A hilarious film, with a catchy sound track

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2000)

I have to agree with most of the other reviewers here. This film kicks ass! One thing that surprised me is that the music so good. I hadn't expected that. The songs are witty and extremely catchy at the same time (which is a bit annoying sometimes when you can't stop humming Uncle F*cka at work :-).The La Resistance medley is a song that stands out even if you look past it's comic values. It gives me goose pimples. I almost feel like "risking my life for freedom" too when I hear it.
There are some really hilarious scenes, like when the devil sings about how it could be "Up there" and you can see him gliding in a sailplain colored like the gay pride rainbow, and when the French resistance character "ze Mole" appears. Every single line uttered by the Mole is a classic!
All things aren't good in this movie. Some scenes (like when Cartman's mom is in that German Scheisse movie), aren't funny at all, it feels as if they have been put there because the film makers wanted to see how far they could go without being censored.
Unfortunately, the first time I watched it it was in a cinema full of kids. It was allowed from 7 years in Sweden (where the censorship board actually DOES think that horrific violence is worse than foul language), so it seemed as if the cinema just assumed that it was for kids and only screened it as a matinée. I'm not saying that they should have had a higher age limit for it, it's just that I couldn't enjoy all those naughty jokes when there were children present (me and my friends were the only ones older than 15). The funny thing is that we consistently laughed at different times all the time. The kids were mostly there for the fart-jokes (exactly like Cartman + gang with "Terrence and Philip") and were completely silent when "ze Mole" appeared and me and my friends laughed ourselves to tears.
I enjoyed this film much more the second time I watched it because firstly I wasn't in a cinema full of kids, and secondly I knew what was coming, so I could look past the few jokes that I find tasteless without being funny. And it wasn't until the second time I saw it that I realized how good the music actually is.
