Social comment through hilarity

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 1999)

This movie will surely prove itself quite offensive to a small amount of population. Also provides a great tribute (poke) at the now-defunct old scheme of Hollywood's music-number-based hits like "West-Side story" and "Le Mis." Those who would be susceptible or sensitive to racy language and innuendo will most likely not attend. The "South Park Move" Is not only unimaginably hilarious, its purpose serves mainly a socially critical purpose. Yes, the movie has around three-times the average profanity of your run-of-the-mill "R-rated movie", but its release could not have been better timed. The movie's premise circles around our four heroes sneaking into an R movie and spreading the language therein. At the time of this spiel, the theatre owner had just pledged to card anyone who looks too young while purchasing a ticket. The film is a witty knock at censorship, but even more so, a satire of the fact that Hollywood is blamed for violence (thanks to the school tragedy in Little, CO), but punishes foul-mouths (which cause virtually no significant problems). There's a line which alludes to it (something) like this: "Gratuitous violence can run rampant, but the first profane work spoken and kids can't see it." Hilariously and willy significant on many levels, but simply outrageously funny based upon the comedy alone. See it... if you're not shy, timid or easily offended.
