OK, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way first. Despite its colorful (if crude) animation, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is in no way meant for kids. It is chock full of profanity that might even make Quentin Tarantino blanch and has blasphemous references to God, Satan, Saddam Hussein (who's sleeping with Satan, literally), and Canada. It's rife with scatological humor, suggestive sexual situations, political incorrectness, and gleeful, rampant vulgarity. And it's probably one of the most brilliant satires ever made. The plot: flatulent Canadian gross meisters Terrance and Philip hit the big screen, and the South Park quartet of third graders--Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman--begin repeating their profane one-liners ad infinitum. The parents of South Park, led by Kyle's overbearing mom, form "Mothers Against Canada," blaming their neighbors to the north for their children's corruption and taking Terrance and Philip as war prisoners. It's up to the kids then to rescue their heroes from execution, not mention a brooding Satan, who's planning to take over the world. To give away any more of the plot would destroy the fun, but this feature-length version of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Comedy Central hit is a dead-on and hilarious send-up of pop culture. And did we mention it's a musical? From the opening production number "Mountain Town" to the cheerful antiprofanity sing-along "It's Easy, MMMKay" to Satan's faux-Disney ballad "Up There," Parker (who wrote or cowrote all the songs) brilliantly shoots down every earnest musical from Beauty and the Beast to Les Misérables. And in advocating free speech and satirizing well-meaning but misguided parental censorship groups (with a special nod to the MPAA), Bigger, Longer & Uncut hits home against adult paranoia and hypocrisy with a vengeance. And the jokes, while indeed vulgar and gross, are hysterical; we can't repeat them here, especially the lyrics to Terrance and Philip's hit song, but you'll be rolling on the floor. Don't worry, though--to paraphrase Cartman, this movie won't warp your fragile little mind. Unless you have something against the First Amendment. --Mark Englehart

 BIGGER December 13, 2009
John F., Warris, III (San Francisco, CA USA)
Now this South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut in Blu-ray is one very funny film. Not for kids.
You may find this very hard to believe... October 29, 2009
N. Rossi (Sewell, NJ United States)
...but this is without a doubt the single greatest musical-comedy of all time. In fact, a solid argument could be made for calling it both the greatest musical of all time AND the greatest comedy of all time, period. This is no hyperbole. It really is that good, that funny, and that intelligent. This is satire of the highest order, Mark Twain for today's generation.
This is a must-have if you're a South Park Fan. October 17, 2009

If you haven't already seen it, the movie itself feels like an extended episode. I don't care for musicals much, but I am a huge South Park fan and I absolutely loves this movie. The music is well-written and very very funny, as to be expected from the minds behind South Park. It came out during the beginning of the 3rd season (1999) so don't expect a lot of cameo appearances by recent characters.
If you have Blu Ray player, pick up the Blu copy of the movie. The newly released Blu copy has the creator commentary. For fans, the commentary is reason enough to own the disc. Many of you are probably familiar with the mini-commentaries Trey and Matt provided on most of the South Park Season DVDs, but this time it's feature-length and even has some of the other crew members share whatever they can remember making the movie, and as always is very funny and full of inside jokes and stories.
Let's hope the "Team America" Blu Ray Release is not far away.
A funny, all good movie September 9, 2009
Y. Jaafar (USA)
this is a very well written and produced south park movie. the only south park movie i should add.
very funny, if you watch the comedy central TV show, give this one a try, you will love it, i have seen this movie many times and every time it still feels good and great. love every bit of it.
the story is good and original, keeps all characters to what they usually do, no extra weird stuff where the movie looses plot or character. a couple of new things but not too much to where it gets annoying or not intresting...
buy the movie, dont rent it, you will watch it many times and luagh out loud...

Best movie musical of all time August 29, 2009
Donald S. Brown (Rochester, NY)
This coming from a musical director/vocal coach. Shaiman's score is brilliant and the movie is very well put together. Extremely entertaining!
