Summary: FUNNY AS HELL!!!
Review: This movie is a lot like the tv show except raunchier, If you do not like the shwo you'll hate this. The whole movie is about banning a Terrence & Philip movie for being too "crude" when in reality that's the main reason for this movie's existence, to pretty much give the finger to censorship. If you don't mind very raunchy and crude humor then get this!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A++ movie, period.
Review: This movie is outstanding. I am not a major fan of South Park, but I enjoyed the movie. When many hear "South Park" in the title, they think it is trash, but it is exactly opposite. The songs are awesome and the satire is outrageous! If you like a good movie, see this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fuh-nee!
Review: I am a huge fan of the show, & so I was worried when I heard there would be a movie. That is always the worst thing to do. But this movie was very intelligent, with commentary on politics, religion, & the MPAA. If you're a fan of the show, you'll love this movie, but I think even a few non-fan's are going to like this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: South Park was the BEST movie of the summer!!!
Review: South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut was the smartest, funniest movie of the summer of 1999. It was by far the most political film I've seen in years. Oliver Stone has nothing on Matt and Trey. If you haven't seen this film you don't know what you're missing. Much funnier than American Pie, this movie will also make you think. It is the best satire to come out in years. Most people missed the political statement the movie was making because of the "harsh language," but the language was the statement. I can't wait for this DVD to come out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: This is a must have for any fan of the TV series, but surprisingly it is a really good movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The funniest movie I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Sure it's a little raunchy, crude and a little sick, but I'm sure you will die laughing. The gags and inside jokes are just a taste of what you will get from this movie. I'm 22 years old and some of the stuff in this movie really shocked me. Matt and Trey are just pure creative wonders. I mean how do they come up with this stuff? If you thought "Something about Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber" were a little sick, just wait until you pop this movie into your DVD or VHS. Prepare to be dramatized!!!!!! I do not recommend this movie for anyone under the age of 18, although the majority that will watch this movie will be under this age. Anyways, enjoy the movie and I'll just hope that Matt and Trey produce another fantastic movie like this in the near future!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely superb comedy-musical!
Review: Being a big fan of the show, I expected a lot from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Trey Parker and Matt Stone certainly know what they're doing with the show and I wanted to see their talents on the silver screen. Boy, they impressed me! This comically ingenious film is dead-on fabulous. The hilarious story and endlessly entertaining gags will stick in your head long after the final reel. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is certainly not for everyone but all the viewers who are prepared to watch a brilliant animated film that makes fun of Canadians, animals, Satan, Brooke Shields and even the President, get your popcorn a-boilin' because this movie is just for you. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut dares to go places no other movie has gone before and succeeds in jokes and subtlety out of those areas. What really gives South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut the injection of amazement is its full-bodied characters. Kenny, Cartman, Stan and Kyle and all the other characters (there are so many I can't name all my favourites) are frankly unforgettable and you'll be quoting their memorable lines to your friends at the pub, your worst enemies and hopefully not your grandmother.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great cartoon.. yet anti christian
Review: First off, i love south park. I love Terrence and Phillip's inmature fart jokes, cartmans loud mouth, how kenny dies in the movie, and how the usa goes to war with canada. But i hate how they make fun of christianity. It is morally wrong and as funny as the creators re, if they do not ask for forgivness, they will rot in hell. Then they will see how funny it is. If they stopped being anti christian, then more people would like it. That is why i am sticking with the simpsons, even though it has a little anti christianity in it. If south park changed there ways, it would be the best show and movie ever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie, fair DVD
Review: When I saw South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut in the theatres, I was impressed. While the usual graphics are admittedly crude, and expletives free and easy, the plot was clever and, like the series, the writers stretched the line of good taste past the critical point, but not too far that I was personally uncomfortable. Kenny's role in the movie is hysterical, as is the subversive relationship between Satan and Saddam Hussin. The movies largest asset is its post modern self awareness; in many respects this movie is about its own struggles to be produced and released despite criticism about its content from outside groups; the issues of free speech that it brings out are important, and the usual South Park fans will be amenable to that message.

About the DVD, however, I was a little disappointed. The only extras were the (horribly funny) trailers, and the only dubbed language is French (although it is funny to watch it in French with English subtitles). I wanted a little more bang for my buck - at least the making of South Park, or an interview with Terrance and Phillip. Instead, all I got was a great movie, and the "Uncle *****" song small screen - that is the usual stomping ground for the kids anyway, right? If you are any kind of South Park fan, this should be on your shelf.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Caustically funny, eh?
Review: Probably not for kids, nor for the pathologically self-righteous, I highly recommend "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut." Although laudable for its "message" against censorship, and for criticizing parents who expect other institutions (the "film industry," the schools, etc.) to act in loco parentis, I doubt that very many went to this movie for that reason. I know I went simply to see the "scamps" in action on the large screen.

Because I did not expect it, the film's musical format surprised me initially. However, I got used to it, and ended up enjoying most of the songs. (As a side note, some of the songs inexplicably disappeared for the soundtrack CD, making way for ho-hum reinterpretations by other contemporary musical artists.) As a fan of classical and opera, I appreciated the nods to Copland in "Uncle F**ka," the bacchanale from Saint-Saens' "Samson et Delilah" in Saddam Hussein's love song to Satan, and the allusions to Wagner's old warhorse "Ride of the Valkyries" during the Canadian Air Force attack on the Baldwin brothers.

As another shock, we actually get to hear the "scamps" say what we knew they were saying on the TV show, but obfuscated by bleeps. Like what happened with the big censorship deal involving this movie, life imitates art here. It was strange to finally hear the boys actually speak the forbidden words and phrases, treating them like sacred incantations upon hearing them in the Terrance and Phillip movie. But like the musical format, I also got used to the lack of censorious bleeps.

Not so surprising in this movie was the acerbic and absurdist humor endemic to "South Park." It's done on a much grander scale, with more license than television would dare allow, with the end result being quite effective. I laughed so hard I nearly dry-heaved during some parts, including Terrance and Phillip's "Uncle F**ka"; Cartman's ode to Kyle's mother; the sex-obsessed Saddam Hussein's relentless pursuit of a sensitive Satan; and the WWII-like anti-Canada propaganda film (sponsored by Snacky Smores!). But there are too many to mention!

To those who have qualms about "South Park," whether based on heresay or the superficial belief that it's an excuse for "toilet humor," try to set them aside and judge this movie based upon other merits. Fans of "South Park" don't obsess on toilet humor (which would get real dull real fast), so why should its detractors?
