Outstanding. Simply Outstanding.

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2000)

This is THE best movie of 1999. Bar none. SP:BLU is a movie that dares to be offensive, dares to attack hypocrisy at every turn, dares you to laugh at the most politically incorrect things you can think of--there's not a group around that escapes the sharp edge of Parker and Stone's satire.
But it's not just satire; there are some brilliant cultural references in this movie. I laughed hysterically at the homage to PRISCILLA: QUEEN OF THE DESERT when Winona Ryder appeared onstage at the USO show. Bill Gates getting chewed out about Windows98 was also a scream. George Clooney playing the ER doctor who tries to save Kenny is a nice touch. And the homage to LES MISERABLES still makes me laugh.
And it's a musical. A musical with wonderfully singable tunes that you can't sing in mixed company, though you'll be sorely tempted. I dare you to see this film and not walk out singing "Uncle" under your breath. My husband and I immediately went out and bought the soundtrack because we could not believe how terrific the songs were. "Blame Canada" got Oscar nominated, and frankly deserved to win--it's THAT good.
I bought this movie the second it came out on DVD. When my husband and I need a good laugh, we pop it in, and before long we're singing along with Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. This movie's not for everyone, ESPECIALLY not for children. But if you're an adult who likes all things outrageous, see the movie. You won't regret it.
