Summary: As anti-PC as it gets
Review: This movie is about as anti-Politically Correct as it can get. It parodies and inflicts damage on every sacred horse the writers had time for. It's so funny I saw it three times in the theaters and then bought the DVD, which is pretty well done. The only flaw I found with this DVD is that, while it starts up with the menu, which is good, it requires you to go through legal notices in two or three languages first. Once you're through those, though, the DVD allows you to select chapters and contains the trailers. No commentary here, so don't look for it. Also, no "making of", but honestly I don't miss that with this movie.In only one sense is this movie serious: it's a strong voice in favor of Free Speech. It says that many times in different ways. I think Voltaire would appreciate this film.

Summary: A little low brow, but funny just the same!
Review: If you have seen South Park on the T.V. you no doubt are familiar with its brand of low brow humor. The film is a bit more of the same but this time, its bigger, louder and or course, uncut. These kids are every mothers nightmare, and this film alows them to get it all off thier chest. The film does point to some rather amusing subject matter though. It points out the common nature of violence in the media and how a sware word should be far less offensive but, somehow is not? You just have to see this one to belive it, but its not for the little kiddies though... Everyone else, enjoy, South Park is truley a riot.

Summary: One of the best animated films ever made.
Review: If you have not heard of South Park, you must be from another planet. Cartman, Kyle, Kenny and Stan are the coolest dudes around on TV and now on the big screen! Well, I suppose the boys have gone just a little bit too far this time. When they saw the full-of-swearing Terrane and Philip movie, they become bad-mouthed boys and cause a war! Uh-oh is right indeed. If you are regilous or Canadian and you are sensitive to your feelings, don't see this! But anynother people out there who are looking for a cool, hilarious and unforgettable animated feature film, see this by all means!

Summary: Adjectives, I need adjectives... someone get me a thesaurus!
Review: Apart from being a vehicle to bring the South Park kids to the big screen, the creaters of this film wanted to make a statement about free speech and censorship; thus, they intentionally attempted to make the film disgusting, perverted, obscene, profane, blasphemous, offensive, crude, and naughty. They succeeded. It is also, at times, very, very funny. But consider yourself warned.

Summary: Offensive?
Review: I just have to say one thing: I did not find this movie offensive and I am a Canadian Jewish woman! I think that a lot of people who think that minority groups will be offended by this film are missing much of the satire (and not just the "everyone gets made fun of" part). When Cartman teases Kyle about being Jewish, Cartman is the one who looks silly; the army's racist bent (operation "get behind the darkie") pokes fun at them, not chef and company, the victims of said racism; when the Canadians get blamed, bombed and teased (the foreign minister's "aboot" speech is a classic), its the Americans who look like buffoons. Ultimately, if you _are_ offended by this clever little film, you just might be one of the small-minded, censorship-loving ignorant jerks it so brilliantly exposes. Granted, it lends itself to being championed by beer-swilling fratboys taken in by the "ohmigodcursingcartoons" factor, but who cares? If you like the show or even if you don't, see this movie. It's ten times better.

Summary: This movie is the best ever!
Review: Parker and Stone out did themselves on this one! This movie really pushes the "R" rating to a new level. Now all other comedies must follow in the foot steps of this one. The songs, themes, and one liners are timeless. MOVE OVER BEVIS AND BUTTHEAD! SOUTH PARK IS TAKING OVER!

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?

Summary: Wish there was a commentary
Review: This was one of the best movies of 1999, and definitely the best movie of the summer! From beginning to end, South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut has you gasping with surprise and howling with laughter. After seeing a Canadian movie, the gang (Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny) begin swearing up a storm, prompting Kyle's overprotective mother to rally the adults to "Blame Canada" (one of the many toe-tapping songs in the movie). This leads to World War, Language Controlling Brain Chips, and, surprisingly enough, the return of a gay Satan, who is longing to be "Up There" with Saddam Hussein. Although this movie is crude, it gets a valid point across about parents and responsibility in true South Park style. My only complaint is that Matt Stone and Trey Parker didn't do a commentary track, which would have completed the DVD experience!

Summary: A minor classic
Review: This movie works for those who have never seen South Park, as well as for those that are avid fans. The humour is of the highest order as everything that can be mocked and abused is. This is first and foremost a musical, although that should not deter anyone from seeing this. Of particular note are the well crafted Satan song and the hilarious Shut your face number. This film has to be seen to be believed as there is nothing that is too sacred to be laughed at. For fans of the series there are many recognisable characters, and set pieces. This recieves the highest praise and lets not forget we see the full face of Kenny....
