Funny, in a crude sort of way

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2004)

But that doesn't matter because I was laughing my ass of at this movie.
It starts with the familiar gang (Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny) are going to see a movie based on their favourite TV-series "Terrance and Philip". The film is jam-packed with crude curses and crude name calling which the guys start using. This then impresses the other kids of South Park that also goes and sees the movie, all to the dismay of the mums of South Park. They form an action-group called Mums Against Canada (because that's where the film comes from) and it all escalates into World War III! As mentioned above, there's a lot of crude words in this movie, but that doesn't take away the focus from the joke, it enhances them. The story takes pretty much a big jab at these whiny people that complain about too much curses/sex/violence in TV/movies/games/music. It is somewhat ironic that to protect their kids from curse words, the Mums Against Canada go so far as rounding up every Canadian in the US and start a World War, thus exposing their kids to extreme violence.
It is quite a high tempo in this movie, but there are some parts that drag along for too long, mainly the Satan and Saddam gay affair which I found pretty unfunny, but otherwise it goes pretty fast.
The songs of the movie should get some extra credit, because there lies the most subtle and funny jokes. The songs are just amazing and I still got "Blame Canada" playing in my head. The songs also lift South Park the Movie to a whole different level South Park the Movie is and awesome piece of work from Parker and Stone and should be, or so I hope, an animated classic. The in your face jokes and social criticism still feel very up to date, even though the movie was made for 5 years ago. I highly recommend it, either if you want criticism of American society or just for laughs. 8/10
