Foul and Funny

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 1999)

This movie reminds me of the time that "Fritz the Cat", the first X-rated cartoon, came out. Many went, and were disappointed that the film was foul, but not funny. But "South Park" IS funny. And believe me when I tell you, it's also foul beyond belief. The movie revolves around the notion that instead of battling the rights of free speech, a parent ought to regulate their kids more closely. They're right, and the regulation should start with this film. It's hilarious, but definitely for adults only. (And at the screening I attended, even the adults were gasping at what they'd seen, before collapsing in laughter at the shock of it all.)
