F**K OFF SUBTLETY!

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 1999)

I was astonished at the reviews south park was getting. Many critics called it "absolutely hilarious" or "a f**king funny film". I was astonished when a large number of critics called it the funniest movie of the year. Election, a hilariously subtle masterpiece, had been released the past month, and received tremendous praise. I saw South Park knowing exactly what I was in for. I thought it had the potential to be funny, but could never live up to Election. I knew it would ignore all indirect and sophisticated humor, and I knew it would be composed of 99% toilet humor. I was right. I loved it. Leaving the theater I honestly DID find it the funniest movie of the year, and immediately recommended it to all my friends. Many stay away because South Park is likely to offend. That's the point. The swearing and cussing is not thrown in for "culture" like in Good Will Hunting, but the cussing actually COMPOSES the plot. If you haven't seen South Park yet, you have no idea what you're missing.
