A Great Political Film with an Excellent Soundtrack!

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 1999)

I loved this movie. It is that simple. I have been a fan of South Park since they first aired the "Jesus vs. Santa Clause" skit. I think the show is incredible, and I am also a big fan of the movie "BASEketball." I think that "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" is a terrific movie that challenges several things. While everyone and everything is made fun of in this movie, from Christians to Jews to Homosexuals to Canadians to Satan to Winona Ryder, this movie also brings out an important message: the right to freedom of speech. While I don't know if the ingenious creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, meant to do this, or if they just wanted to get away with as many things as possible, or if their only reason was to flick off the MPAA, I have no idea. What I do think however, was it was all three of those. Sure Parker and Stone have expressed their dislike for the MPAA, and they have a right to after being smacked with an NC-17 rating for "Orgazmo," their previous movie attempt before "South Park." But they also created with this movie a very offensive, yet hilarious opinion on freedom of speech in America. And who can't love this movie anyway? Sure, every single viewer of this movie is made fun of one way or another, sometimes more than once, but who can't love the American Army going to war with Canada, and their creative language of mixing sex terms with various other nouns? For example: "You donkey-r*ping sh*t-eater." C'mon, that is just downright hilarious. Plus, this was an excellent musical. From the Terrance and Phillip movie's number one hit, "Uncle F**ka," to Satan singing "Up There," or Saddamm claiming "I Can Change?" I own the soundtrack, have seen the movie twice, and I cannot get enough of it. Do yourself a favor and go see this movie as soon as possible. If you missed it at the theater, wait till video, but you have to see it. My grade: A
