Equal Opportunity Offensiveness--Amen!

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2000)

For the first 20 minutes of this film, I cound not contain my laughter. The genius of "South Park" is that it dishes up satiric vitriol in a cheerful musical that fires direct broadsides at D*sn*y films, yet manages to do so affectionately.
The satire is not so affectionate--it's effective and surgically accurate. I think what bothers people about "South Park" is that it hits so close to certain truths about our culture. Sexual stereotypes, the media, politicians and censorship in the name of "family values" are fair game. As always, Matt and Trey manage to offend everybody, most of all those who would decide for us what sort of entertainment we are allowed.
