Movie:9.5,Music:10!

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2005)

This film gets better with each viewing. The jokes are tasteless,the religious cosmology will bother more than a few people(I suppose I could say that applies to me somewhat),the fans of Bryan Adams,Brooke Shields and the Baldwin brothers can sit this one out. Still,this has to be one of the most creative and fun movie musicals that have been concocted in years! South Park/Baseketball/PArker&Stone fans will probably appreciate this more than the average viewers. But I figure that even casual South PArk fans will get a kick out of this show.
The plot is centered on the four boys,Stan,Kyle,Kenny and Cartman,go see the R-rated movie of their favorite Canadian entertainers,Terrence and Phillip. After sitting through the film,they come home with potty mouths(or even pottier than before),this shocks and horrifies their parents and Kyle's mom Sheila decides to take ultimate action in assessing blame on why the town's kids now have bad mouths,dirty minds and nasty attitudes. Thus setting in motion a series of events--and before I forget,Kenny is killed because he tries a stunt from the movie,at Cartman's egging--that sends the U.S.A. to war with Canada. Meanwhile,Kenny returns from Hell with news that Satan and his lover,Saddam Hussein are planing a takeover of Eart that is a direct correlation of the war and the fate of Terrence and Phillip.
If that summary hasn't basically disgusted or confused you,then congratulations! You are probably right to watch this film. My personal opinion is that the music from this film(co-written by PArker and musical guru MArc Shaiman)is even better than the film itself and is worth purchasing,although I suppose if you haven't seen the film and/or South PArk the television series,it will be lost on you. My advice,see the movie and if it turns you on,I suggest you buy the soundtrack!
