Hilarious nearly all the way through, esp. for the fans...

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 1999)

Let me just start off first by saying I did not have the greatest of expectations for this film going into it. I am a big fan of the TV series, and like many other fans, I have felt that the show has been slipping a bit in its third season. But, in my opinion, the creative energy that was present in the first two seasons was present in this film!
The jokes in this move come so hard and fast, you will miss some because you are still laughing from an earlier joke. And, this movie is "on" about 85% of the time. Now, the question of vulgarity is a valid one, as there are in my estimation around 2000 vulgar words in this film, but the context of the usage is really comedic, and very rarely vulgar. The only scenes that I thought went "too far" were the ones that took place in hell.
South Park does have its fill of music, and considering this summer's "Tarzan" is not a musical, this would make South Park THE musical this season. The songs were really funny, and well written. Just about everybody gets to sing in this film, with the better songs coming from Mr. Garrison and Big Gay Al. Just about all of the characters you know and love make an appearance. However two of my favorite characters were hardly in the film, if at all: Officer Barbrady and Jesus.
All in all, this is a hilarious, tightly written comedy, that has something to offer even to the first-time viewer
