South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)

Rating: 4 Stars (out of 4)

Blame Canada

By Jeffrey M. Anderson

Buy South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut on DVD.

This movie is nasty, shocking, hilarious, and close to brilliant. It's a fearless satire that even Mark Twain would respect, taking a vicious animated skewer to such topics as: the military, gay people, the media, the MPAA ratings board, the Internet, the V-chip, and Heaven and Hell, on top of the usual fart jokes and all around bad behavior. And it's a musical! The story by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Pam Brady concerns a filthy Canadian animated movie that causes mothers to declare war on Canada, and Satan's subsequent return to Earth. It's been a while since I've laughed this hard!

Written by: Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Pam Brady
Directed by: Trey Parker
MPAA Rating: R for pervasive vulgar language and crude sexual humor, and for some violent images
Running Time: 81 minutes
