Not for children

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2000)

One of the advantages of making a movie out of a tv series is that fans already know all the characters and you don't have to spend a lot of time setting them up for the audience. "Star Trek" is another example. My sons introduced me to "South Park" some time ago. I found the animation crude, the language occasionally vulgar, and the whole show wildly funny....so funny, in fact, that I wondered why it was on the Comedy Channel. The movie was free to be even more vulgar. I remember some people in the audience walking out in the middle of it. What were they expecting? Well, I wasn't expecting a musical, but I sat through it. Crude and vulgar as it sometimes is, it's still a biting satire, as well as a send-up of....well, pick a movie genre. Odds are that somewhere in South Park it got skewered. This movie is NOT for children. This movie is for adults, but unlike so many "adult movies" it's funny, and worth watching. My personal favorite in it is Cartman with a v-chip.
