Somewhere between love and honour, somewhere between courage and not courage somewhere between Ohio and Utah lies South Park
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut review South park is a quiet and peaceful town until the latest Terrance and Philip movie comes out. Once all the kids see it, all hell breaks loose, as the parents try to find a way to stop their kids from saying all the naughty words coming out of their mouths. The parents blame Terrance and Philip, place them under Citizen's Arrest, and declare war on their home country, Canada. It is up to the kids to save the world from Satan and keep Terrance and Philip from being executed The animation is deliberately simple, like elements cut out of construction paper. Characters consist of simple arrangements of basic geometrical shapes in bright colors. The movie is crass, rude, yet funny as all hell. Their brilliant move is to combine razor-sharp satire with a surreal and absurd cartoon .There is no doubt that South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut has plenty to offer filmgoers who enjoy lots and lots of crude jokes. From start to finish, they permeate the film. It's a mini-course in swearing that taught me a new term or two. I laughed. I did not always feel proud of myself while I was laughing, however. The biggest difference between the movie and the television series is that along with everything else, the film is a Disney-style (or anti-Disney, if you will) musical with 15 songs. The musical numbers are wonderfully entertaining. Especially clever is Mr. Mackey's song about alternatives to using dirty words and the Oscar-nominated 'Blame Canada'. If you're easily offended, or have never seen South Park, STAY AWAY!
