Get past the hype about the language!Ignore the inevitable uproar about how this movie will destroy the fabric of today's youth! And get used to the fact that this is simply one of the best movies of the year!!!! And a musical at that!!! A brilliant satire on how people (sorry, Americans) are constantly looking to find someone or something to blame for society's downward spiral instead of accepting it themselves. Given the freedom to finally say what was on their minds, (something the 'moral' restraints of television wouldn't let them do) Trey Parker and Matt Stone have come out fighting. And believe me, no one will be left un-offended. And the great irony is that parents will be joining up to protest and prevent their children from seeing a movie about parents joining up to prevent their children from seeing a movie. Few movies based on TV shows are able to successfully present that transition from the TV screen to the Theatre screen.... but this is the natural progression of the South Park gang. Where can they go from here? I can hardly wait to see the next season....or dare I say it...the next movie. Do yourself a favour a visit South Park at least once. If you don't like it, you can leave......
P.S. Hope you can handle the Canadian spelling. Do yourself a FAVOUR and find out what we're all about (or is it aboot)!
P.S. Being Canadian, many people may think I was offended by the attacks on Canada. Quite the opposite. As I said before, Parker and Stone don't attack Canada, they use Canada to attack the US. Only those people who are being ridiculed themselves would see it any other way. Bye bye Baldwins........
