Summary: Cannibal! The Musical: Best Director's Track Ever
Review: The movie itself is a great bit of inspired gross lunacy that you'd probably expect from the South Park team (Parker and Stone). It's a homage to the old Hollywood movie musicals like Oklahoma, but it's about a true story of cannibalism in Colorado Territory before it became a state. You wil not be disappointed: the movie is a hoot, and the songs are terrifyingly catchy. But the DVD special features are extraordinary, and the director's commentary audio track is worth the price of the disc alone. Parker gets together with Stone and many other stars of the movie, they announce their intention to drink heavily during their commentary, and proceed to do just that. A constant stream of hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes, the complete low-down on Lianne (the girl who broke Parker's heart and inspired a lot of the movie's content), and a lot of jovial abuse of the movie itself (they cheerfully admit they were 22 and didn't know what they were doing half the time). The banter among the commentators is lightning fast, uniformly profane, and unbelievably funny. I wanted to split a bottle of whiskey with these guys before I heard the director's commentary, and now I have to at least once before I die. The cast and Troma should be proud: this is what all DVDs with Special Features should aspire to. I can only hope that Parker stages a similar event for the as-yet-unavailable Orgazmo disc (when, Trey, when?).

Summary: Shapadoinkle!
Review: Okahoma!eat your heart out,here comes a musical with more bite..um cannibalism based on the legend of Alferd Packer the infamous Co,cannibal the only man in US history that was ever convicted of cannibalism.I'm a huge fan of Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Dian Bachar, Jason McHugh, and Toddy Walters and the zany crew they work with. This movie has to be one of the greatist horror/musicals of all time the songs are so catchy that you'll be dancing right out of your seats! And the movie is falling down funny with the jokes like you use to hear in high school to the Monty Phyhon references. This movie is HIGHLY recomended if you're a South Park, Matt & Trey or a Troma fan and I can't wait til the DVD comes out! "The sky is blue and all of the leaves are green the sun's is as warm as a baked potato I think I know preciely what I mean when I say it's a Shapadoinkle Day!~Alferd Packer(Trey Parker)

Summary: South Park fans will not be dissapointed.
Review: I hate musicals. I can never stand the singing for some reason. But Cannibal! The Musical is intentionally cheesy which makes it amazing. This is Trey Parker's first movie he did when he was 21 in college recreates the true story about Alfred Packer, the first man to ever be accused of cannibalism. He goes on a journey for gold with a couple other guys (South Park co-creator Matt Stone is one of them) and they get lost. Lots of stupid stuff happens especially how the one dude started going crazy and tried building snow men. There's a good amount of gore too to make the movie even more hilarious. The first scene shows Trey killing off everyone with his bare hands, which he allegdly did. Then there's the one part of the movie where a guy gets stabbed a bunch of times in the face! The funny thing about this film is it also relfects on Trey Parker's real life. In the movie, his horse, Leanne, that he loved so much, leaves him. Just like how in real life Trey's fiance, Leanne, left him. The ironic thing about Trey's ex-fiance though was that she even did the corepgraphy for one part of the movie. You'll get a lot of interesting info from the "liquored up" director's commentary. Another interesting fact: There's some Japanes Indians in the film and the chief is some guy that owns a Sushi Bar in Colorado in real life. If you love South Park, this is a mandatory watch. Without this movie, I don't think South Park would be what it is as you know it today. You'll hear Mr. Garrison and Cartman's voice in the movie for a couple seconds, their first appearances I think. And the main theme song of this movie is the same song used at the end credits of each episode of South Park, when they show that airplane thing fly by. This is a cult classic, I watched it like ten times in a week because I watned to hear the music and see the gory parts again. There's also a nice love story so it's not all just about outrageuos humor. One of the better Troma releases too. Troma is known for a lot of God-awful movies.

Summary: Funniest thing since Mel Brooks stopped being funny
Review: Cannibal is honestly the best comedy I have seen since Mel Brooks lost the touch and Monty Python stopped making movies. The fact that it is a low budget film helps rather than hinders. For those of you who think cartoons are the only thing Trey Parker and Matt Stone are capable of, take a good long look. Trey Parker has musical talents that could make Eric Idle blush with envy and every tune helps the movie along. Watch for Matt as the loveable, yet annoying, Humphreys. Also appearing is Dian Bachar of BASEketball fame. A small guy with a ton of talent. Based on the tale of Colorados only convicted cannibal, Cannibal The Musical puts a very humorous and humane face to the story. Was Alfred Packer a killer or just a man placed in a horrible situation trying his best to survive? Adding to the struggle is the loss of his best girl, his horse Leiann. Never before has the world seen such a touching love story about a man and his horse. Filmed on location in Colorado the film shows the tremendous effort this band of college film students put into this project. Ignoring injuries, cold temperatures and rapid running waters they do more than any high paid actor would ever attempt. Well worth the price and deserving of every star. END

Summary: it made me hurt
Review: This has to be one of the most hysterical movies I've seen in a long time. Trey Parker and Matt Stone filmed this one during one of their Spring Breaks while they were still in college. It's loosely based on a true story of a man tried and convicted of murdering and eating his counterparts on the way through the Rockies. The acting is terrible. The cinematography stinks. The beginning credits take a year to get through. It's so bad it's good. Troma was smart to snatch up this gem. The extra stuff on the DVD is FANTASTIC. The commentary is worth the price of the disc alone. You watch the move, then watch with the commentary. I laughed just as hard (if not harder) through the comments as I did through the movie itself. The original songs are catchy, witty, and all written by Trey and performed by the cast (for the most part). You'll end up singing/humming them for days after you watch it. I have been for months, now. I made a friend of mine sit down and watch it with me for the first time. She's not the type to like Trey and Matt's humor - she went home (Australia) and bought the sound track. "I think I know precisely what I mean, when I say, 'It's a shpadoinkle day!'"

Summary: Dumb..... in a really, really good way
Review: This movie is stupid. It is also one of the funniest dang DVDs you'll ever buy. One man's "stupid" is another man's comic genius! So call it what you want, but you'll luagh your butt off. The songs are lively, fun and catchy, and Parker's trademark dry humor is dished out in generous doses in scene after hilarious scene.
And then you get to the commentary track. Rather than the pompous comments and (...) you get with other filmmaker's commentaries, here you get to listen as Parker, Stone, and various other cast members promptly get drunk and tell silly anecdotes, make fun of each other, and alternately praise/insult their former co-stars and crew.
Have fun! "Let's build a snowman..." P.S. Minor quibble: Alfred Packer was NOT "the only man ever convicted of cannibalism". He was convicted of manslaughter. There was (is?) no law against cannibalism.

Summary: You have to be really smart to be this dumb.
Review: Trey Parker takes the milk-toast, wholesome feel of an Oklahoma-style Musical and, with a nudge and a wink, uses this format to tell the true story of starvation, murder, and CANNABALISM on the old frontier. The result is insanely funny. The music is dead-on. Parker is a damned good commercial composer/musical satirist. His uncanny ability to nail any style and then accentuate certain aspects and mock that style is featured in this movie, as well as his Southpark series, and most convincingly, in "Southpark: Bigger Longer and Uncut." But let me tell you: these songs are really funny. The Trappers song always has me gasping for air. "Let's Build a Snowman," is one of the funniest moments in any movie that I can recall. Several of the scenes in this movie are of the "so funny it hurts" variety. The funniest scene in the movie is also the goriest. I have never seen gore and humor come together like this. You should know which scene I am talking about and I don't want to spoil it. This scene is Monty Python-at-its-best-funny and that my friends, is really friggin funny.

Summary: how did he make that tapping noise?
Review: There is only one word to use when explaining this film.....GENIUS. The music is inspired and i feel that the indian chief (who played g-fresh in orgazmo) was the badest mofo i dun laid my eyes on. Also you can`t help but dance along to the trappers song- they are...as hard as nails! When the film does reach the saddest moment, when alfred is about to get hung, and the song "hang the bastard, hang him high" is being sung, my spirit was highly raised to the introduction of the cow bell solo!- inspired. And rest assured that when i am next in snowy conditions and decide to make myself a frosty friend, it shall be to the awfly encouraging "lets build a snowman" Swann, you legend!

Summary: oh my!
