South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

A near-masterpiece, no less. Tautly telling a story with several laudable messages, Parker and Stone brought the best satirical and crude elements from their show to the big screen. The many seriously catchy songs are all outstanding, the medley being particularly spectacular, and they lend themselves well to the epic scope. It's my favorite musical ever, hands down, and one of the funniest comedies of all time. It is, in short, fucking sweet.

Satirically it's a brilliant film. On one level I'm sure more immature people will find it funny for just how offensive it can back. However it can certainly be enjoyed on a more cerebral level. It does have something important to say as it points out the flaws with the MPAA and improperly directed rage which sets it's sights on censoring rather than responsible parenting.

I have almost no enthusiasm for the show, but I want to take this movie to the prom and awkwardly try to grope it. Then when it asks what I'm doing, I'll get nervous and make up a lame excuse. A very short time later, I'll drop it off at home without so much as a goodbye. I'll finish my special night weeping alone in my geo metro while drinking strawberry MD 20/20 and listening to Morrissey's Vauxhall and I (on cassette, of course).

Brilliant comedy and biting satire. In other words, the show translates perfectly to the big screen. Watching it again years later, having matured since playing it to death, I can appreciate the movie's brain: there is depth here, and great social commentary. Despite its crass humour, it does have something to say. Several things, actually, but mostly about over-zealous parenting and the MPAA's bass-ackwards moral code. Short, sweet, and built to be watched again and again and again and again.

Not just a brilliant comedy, but a great musical. Like no other film has ever done before 'South Park...' manages to balance satire and absurd crass humour just perfectly. The first time I watched this I was literally pissing myself laughing, and it actually stands up to multiple viewings really well.
