South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut, and FLAT!

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 1999)

I admit it, I don't like the TV show. I just don't see the wit that I need to enjoy a comedy. Sorry. "So" you ask, "why would you see the movie?" Most everything I've seen and read said it was good, so I went. I learned something about myself that day, I learned I don't like South Park. I could tell there was an idea (albeit a good, and timely one) evident, but it just boils down to "I don't like South Park." Here are the problems I had: 1) Crappy animation- (hey,I know they make fun of it themselves but it sucks paying money to watch Construction Paper Cut-outs.) 2) Arrrrrggghhhh! EEeeeeee! Blaaaaaah! This is what 60% of the movie sounds like. Pronunciation is the key. 3) Didn't watch the show--didn't get the established jokes. It's a movie-it has to stand on its own. 4) Delivery- I understood the jokes, and I could see how it could be funny. I think I'd probably even like the script, but there is no emotion behind the characters so the jokes come out flat. 5) Wow factor-"Hey look, that cartoon is using profanity! And lots of it too!" Hyuck!-----Nope, I need pasta with my sauce. I did smirk once--the menstruation joke was humorous, but that was it. I know I'm in the minority as everyone was laughing up a storm in the theatre, but hey, I don't like South Park, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
