Rating: Summary: The worst Paramount DVD in their catalog... Review: The star rating's for the movie.This DVD is horrible. Certainly there's a great documentary waiting to be made on the five times Trey Parker and Matt Stone submitted their film to the MPAA or the script difficulties they had with Paramount. Someone's got to be lying to tell me there isn't a single deleted or unused animation for any cut of the film. It would be a boldfaced assumption to say that the boys couldn't have done a director's cut or something. It's just astonishing. Of course, I know it's not Paramount's fault entirely -- they wanted a commentary, but they were turned down cause the pair was frustrated. Nonetheless, Paramount could have gone back and tried to amend issues instead of just letting this crap be the only digital presentation of one of the smartest, most incisive and subversive animated features ever made. I mean, look at the menu. Badly manipulated generic still frames of the South Park kids holding up what are apparently construction paper squares. We really need to start a petition.
Rating: Summary: DON'T let the cute looks fool you... Review: The show isn't at all for kids in the first place, but this movie, the most vulgar, insane, and amazingly funny movie I have ever seen, is the least kid friendly animated motion picture in existence. With nearly 400 swear words (many F***), it's no wonder it has an R rating. Although uproarius in itself, the funniest thing about this movie is that it's a MUSICAL! That's right, you heard me correctly, A MUSICAL!!!!!!!!! If you are at least 12, like to sing, like South Park, enjoy musicals, or are just looking for a great laugh, pick it up. You will die of hysteria.
Rating: Summary: LOVED THE MOVIE; BUT NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED OR PRUDISH Review: SOUTHPARK is one of those shows that most people either love or hate. It's easily misleading to the haters because it has so much profanity and gross bodily gestures, as well as stabs at anything Americans hold sacred (i.e. Church, liberties, etc). During an interview, the creators made the comment that nothing could be held sacred in this series because that would have destroyed the spirit of their show. The purpose of SOUTHPARK is sometimes satirical, and, this is one of the two levels of the show. On the base level, we've got the high school jokes and usual crude humor. For those who appreciate satire, there are deeper levels of meaning. In the movie, the boys are tossed into the whirlwind of censorship, when a Canadian movie throws Americans up in arms. As matters rise, the two countries go to war and it's up to the boys to not only save the two countries . . but, also the whole world, as this war will let Satan return to rule Earth! Yes, only in SOUTHPARK. Look for satirical attacks on: how we censor sex but not violence (i.e. in France, it's the total opposite and they have far less violence than we do), Canada, parental neglect towards their kids, kids who get into censored films and even several attacks on Saddam Hussein!!!!
Rating: Summary: Crude, extremely vulgar humor can have a point... Review: South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut is surprisingly one of the most intelligent animated features to be released in a long time. It manages to combine Disney-quality musical numbers, unbelievable strings of profanity (I still remember the feeling of utter shock while hearing Terrance and Phillip's tune when I first saw the movie in the theater), and a valuable moral (made obvious during the movie's first song when the kids sing "Off to the movies we will go, where we learn everything that we know, 'cause the movies teach us what our parents don't have time to say!") into a film that will either a. have you laughing uncontrollably or b. offend you so much that you write your congressman in an attempt to ban the movie. South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut just proves how ingenious Trey Parker is- after all, who else could have visualized Satan having a gay relationship with a sex-crazed Saddam Hussein? Or that "Barbra Streisand" could quite possibly be the most powerful curse word in the English language? Bottom Line: If you want to see an insanely funny, unbelievably profane movie that actually has a message to its madness, you can't go wrong with South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. The only thing that kept my rating at a 4 for the DVD was the absence of special features.
Rating: Summary: The raunchiest of the raunchy. Review: It all boils down to this: only buy this movie if you like foul language and everything South Park stands for. I'll tell you all right now that I enjoyed this movie, but I am a South Park fan, and I can easily see how a great number of people would not (enjoy it, that is).
Rating: Summary: Crude humor with intelligence? Review: The Matrix mixed philosphy and action into a surprisingly great movie. South Park does the same, only it mixes intelligience and crude humor. Yes, there is cursing. Yes, there is crude humor - but behind the toliet jokes is an intelligent, well-written look at censorship and the ideas behind it. Obviously this movie is not for everyone. If you don't appreciate or understand sarcastic humor or irony, AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS. Unless, as Cartman says, "you want your innocent little mind warped."
Rating: Summary: Kick ... Review: So hilarious, and I am amazed they did the movie with a "musical" twist. Never would've expected it. I love how movies have several plots, which also have back plots, and in the end they all tie together. Like Cartman's cussing chip, the Satan/Saddam love thing, etc. Genius from Matt/Trey.
Rating: Summary: It made the television programme better Review: This is a film which is worthy of multiple academy awards and the acclaim of hollywood's greatest directors. South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut is truly the most politically incorrect, offensive,and funniest film of our generation, with the exception of none. Essentially the film pokes fun at all the wrongs in the world like war and sexual intolerance. It is based around a small secluded town in Colerado where the junior citizens of the town are corrupted by a scandelous Canadian film entitled 'Terence and Philip Asses of Fire' which insights the children to use foul language. One particular mother takes exception to this and arrests Terence and Philip along with her newly concieved interest group called 'Mothers Aganst Canada'. A feud ensues between America and Canada which leads to a war which in turn leads to the return of Satan to earth. The musical score in the film for want of a better word is a masterpeice. Songs such as Uncle F****r and the War Medley are both based on other musicals (Oklahoma and Les Miserables respectively)while songs such as 'Blame Canada' and 'Kyle's Mom is a B***h'provide a further measure of comic relief to a film jam packed with it already. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the two directors both poke fun at Saddam Hussain who they literally make out to be worse than Satan.But without Hussain the film would be less off. South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut appeared in the 2000 edition of the Guinness Book of world records for having the most rude words and rude gestures in the history of Film making, but in spite of this even the most avidly religious person would be rolling in the ailses after seeing it. Face it I did
Rating: Summary: Funny Movie Review: This is a really funny cartoon movie! There's reallly dirty songs and really good story. It tells about four boys that go to see Terrance And Philip and they learn rude language. Their parents are against it and finally USA and Canada are in a war. Satan and Saddam Hussein are in love with each others and Satan wants to rule the world and with Terrance and Philip it is possible. Kenny is in Hell because he went to movies instead of church... This is probably the best cartoon movie I've ever seen. There's much funny things. It's well done. I recommend highly to watch it!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant Mix Of Gross Out Comedy And Social Commentary Review: Most people consider South Park a show/movie that is just pure sexual innuendo, fart jokes, gross out humor, and four letter words...and that is right on the money, but what they neglect to point out is the brilliant weaving of social ideals into the mix. "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" is an absolutely brilliant film that does something that most film makers would not dream about: creating a microcosm of itself. The seemingly ascinine plot (the boys sneak into an R-rated Canadian film, then, through a series of extremely comedic events, eventually ends in a war with Canada, thus unleashing the Appoclyps), is what they thought was going to happen when the movie was released (granted, vastly over blown for theatrical effect). The movie itself is filled with side splitting humor and one-liners galor! Never leaving a dull moment open. To the addition of the genius of it, the fact that they made it a musical just upped the ante. With songs like "La Resistance (Medley)" (sung by the entire cast) and "I Can Change" (sung by Saddam Hussein) the movie is just incredible. The role of "Mr. Garrison" is remnisant of Jonny from "Airplane!", even resurecting spome old and brilliant jokes that were slightly changed from the aformentioned movie. The portayal of Satan in this movie is VASTLY DIFFERENT than any other portrayal I have ever seen. Satan is shown as a kind hearted homosexual in an up and down relationship to lover Saddam Hussein. Such entertaining happenings as that fill the movie. Look, whether you want a solid piece of cinema to disect and enjoy, or a gross out, offensive comedy that is pure fun you need to pick this up this movie, you will not soon regret it.
