Summary: An insult to all humanity...5 STARS!
Review: This movie is purely outrageous. I have never actually watched the show, so I was thinking that the movie would be terrible, but I was very suprised. First of all, this movie insults every race and lifestyle there is. But it does it in such a hillarious way that it is hard not to bust out laughing. You would think a movie like this is dumb, but it is actually very intelligently written, tackling many political and social issues that face our world today. The movie also tells us not to take all these issues seriously, and laugh about them.

You won't like this movie if you easily insulted, because no matter who you are, this movie WILL poke fun at you. Just relax for 2 hours and enjoy its rudeness.

Highly Reccomended and suprisingly intelligent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the funniest...movie I ever saw!
Review: This is my new favorite movie. It all starts when the 4 kids go into an R-rated movie. They emerge spouting 4lettered words they learned from it. Upon hearing these words from their children, The mothers start a clan to get rid of foul language at the source... Canada. With subplots such as The execution of Terrance & Phillip, Kenny getting burned to death, going to hell, finding Satan and his gay lover, the late Saddam Housein, who are going to rule earth when Canadians Terrance and Phillip's blood touches American soil. Funniest thing youll ever see. Buy it and you'll never go a day without wanting to watch it. Yet I warn you, not for the weak of heart or the easily offended

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Such An Important Message, Such Great Fun
Review: This movie is one of the funniest and yet most poignant movies in recent history. First of all let me mention as some many other people already have. This movie is filled with bad language, sexual innuendos, and plain old grossnes. That being said I'm not sure this is not a movie for kids, I think this movie is great for kids of a certain emotional age since it contains a very important message (of course an adult should be present to answer questions). Censorship is wrong, and the truth is that kids are going to find out about things they are not supposed to no matter what we as adults and chaperones do. The solution is not to shelter them and try to keep them away from all of it the solution is to be loving, caring individuals who can help them deal with all the strangeness and perversity in the world. Okay enough of my soapbox, back to this movie.

This movie is great for many reasons. First of all it predicts its own response. The movie is postmodern in the way it constantly makes innuendos that are references to how people will treat and act on the movie itself. Second the movie is downright funny, many of the jokes are simply scatological and anyone will laugh at them, but the truth is that much of the humor is very intelligent and takes not only a knowledge of our popular culture but a good liberal education in order to understand. I also can not thank of any other movie which was able to parody a movie which had just been released a month before (Star Wars I). Overall this movie is probably the funniest movie of last year, and despite all of its vulgarity should be seen by everyone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I was really waiting for this one, and it didn't really work
Review: I waited for months to get "South Park" on video herein Europe, and I ended up more disappointed than satisfied. Yes, themovie is full of hilarious moments. But I personally got tired of the swearing after about the first 10 minutes and thought that the point had been made. I am not a prude. This was baseball-bat-over-the-head satire about America's infatuation with morality. There is nothing whatsoever sly or suggestive about "South Park", and I know that's the point, but still. There are a few great things in the movie, though -- the way it deals with poor Kenny is brilliant, and the deal with Satan and Sadam Hussein is good for a bunch of chuckles, too. Overall, though, I really was expecting more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "That *&^%#@ movie gets better every time I see it, man!"
Review: This is the hardest I've laughed at a movie I saw in the theater in literally years. I expected it to be pretty good, but it was even better. Though I don't get Comedy Central, I've seen about half the episodes on video and read the scripts for them all, and have always laughed my butt off at the incredible bad taste and Cartman's voice. (it's the WAY he says stuff). And yes, I am a grown woman. It's too bad the idiots at the MPAA wouldn't let them go with the original title, "All Hell Breaks Loose" as it would have been more appropriate to the plot and tone. As I'm sure you've read, Parker and Stone told the MPAA, pretty much as a joke because they never expected them to go for it, to change the title to the present one, and the MPAA didn't get the joke and said it was OK. The songs were great, and didn't slow the movie down as I thought they would. I especially liked, "It's Easy Mmmmkay" and "Uncle F*cka" but my all time favorite number was "Kyle's Mom is a B*tch" as performed by Cartman, this time with a couple of extra languages thrown in. I laughed so hard and loud at this that I had to put my hand over my mouth, because I was actually worried that someone would complain to the usher. And Cartman's one-word reaction (which I can't print here, partially because of the profanity and partly because it will be funnier if you don't know it's coming)at the end of the song when he turns around and sees that Kyle's Mom is actually standing behind him and has heard the last verse is one of the single funniest moments in cinema history for me. So besides the movie being hilarious, it's actually well thought-out (I thought) and had care put into it. Man, would I love to see the parts they cut out, considering the stuff they got away with! My only complaint was that it was too short, and that the insane school bus driver was not in it-I missed her. I also was grateful my least favorite South Park character, Mr. Hankey, did not make an appearance. I can't say enough good things about this movie, or describe how funny it is--you have to see it to believe it. Unless you're Mr or Ms P.C. in which case stay away--though who knows, even people who need to lighten up might find themselves hating themselves for laughing at this movie. I give it 10 out of 10 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even Funnier as a Movie Than as a TV Show!
Review: I knew when I went to go see this in the theater that it would be funny, but I was unprepared for just HOW funny!

There are obvious laughs, and subtle inside jokes that keep you in stitches! I liked this movie so much, I bought the video and lent it to everyone I could think of. No one thought it was stupid.

I especially enjoyed the spoof of Les Mis. The songs were great (who knew they could write songs and sing them reasonably on-key?) and the soundtrack is good too (but not as good as the movie!)

This movie is for anyone who wants to laugh for a few hours, but is not easily offended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sheer Genius
Review: This deserves to be in the top ten of AFI's funniest movies, alongside "Dr. Strangelove" and "Blazing Saddles." And to think it's disguised as a kiddy cartoon!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An outrageous musical
Review: I've never laughed so hard in a film before. The first 30minutes just kill me. The "Uncle..." song is just soaudacious that you die laughing. After the first opening scenes though the movie isn't as funny but still outrageous. I'll buy the DVD for the song alone. END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gut-wrenching laughter will double you over
Review: I was amazed that this film got away with an 'R' rating, but it was still a hoot. During the first 30 minutes of the film, I almost couldn't breathe due to the non-stop laughter.

This film is not for the faint of heart and it is NOT for children. There is nothing in this film that is appropriate for children to see or hear. I was not happy that the film makers toned down this movie just enough to get an R rating. NC-17 would not have deterred adults from seeing this film, so film makers were definitely targeting the 17-and-under audience for revenue. Some of the film went a bit too far... even for South Park and the gut-wrenching humor slided into moderate chuckles after the first 30 minutes. The last half (and more) of the film was not of the same caliber as the first half.

One of the songs, "Blame Canada," was nominated for an Oscar and the film is full of hilarious, original songs. The CD of the Soundtrack is also hilarious, but not for young listeners.

This is a must-see for fans of Robert Smigel and Mike Judge (and other twisted animators), but not a good gift idea for Sunday School Teachers, your pastor or your kids. Things that are normally bleeped out during the tv-show are not only not bleeped out in the movie... but the movie pushes the envelope a bit too far as to what constitutes adult material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blame Canada!
Review: Hilarious and Satan sings a mean ballad. You don't know what laughter means until you see Satan reading "Satan is from Mars, Saddam is from Venus" to try and repair his relationship with the mustached one. And, of course, long live the resistance. The take off on Les Miserables is great. Of course this movie isn't for kids and probably not for humorless fundamentalist Christians, either. But it's the best satire I have seen in a LONG time and it made me laugh until tears were pouring down my cheeks.
