Summary: When I Was on Top of Youuuuuuuuuu
Review: I saw Cannibal:The Musical, and I would have to say that this movie is funnier than a monkey being taken advantage of by a certain man *coughPhilCollinscough*. Shpadoinkle just made me laugh so hard. I don't think Oklahoma! will ever be the same. Being a huge fan of '50s musicals, the jokes from Oklahoma! just crack me up. The dream sequance was so funny. The brightly colored bandanas made me think of Curly. Let's not forget the Japanese Idians, not musicals, but who doesn't love Wild Wild West. I don't mean that new one with Will Smith. I mean the original one. Well, what did I forget? All I can say is I wish I could perform "This Side of Me" for my school variety show, but there is a cuss word in it. You guess what that word is. Overall, I would say Lloyd Koffman chose a winner. Toxie would be proud.

Summary: Amazing
Review: For such a low budget it's amazing what Trey was able to do with it. You can really see the origins of a lot of South Park characters and music. Musicals are few and far between anymore and usually they suck. Trey pulls on classic musical roots and brings his own hilarious spin to it making this one of my all time favorite movies. One more thing of note, the credits at the end of the movie show the copyright of the songs from 1993, but the movie seems to not have been released until 96.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a schpedoinkel movie!
Review: If you are a Trey Parker fan, get this movie immediately! If you are not a fan, give it a go, you may be surprised.

The songs alone are worth the price of admission! Therein lies the genius of this musical. The opening song and the "Trappers' Song" will haunt you for weeks and months. At least once every other day or so, one of those songs gets stuck in my head, like so many pieces of gristle between the teeth. My wife hits me repeatedly upon hearing a single word or opening note leave my mouth, for she will be ruined for the rest of the day being dogged by such catchy tunes.

And who better than the wonderful folks over at Troma to bring this film to us! They consistantly prove their worth and their value in the true independant movie world.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Wow, people seem to really like this movie
Review: i am a huge Trey Parker fan, so i gotta own everything he did. Unfortunately, that included this film

Back in college, Parker did a play about some guy in Colorado history called Alfred Packer. Later, he made a movie out of it. No one would publish it until he became famous, at which point the great Troma team published it

This is a musical. Like most Parker films, this one is about Mormons. About half dialog, half singing. Standard cast (Matt Stone, Screech, other UColorado alumni). Surprisingly, there are almost no jokes here - this isn't really a comedy. Well, maybe it is since all the characters act odd (stone is a liar, parker loves his horse, Screech wants to have sex, another guy is always happy), but no one really tells jokes or does anything really unrealistic. Despite supposedly being a cannibal movie, it's not really shocking or antisocial. It's just sort of a historical pic with some really bad songs (the reporter's love song, the schpedoinkle day song). Oh yeah, the plot - Parker (Alfred Packer) leads a bunch of mormons to colorado in the winter. If the movie was 90 minutes, about 70 minutes of it is spent talking about walking and whether they're lost. Maybe 5 minutes is spent when the freezing party eats a guy who was already dead. It's a slow paced movie

OK, the movie wasn't all bad. For starters, my easily-offended, churchy boy roommate thought it was hilarious. The trapper song is great. The paranoid Indians who spoke Japanese were great. But overall, this movie was very, very dry and way too long

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: quite possibly the best movie ever!
Review: I would have to say this is by far my favorite movie. I've seen it 20+ times and I laugh my bum off every time. From the amazingling catchy songs to the halarious characters(my fav is swan!), to the little things that you only catch the second or third time though, this video will make you laugh so hard you'll hurt! I had a problem with the very begining the first time I saw it, but I watch it every time now! You must see this movie! see it now! it's great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Parker, Stone and Bachar Do it again!
Review: Cannibal! The musical has got to be the best musical I have ever seen. I have been a fan of Parker since I first layed my eyes on South Park, and now having seen Cannibal! The musical, Im an even bigger fan than before! This is a must see movie full of jovial grotesque humor and twisted songs such as "When I was on top of you". Do not be unsure of buying this movie. You will definately not regret buying this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cannibal the musical rules
Review: Cannibal the musical is funny from start to end.The begining is gory but the blood is orangey color.And the songs are funny but sometimes unnessary.See the movie if your a trey parker fan of a gory comedy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Correction
Review: A Viewer From Atlanta, Georgia-The South Park TV show recycles music from this movie, not the other way around. Actually, the only thing you could be thinking of is the "Braniff" music, which is a snippet from Cannibal's theme song ("Sky is Blue"). Parker obviously included it there as an ode to his first success.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Phenomenal Film Is Parker's Creative High Point
Review: Trey Parker, the brilliant creator of such smashes as South Park, was still in college when this superb film was made, which is obviously superior to any other Troma film. Working with a super-low budget of about $25,000 (a huge budget, in the eyes of Troma), Trey and his friend Matt created this film, based on Alfred Packer, the first man ever convicted of cannibalism. The story has many fictional elements added to it (Karate-trained Japanese Indian's faces do not appear in pianos), and the other fictional things are obvious. Filmed in Colorado (the setting for South Park), this was filmed mostly in places Packer had really been. With a bitingly funny short thing with Lemmy from Motorhead supporting hermaphrodites (this is a DVD extra, with Matt and Trey hilarious as hermaphrodites). If you like movies, and you can appreciate a good one, Buy this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alferd Packer was framed
Review: Building Snowmen never was better, and starving travelers on their way to infinite wealth end up doing the unthinkable, eating eachother while doing it in song! Trey Parker, Matt Stone, these two names always are included in the funniest of movies. Beware, not for the faint at heart.

Sick Sick Sick comedy :)
