Don't let your parents see this film.

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 1999)

What can be said of this film that "reputable" reviewers haven't already said? It is a comedy, musical and war film all rolled into one. If you're looking for a moralistic story, there's one in there as well. I saw the film during the school holidays in NSW and was surprised at the number of under 15's who managed to get in.
The real fans of the South Park TV series will appreciate the effort that has gone into the making of the film. It is not representative of the way the series episodes are structured. In retrospect, it seems to be a rehash of an older South Park episode, Death, that featured Terrance and Phillip being protested about by the adults of the town, but the story has filled out well.
I won't reveal any major incidents here. That would spoil the fun but:
Satan is at his best trying to cope with the advances of a lovestruck Saddam Hussein while receiving life advice from Kenny.
Kyles mother still maintains her position as the moral center of the town and it's occupants, much to the dismay of every child of the town.
Some startling omissions from the cast are Mr Hankey and Jesus. After all, what is a battle of good and evil without the ultimate good?
The profanity level is what gave the film an MA rating in Australia, which apparently is the equivalent of an R rating in the USA, so make sure you don't let your parents know you are going to see this film. Do what the kids did in the film - pay an adult to pretend that you are with them.
The soundtrack is superb. The music isn't half hearted and the songs fit in well with the story, sort of like one of the old MGM Musicals of old.
My rating of the film has to be at least 11 out of 10. I can't wait for the next round.
