Clearly the way to go for overkill

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 1999)

After a successful tv run, t-shirts, and mocking albums, the next step is clearly a movie. I rarely watch the show, but when I do, I find myself laughing out loud as much as being annoyed.
This movie is an improvement from the show, to a degree. The first 1,000 times the F-word is uttered ( and mentioned in several songs) I wanted to congratulate Trey Parker and Matt Stone for bending the rules of the MPAA and bringing the freedom of speech in movies to the edge of the cliff.
But I only felt like this during the first half hour. In fact, I got tired as the F-words went from shocking to boring to annoying. It was like having your 5-year-old nephew with tourettes syndrome on your leg and yelling at you.
The movie has its share of good ideas: Saddam Hussein and Satan in bed (even though you have to wonder why Hussein is used as a joke six years after the HOT SHOTS sequel), the use of Conan O'Brien and George Clooney. Also, the Winona Ryder bit featuring the voice of Minnie Driver.
Though I liked the La Resistance thing, the whole war on Canada was dumb and excrutiating. Probably because it was a main plot point and hey you have an hour and a half, you might as well have some kind of story. Also the joke with Chef involved in the army is offensive (for the wrong reason) and there's a little to much going on between Satan and Sudaam. And the much-hyped scene featuring the face of Kenny wasn't so special, in fact, I was kind of disappointed.
But at least Trey Parker and Matt Stone are smart enough to use the freedom of making a feature film. It could have been worst, but it could have been better.
