Made me into a fan!

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2000)

I didn't like the South Park TV show when I watched this movie. Imagine my surprise to find a clever, smart and capable MUSICAL hidden in this foul-mouthed package. As a big fan of musical theatre, I found South Park's subtle nods to shows such as Oklahoma and Les Miserables charming instead of derivative or derogatory. Indeed, the show even spoofs itself in its sharp commentary on the influence of media on children.
Not everyone can get past the language, but I highly suggest that you try, especially musical fans; the "La Resistance" send-up of "One Day More" is worth the rental price alone.
