The best comedy of the year...if you can take it!

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 1999)

Going into this movie, I was expecting a few funny South Park songs, some typical banter between the quartet, and a political statement made at the end. What the audience got (I went to the pre-screening at Paramount) was a carefully orchestrated musical with songs using musical cliches to a hilarious result. Trey and the gang went all out with explicitness as many stunts in the movie were shameless and explicit. But that is what made it so great! This movie is going to do very well, and no doubt the soundtrack will be a big seller.
The swearing never stops and neither does the sexual innuendoes...rather, they aren't innuendoes at all...it is all explicit. This movie definitely merits an "R" rating, and is definitely too strong for the youngsters. This movie is perfect for the diehard high school and college students, and that was definitely the demographic at the pre-screening.
People who "don't get" South Park (mainly critics and parents) will despise this movie. However, it easily tops Austin Powers for laughs, especially, as I said before, the musical numbers which are terrific. So, for all the South Park faithful, get to the theaters on a day when it is crowded so that you enhance your experience with the synergetic frenzy.
