South Park:Fouler, Over the Top and Still Funny

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 1999)

As Stan Marsh himself would say: "Dude! This is pretty f****d up right here!" And that describes this movie. Never have I cringed and laughed so hard all during the same film. Parker and Stone manage to be vulgar, funny, outlandish, funny, gross, funny, extremely disgusting, funny, childish, funny, inordinately blasphemous, funny and just plain rude, all within 90 minutes. And oh, did I mention the film was funny? Many critics were right in their assessment that beneath the crude and crass exterior hides a surprisingly witty satire that takes aim at everything from our preconceived notions of right and wrong to the hypocritical attitude we have towards the media. The film spares no one and in the process provides some truly hilarious moments. Unfortunately many of the gags are unnecessarily vulgar to the point of being downright embarrassing, but then again, that's probably the point. Maybe... The musical numbers are a hoot, especially the duo with Terrance and Philip with a rather peculiar musical bent. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to recommend this film. It is definitely not for everybody, and ABSOLUTELY NOT for kids. They wouldn't understand the humour and the extremely foul language and vulgarity taken out of context would certainly give them all the wrong ideas. This is an ADULT film in every sense of the word. If you're a fan of the show, go see it. Otherwise spend your money elsewhere.
