I'm an uncle .... oh nevermind

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 1999)

This movie is one of the best movies in a long time. It is a complete social satire of what America represents. I saw this film with a Colombian friend, and he didn't find it funny, because he says Americans really do act that way.
The musical numbers are a little long, but well worth it due to the portrayal of American cinema and Broadway. The film offers low brow trashy humor and high brow parodies too. Several references to Les Miserables, Busby Berkely, and Musical comedies, along with the sex and excrement jokes, make this movie hilarious.
I didn't find anything in the movie offensive, even though I was the only one laughing during some of the jokes (the average age of the audience was around 16-18, who didn't have any idea where half the material was taken from). There are items that could be offensive, but they are a social comment of how society works (i.e. operation Human shield).
If you are easily offended, and don't like to look at the reality of today's youth, then don't go see this movie. On the other hand, if you like to have a good time viewing a rehash of American culture, and you find items that challenge American ideologies interesting and exciting, then go see this masterpiece.
