Plot: Cartman, Stan, Kenny and Kyle see an R-rated movie starring Canadians Terrance & Phillip. Eventually all the kids see it. The parents of South Park declare the kids are corrupted and declare war against Canada.
Review: I love South Park and this movie.
The plot does feel like a very long, musical episode of South Park. But what I like about the plot is that like the episodes, it deals with many different aspects of life including swearing and cursing, what's right for kids, what's the right thing to do altogether.
I like all of the songs used in the film. "Blame Canada" is absolutely hilarious and a highlight of not only the songs but the movie in general. What I like about the songs is that while they're over the top in terms of lyrics and such, it still feels appropriate for South Park. Maybe that's because South Park does and can go over the top.
There's a subplot where Kenny goes to Hell after his death and discovers Satan and Saddam Hussein are lovers and plan to take over Earth. I love the portrayal of Satan here. It's the exact opposite of what you'd expect. I'll even go as far to say that Satan is one of the more sympathetic characters in this, if not the most.
The parents of South Park aren't villainous even though they appear to be. They're trying to do what they think is right for the kids and realize that they've taken it too far. Even Satan isn't the villain. It's Saddam Hussein, who does get what's coming to him.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is an entertaining and hilarious animated film that will be appreciated by any South Park fan and I believe that this movie could suck you into the TV show as well. It's that good.
Rating: 4.5/5
