scott29's Full Review: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Nobody is safe. Not God or Satan. Not Bill Gates or Winona Ryder or the US government. Media watchdog groups, lazy parents, the Baldwin brothers, and Canada also get a nice slam. South Park: BL&U has more courage than any 12 movies you could pick at random.
Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a movie that so joyously wallows in it's own wonderful vulgarity. It's so raunchy and over-the-top that you either surrender and laugh or end up very angry. African Americans, homosexuals, Jews, women, kids.... You name it the group; there's probably something here potentially offensive. The MPAA ratings board takes a particularly inspired trashing, as well.
The musical numbers are wonderfully entertaining. I especially enjoyed Mr. Mackey's song about alternatives to using dirty words. If you're easily offended, or have never seen South Park, STAY AWAY! However, if you like a good dirty joke, and think you've seen it all, just wait. You'll be laughing in a horrified state half the time. It's just so wonderfully refreshing to see something that was written true to form. No ass kissing to studio or the MPAA here.
It's like Stone and Parker are daring their audience to get offended. Their brilliant move is to combine razor-sharp satire with a surreal and absurd cartoon. Imagine if this had been a live-action movie. They wouldn't have been able to do half the gags, and it would probably have been just horrible.
If the South Park television show is ultimately remembered as a funny yet disposable fad from the 90s, this movie will remain as a testament to the profane and smart humor South Park was. It pushes a lot of envelopes and crosses lines, which is always a cause for praise, let alone the jaw-dropping humor it also has in spades. Hey, if you're someone who is easily offended, maybe you SHOULD see it. You may learn something about humor.
All kinds of an instant classic here. A colorful, unbelievably vulgar and intelligent satire. Ask someone in five years if they enjoyed this one. I bet their eyes light up and they start giggling. Say what you will, but THAT'S a good movie.
Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman sneak into an R-rated movie and it warps their fragile little minds. Soon their indignant parents declare war on Canada ...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
