Summary: Satirical Masterpiece
Review: No target goes untouched in this comedy. I'm not going to go into too much depth, because I don't want to give anything away, but if you love satire and comedy, this movie will have you laughing even as you gasp in disbelief. Just try not to sing along with "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" C'mon. I dare you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: La Resistance Lives On!
Review: Best Animated R-rated Musical EVER! (not that many in the list, but still... This DVD has it all, the great trailers, all the characters you love, and the musical numbers! I promise that you will be singing along..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funniest movie ever
Review: What can I say that hasn't been said already? "South Park" is hysterical, offensive, full of profanity and great music, and even has a lesson to teach. I loved the hell out of it, and so did my friends. But I think that I should warn others who may not like it. Obviously, if you don't like swear words, don't see it. If you don't like "blasphemous" talk about Satan, don't see it. If you don't like South Park, don't see it. And so on. I'm not so sure how well this movie would play with non-fans of the cartoon series. The characters aren't developed too much, because the movie is really meant for fans of the series, and if you're a fan, you should know the characters. It truly is just a really long episode of the series, and the latest episodes (Like the "Behind the Blow: Terrence and Philip" one) have tied the movie into the series timeline in such a way. So maybe that means something, too... After you see this, you'll probably wonder why the hell Phil Collins got the Academy Award for Best Song. (Sigh)... the Academy just doesn't get it...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: slows down after first half hour, but still hilarious
Review: Highly recommended buy - I watch this over and over. If you like the cartoon, you'll like the movie; what else is there to say about this movie? High praise all around.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Screw You Guys, I'm Going To Watch This Video!
Review: Absolutely the most fun I have ever had in a movie theatre! But with all the indepth reviews, I just thought I would offer two bits of fun trivia.

First, the only thing offensive about the movie was that the MPAA Academy had the gall to nominate "Blame Canada" as Best Song, NOT because they thought it deserved it, but to make their own inside joke to their fellow fogeys the fact that, while management of the Big Studios love to produce films in Canada because of the low Canadian dollar, it was another sad sign that Hollywood executives care more about how much movies cost than what they are. It riled the film unions on both sides of the border.

Second, all I can say is "In your face Jack Valenti and all you old codgers at the MPAA" Board of review! The film was rated 14+ in Canada!One of my favourite movies of all time!!! Shweeeeeeeet!

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: 5 stars
Summary: It's a Musical!
Review: I bought this DVD without ever seeing the film on video or at the movies, so I didn't know what to expect, other than a lot of crude humor that I was pretty sure would be funny. To my surprise, South Park is much more than that. Parker and Stone take aim at two targets in particular - the overinflated Hollywood/Broadway musical numbers (think Academy Awards production numbers) and the MPAA's hypocrisy in rating foul language more harmful to children than extreme violence. The musical numbers are brilliant - highlights include the nonsensical "What Would Brian Boitano Do" and the over the top "Up There" as sung by a lonely, homosexual Satan. All of the old favorites make at least an appearance, and two new characters are especially funny - the effeminate "braniac" Gregory and the battle-scarred "Mole". Make no mistake, the language is foul, and the humor crude, but it took some genuinely talented people to put together a movie this funny on so many different levels. Highly recommended, unless you're not in high school yet - in that case, wait a few years (you'll catch more of the jokes anyway).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Crude, Offensive and Brilliant
Review: "Uh-oh," as the film's tagline puts it, is right!

From the opening song "Mountain Town" to the offensively subversive "Uncle F," Matt Stone and Trey Parker have created a brilliant satire that just so happens to be one of the best musicals in recent memory.

Permenantly skewering the Disney animated films of the 90's early on with one simple song -- the aforementioned "Mountain Town" sounding like the uncut version of "Belle" from "Beauty and the Beast" -- "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" moves on, having bigger fish to fry as it sets its sights on censorship with such targets as the government and the Motion Picture Association of America.

But censorship isn't "South Park's" only targets as its scores direct hits on "Les Miserables," Microsoft chairman Bill Gates and even a jab at Jar Jar Binks from "The Phantom Menace" in an obvious last minute inclusion.

Cartman, Kyle, Stan and the death-prone Kenny make the jump to the big screen as do all the "South Park" gang with Winona Ryder, Saddam Hussein and even Satan coming along for the ride.

As I said earlier, the music and songs are absolutely fantastic (only "What Would Brian Boitano Do" falls short), with personal faves being the Oscar-nominated "Blame Canada," Cartman explaining why "Kile's Mom Is a Big, Fat B" and "Up There," Satan's big, show-stopping ballad which successfully grinds Ariel and her big, show-stopping "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid" into fish food.

At times, the film goes to far (especially in the scenes between Satan and Hussein who has died and gone to Hell only to become Satan's lover!) and you find yourself laughing embaressedly inspite of yourself, but taste is not "South Park's" thing. Stone and Parker are equal opportunity offenders and make a point of stunning and shocking you into paying attention to their message.

If you're looking for a tasteful comedy rent "Emma" or "Sense and Sensability" or something. If you want to laugh yourself silly and don't care how dirty or ashamed you feel about afterwards then "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" is definately the film for you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Perverted, sick and an overall disgrace to everything holy.
Review: This filthy piece of garbage is horrendous. The guys who made it are two true scumbags. How this film passed with an R rating is something I will never understand. It should be rated NC-17. This "movie" makes fun of human beings, animals, God, religion, Jesus...you name it - it's made fun of. This garbage is the embodiment of all cultural evil, and should be banned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "...like a dying giraffe."
Review: ...all i wanted to share is that when my sister or i am down we will always be able to lift each others spirits with a snippet of this fantastically ridiculous musical...that has warped our fragile little minds.
