.99  on 11-2-2008     OK, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way first. Despite its colorful (if crude) animation, <I>South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut</I> 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 <i>meisters</i> 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. <p> 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 <I>Beauty and the Beast</I> to <I>Les Misérables</I>. And in advocating free speech and satirizing well-meaning but misguided parental censorship groups (with a special nod to the MPAA), <I>Bigger, Longer & Uncut</I> 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. <I>--Mark Englehart</I> Reader Reviews 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.
