Brilliant Satire But Irreparably Damaging to Some

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 1999)

FAIR WARNING: South Park contains over 340 obscenities, racial slights a-plenty, sacrilegious material, graphic sexual and violent content, and enough satire to make Swift raise an eye brow.
Tell me that you've seen this movie! (It certainly picked me up after that abysmal EPISODE I.) If you love the show, just believe me when I say that you'll literally choke with laughter during the film. It's easily the best comedy I've seen so far this year. If I had to describe this film in two words "Brilliant Satire" would effortlessly come to mind.
My only real concern is that half of the audience will probably miss the satire and especially the film's overall important message. This is exactly why this raunchy film should not be seen by children. (It's rated "R" anyway.) The only thing that they'll come away with is a warped-mind full of profanity. Adults, on the other hand, will be too busy either laughing at or being offended by South Park's nastiness, which is fine, but to do so at the exclusion of getting the point is an insult to this work's brutal satiric genius. To know for certain, however, you'll just have to see it for yourself.
My Rating 7.5 to 8.2 out of 10 stars
