Editorial Review:
STAN, KYLE, KENNY, AND CARTMAN SNEAK INTO AN R-RATED MOVIE AND IT WARPS THEIR FRAGILE LITTLE MINDS. SOON THEIR INDIGNANT PARENTS DECLARE WAR ON CANADA AND OUR YOUNG HEROES ARE AMERICA'S LAST HOPE TO STOP ARMAGEDDON.
Description of South Park - Bigger, Longer & Uncut:
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
South Park - Bigger, Longer & Uncut Reviews:
You may find this very hard to believe... 
2009-10-29 - ...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.
2009-10-17 - 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
2009-09-09 - 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
2009-08-29 - This coming from a musical director/vocal coach. Shaiman's score is brilliant and the movie is very well put together. Extremely entertaining!
One Of The Funniest Movies Of ALL Time!!!
2009-07-28 - I am a huge South Park fan (never miss an episode), which is why I had to see this movie. It was everything I expected it to be, down right funny!! It's said in the Guiness Book Of world records that this movie holds the record for "Most Swear Words Ever Said In An Animated Film" with 179 uses of the F bomb, and.......I forgot how many of the other words were said, but anyways this movie is probobly not for children under like, 14 years of age. The movie is not just a movie, but a musical, with some pretty good numbers in it, that you wouldn't expect from South Park, plus like every single South Park episode the movie teaches you something, about polotics and war, and censorship.....and Kenny's true identity. Any way's, this movie is for anyone who is looking for good down & dirty comedy, and should not be seen by kids......it can currupt their fragile little minds. 5/5!!!
