Humour with spikes. 9/10.

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 1999)

Very funny. The writers fill this movie with a sharp wit that pokes fun at society's failures and eccentricities. There is some courser humour too. I am a recent convert to South Park and have only managed to watch a few episodes. A couple of the episodes had me in stitches and while the film never reached that height it was close.
A couple of insights:
Both heaven and hell are depicted during the movie. While heaven is portrayed using 'normal' (ie. cardboard cut out) animation, hell is lavished with fluid special effects. No prizes for which destination the animators are more interested in.
This is the second comedy I've seen that depicts the US going to war with Canada. Some of the jokes went over my head; '(Canada) is not even a real country.' This is funny? There is obviously some friction between these two nations. National distrust between neighbours is common; the Scottish don't like the English who don't like the French. Most of Europe can't stand the Germans and they hate the Russians. Most of this can be put down to historical conflicts but US and Canada? Why?
