A message in a South Park movie?!??

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 1999)

I just went to see this movie tonight and I must say that I was very much impressed with the fact that it actually had a message! I didn't really expect it to contain any redeeming social value, so in that sense I was very much impressed. As I saw it, Matt and Trey very effectively spoke out against society's willingness to blame anyone but those who are truly responsible, as seen in the Columbine shootings, etc. However, I must also say that I do feel that the MPAA may have been right in this case. South Park truly was "uncut" as the title claims and the "adult" language and crudeness were there as I have never seen before in a film. In other words, it was fully deserving of the R rating it received (if not the NC-17 rating it didn't..). I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone "of age" or to anyone who knows that they can handle the extremity with which the film's message is expressed. The social and political commentary this movie possesses is vitally important today with the media's current trend of scapegoat searching.
