They don't come much better than this!

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2000)

This movie is just like the TV show, except it appears to be bigger, longer and near as I can tell, uncut.
The songs are wonderful. I can't get "Living In a Redneck Mountain Town" out of my head. Also, Trey and Matt are right. Canada is not a real country - after all, who ever heard of a country whose head of state cannot be a citizen of that country!
The romance between Satan and Mr Hussein was well observed and quite convincing. One wonders if all the foul language, blasphemy and violence was necessary, but one is forced to the inevitable conclusion that it was absolutely necessary.
It's always slightly sad when a young character like Master McCormick is taken from us on the silver screen, but realistically, the movie would have lost all integrity and authority if this had not happened.
SPBLU is surely the best movie of it's genre ever made. One struggles to think of a cartoon/musical/social commentary that comes close.
On the negative side, the animation appeared to be a bit on the rustic side - one almost feels as though this was deliberate. Also, why was Mr Gates only allowed to die once during the course of this sumptuous intellectual feast.
Take a bow Mr Parker and Mr Stone! You've done very well indeed.
