i'm impressed

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 1999)

i've been looking at the other reviews on this movie and i find that i feel exactly oppositely than many about this movie. i hate the tv show. it's only appeal to me is that it's funny to listen to these strange looking little kids say f**k and s**t, even if it is bleeped out. however, i loved the movie. many people said that there was no social satire to the movie but that there was with the tv show and that the movie wasn't nearly as funny. what's the social satire with that cook singing about his assorted sexual encounters and a singing turd? the movie makes a very important and current observation about society: don't blame everyone else for your own child's behavior. maybe it's (shock!) your child's fault when he/she misbehaves. it's not the movies or the music or the tv shows or whatever. in addition, the musical numbers are inspired and are biting spoofs of the cheesy disney musicals. i love that no one is spared from the rath of parker's and stone's sharp sense of humor. and i never heard one word from any organizations criticizing the movie for making racist, anti-sematic, anti-gay, etc. jokes. why? because they did it across the board. you're offended by this movie? of course you are. i have watched a few episodes of the tv show before but i will never watch another. there is no way the tv show can possibly live up to the movie. i guess some people just think differently than others.
