A brilliant satire, but also an honest comment on parental responsibility, censorship, and morality.

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2008)

Stan, Kyle, Ike, Eric, and Kenny all go to an R rated film which is an adaptation of their favorite show, a crude humor filled Canadian skit comedy called TERRANCE AND PHILIP. Upon leaving, they imitate the language in the film, prompting their parents to react in surprisingly shocking ways. They start the MAC(Mothers Against Canada) before getting president Clinton involved along with talk show host Conan O'Brian before arresting Terrence and Philip and putting all Canadian-American citizens into special Concentration camps. Canada decides to act upon this and thus a gory war on Canada is declared. The boys realize that it's up to them to fix things before Satan takes over the world as soon as Terrence and Philip are executed. The fact that this film is animated is what makes it funny and ironic. In a way, the film is making a comment on itself and it's source material. The fact that the film has something very relevant to say about first amendment rights is what makes it daring and worth seeing. I do not know of any other film that does this. The originality of the concept really helps it define it's ability to be watchable. I consider the show, SOUTH PARK, to be one of the most brilliant and funniest television shows to come around for a while. This film not only pushes the idea of the show in a direction that makes sense, but it also takes into consideration the feedback the show gets for it's language and subject matter. Everything about this film is pretty perverse. Anybody can figure that out by just the title, SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER, AND UNCUT. When it was in theaters, a lot of people I knew who had no idea what the show was just assumed that it was a pornographic film. Indeed, there were times in the film in which the content was pushed a little too far. However, the show does this to me almost all of the time. What makes the show really special to me is that it actually bothers to challenge me and what I can handle in a way that works because it is animated. There are times when the show is really hilarious and over-the-top, and there are times when it actually challenges the viewer to laugh. There are times on the show in which there are genuinely emotional moments and times where there is heartless cruelty. This film is no different. The character of Eric Cartman has to deal with a V-chip that is surgically implanted into his head that caused him to get shocked when he swears. Stan is in love with a girl in his class who he can't have. Kyle's mother is the woman who starts the coalition against Canada and is forced to deal with the embarrassment of that and has to protect his adopted younger brother Ike as he is Canadian. These plights in this movie are treated with more sincerity and respect than they probably ever would in another movie. To help push things along and add even more emotion, there are also musical segments. The film is a musical and the songs in them are fantastic. This film has one of the better soundtracks of the last ten years. This film will always hold a special place in my heart. Nine years later, it is still amazing and funny as hell. Definitely check this one out if you haven't yet.
