Hilarious, raunchy satire for ADULTS!

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 1999)

The movie lets Stan, Cartman, Kyle and even Kenny say all of the things they can't on TV... and it's great! More than just an excuse to be raunchy, this movie satirizes society, the movie ratings system, and itself all in one shot. It's rated "R" for a REASON - the same reason that the show itself is on cable at 10:30PM... it's for ADULTS only! Sometimes "animation" does not equal "for kids". That being said, the movie's raunchiness has a purpose - to teach us not to blame the world for what our children do but to look to ourselves for a change. The boys sneak into an "R"-rated movie, and as a result begin using foul language. The parents (led of course, by Kyle's mom) want to wipe out Canadian comedy rather than face the facts that they should be paying more attention to their children. Not everyone will like or "get" this movie. But in the words of Joel Hodgson, creator of MST3K, "The right people will get it." Or maybe in this case, the people who NEED to get it will not. There are what seem on the surface to be a lot of racial/ethnic/sexual remarks, but it isn't offensive, since everyone is slammed in the same manner, and the insults are there to show you how stupid they are. Social commentary aside, it's one HILARIOUS movie from beginning to end. I have never heard so many bust-a-gut laughs in a theater in my life. See it if you dare!!
