OK, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way first. Despite its colorful (if crude) animation, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is in no way meant for kids. It is chock full of profanity that might even make Quentin Tarantino blanch and has blasphemous references to God, Satan, Saddam Hussein (who's sleeping with Satan, literally), and Canada. It's rife with scatological humor, suggestive sexual situations, political incorrectness, and gleeful, rampant vulgarity. And it's probably one of the most brilliant satires ever made. The plot: flatulent Canadian gross meisters Terrance and Philip hit the big screen, and the South Park quartet of third graders--Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman--begin repeating their profane one-liners ad infinitum. The parents of South Park, led by Kyle's overbearing mom, form "Mothers Against Canada," blaming their neighbors to the north for their children's corruption and taking Terrance and Philip as war prisoners. It's up to the kids then to rescue their heroes from execution, not mention a brooding Satan, who's planning to take over the world.

To give away any more of the plot would destroy the fun, but this feature-length version of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Comedy Central hit is a dead-on and hilarious send-up of pop culture. And did we mention it's a musical? From the opening production number "Mountain Town" to the cheerful antiprofanity sing-along "It's Easy, MMMKay" to Satan's faux-Disney ballad "Up There," Parker (who wrote or cowrote all the songs) brilliantly shoots down every earnest musical from Beauty and the Beast to Les Misérables. And in advocating free speech and satirizing well-meaning but misguided parental censorship groups (with a special nod to the MPAA), Bigger, Longer & Uncut hits home against adult paranoia and hypocrisy with a vengeance. And the jokes, while indeed vulgar and gross, are hysterical; we can't repeat them here, especially the lyrics to Terrance and Philip's hit song, but you'll be rolling on the floor. Don't worry, though--to paraphrase Cartman, this movie won't warp your fragile little mind. Unless you have something against the First Amendment. --Mark Englehart

From The New Yorker
Trey Parker and Matt Stone's television-cartoon phenomenon about four potty-mouthed boys and the cold mountain town they live in gets a big, splashy, singing-and-dancing, R-rated feature-film début-and it's pretty damn fat-ass funny. Parker and Stone's animation style-brightly colored cutouts on minimally painted backgrounds-owes a whole lot to Colorforms, and its very cheesiness is endearing. The movie, basically a rant against the motion-picture rating system, features more foul language than "Fritz the Cat," and the exploits of Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman-who are trying to save South Park from a conflicted Devil (his boyfriend, Saddam Hussein, doesn't appreciate him)-are really just an excuse for some wonderful musical numbers that parody both Disney and Broadway. (The film opens just like "Oklahoma!" and has a show-stopping number sung by the Devil called "Up There" that kicks "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" 's butt.) -Bruce Diones

Customer Reviews

Bigger, Longer, and Uncompromising
Outstanding! 5 Stars. This is how it's done. Stay true to the spirit and vision of the TV series and put in what would otherwise be in the TV show if TV didn't have to cater to lame, uptight, humorless people all the time. But it is precisely because of society's weirdness, stupidy, and strange mores that makes South Park possible in the first place. It is only out of the sheer wackyness of America that South Park comes from and reason why it is so funny. And I shouldn't be too down on America. I mean it's not like were in China or some crazy Muslim country. I'm sorry but those people are crazy.

"Bigger, Longer, & Uncut" makes me picture a gigantic uncircumcised wang which is a little funny I guess, but mainly just an image I'd prefer not to have in the first place. Where they really knocked it out of the park (no pun intended. really) is with the music numbers!! Great stuff. And I'm no big fan of musicals. Though come to think of it South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, -they all are great when it comes to the musical number. I don't understand people taking issue with South Park's animation being "crude". The style of animation is part of the charm of the show and it's characters and what makes it funny. It looks kind of absurd the way the characters move around sort of like puppets and there is very little detail to buildings and things.

The highlights of this great American comedy are so many, but the "Uncle F----" song is a favorite. And The Mole. When The Mole cursed god! Soo funny. My friends and I noticed that none of the black people in the audience laughed during that part which was an interesting social observation to us at the time. Having the plot center on Terrance and Phillip, the end of the world and the return of Satan -- all because of censorship and intolerance, you simply cannot top. They outdid themselves.

There are relatively few contemporary movies I've seen in the theater that I feel are perfectly realized artistic achievements. And that are as entertaining. Trey Parker and Matt Stone who are big fans of Mike Judge said that Judge did the smart thing with "Beavis and Butthead Do America" and by smart they meant safe. Judge made a movie that was fairly safe for the general public. I think South Park's creators got it backwards on that. They did the smart thing with their movie. Out of all the TV cartoon series movies South Park's is the best.

So very funny!!!!!!
Even if you've never seen the show, this movie puts it all together. I didn't even mind it being a musical. Very explicit, not for the little ones.

Bigger, Longer...and where is the second South Park movie??
I just watched this movie again tonight....and I'm happy to say that it really holds up well! The satire is right on and repeated viewings allow me to see new nuances and jokes that I missed earlier. This is always the sign of a classic movie! Sure the language is pretty foul...but that's the whole point, you uncle f****eer!
