Editorial Review:
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
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.

Rating:  - Bigger, Longer, and Uncompromising
Outstanding! 5 Stars. This is how it's done. Stay true to the spirit and vision of the TV series and put in what would otherwise be in the TV show if TV didn't have to cater to lame, uptight, humorless people all the time. But it is precisely because of society's weirdness, stupidy, and strange mores that makes South Park possible in the first place. It is only out of the sheer wackyness of America that South Park comes from and reason why it is so funny. And I shouldn't be too down on America. I ... Read More
Rating: - So very funny!!!!!!
Even if you've never seen the show, this movie puts it all together. I didn't even mind it being a musical. Very explicit, not for the little ones.
Rating: - Bigger, Longer...and where is the second South Park movie??
I just watched this movie again tonight....and I'm happy to say that it really holds up well! The satire is right on and repeated viewings allow me to see new nuances and jokes that I missed earlier. This is always the sign of a classic movie! Sure the language is pretty foul...but that's the whole point, you uncle f****eer!
Rating: - Love it.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are geniuses. How do they come up with this stuff.
Now this is one hilarious movie. Will really make you laugh. However, this stuff needs to stay away from Kids. This is not meant for Kids at all. Also this is not a subject you would want to seriously discuss about. If you want to have a good laugh and have some fun, this is a movie to watch. For that matter all the Seasons of South Park will do the job.
Rating:  - Not as good as the cartoon.
It's ok, just ok.
The script is the usual ridiculous South Park fare.
Nothing new or innovative, this entire movie could have been split up into different episodes for tv.
Sorry but Beavis and Butthead do America at least had a reason to be on the big screen.
There was an actual story behind the annoying laughing.
South Park should have just stayed on tv.
Sorry but I'm going to recommend this to hardcore South Park fans only.
