Satan heart Saddam

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 1999)

As a rule, I don't like musicals. Especially musical cartoons, since most of what Disney spews out is so politically correct and lovey-dovey that I'm surprised it doesn't gum up the film projector with all the sap. "South Park," however, IS what I want to see.
I do have to say I am one of the converted. Even though many of the recent episodes have been kind of lame, when it is good, it is one of the funniest television shows around. There is lots of toilet humor, but the best parts have always been strange little bits that just come out of nowhere.
The "South Park" movie makes up for the current episodes, since it is obvious that all of Trey and Matt's creativity has been focused at making this movie something worth paying money to see. The situations are absolutely outrageous, the musical bits all work, and there's plenty to tick off everyone on both sides of the political spectrum.
The only major problem is not enough of Chef who, even though he is a minor character, is one of the best in the show. The parts he is in are great, of course.
From what I understand, quite a bit had to be cut out of this movie because of the MPAA freaking out. It will be interesting to see if a director's cut makes it to video. Either way, this is probably the funniest comedy that is going to come out all year, and one of those strange, warped pictures that everyone will want to see again and again.
