South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Movie Stats & Links |
| Starring: |
Stan Marsh, Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, Kenny
McCormick, Chef
|
| MPAA Rated: |
R
|
| Released By: |
Paramount
Pictures
|
| Kiddie Movie: |
The movie is rated R for a very good reason so I
say leave the kids at home. That's pretty easy for
me to say because I'm not a father, to the best of
my knowledge, and I've never had to put up with
whiney kids. If you do give in and bring Junior to
the movie then you deserve to have a foul mouth
little bastard for a kid. Don't go blaming the
movie's makers, it was your choice to disregard the
R rating.
|
| Date Movie: |
Only if she is not easily offended by swearing,
dildos, and a very large, magical clit living in
the forest.
|
| Gratuitous Sex: |
No, but Stan does find the clitoris, and Saddam
and the Devil are in bed together.
|
| Gratuitous
Violence: |
Canada bombs the Baldwin's and Arquette's in
Hollywood and the US attacks Canada in a bloody
finale to the movie. But it's cartoon violence so
that must make it okay!
|
| Action: |
Kenny goes to Hell in a really cool animated
scene, and the children of South Park form a
resistance group, other than that not too much.
|
| Laughs: |
Call me a sick little puppy but I laughed
throughout the entire movie.
|
| Memorable
Scene: |
I still can't get the picture of Saddam Hussein
waving a very realistic cartoon dildo while in bed
with the Devil. Oh yeah… You get to see
Kenny's face.

| Memorable
Quote: |
Lots, but the new version of "Kyle's Mom is a
Big Fat Bitch" as sung by Cartman, and Terrance
& Philip singing "Uncle Fucker" are
still ringing in my head. Oh yeah… Kenny
talks.

I just got off the phone with my
sister. She wanted to know what I thought about the new
"South Park" movie and did I think it would be OK for my 11
year old niece to go and see. First I mentioned that it was
a non-stop cuss-fest from start to finish. "Oh, I swear in
front of her all the time. I'm sure she's heard worse," she
replied. Ok… So then I went on to tell her that Saddam Hussein was doing the Devil in the ass with a dildo and
little Stan finds a huge clit in the woods. Then there was
silence for a long time. My sister then began to rant and
rave "Don't they know kids are going to go see this?" My
response to her was to remind her that it was rated R and
therefore not intended for kids. "But it's a cartoon," she
retorted.
Yes folks, "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" is a
cartoon, but it is a cartoon intended for adults. Do you
remember "Heavy Metal" and "Fritz the Cat" (or have I gotten
that old)? They were also cartoons that were definitely
meant for mature audiences only, and "South Park" is the
same. My point being that just because it's a cartoon, that
doesn't mean it's OK for kids. Parents should be mindful of
that and take responsibility for what they allow their kids
to be exposed to before the fact, and not overreact after
the damage is done. In fact I dare say that it seemed the
makers of this movie fully intended to make just that point.
"South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" (SPBL&U) is
actually a well made animated movie. If you put aside the
foul language and other naughty stuff the movie could
actually compete with any Disney production out there. Be it
the well made musical scenes or the simple flow of the movie
without complicated plot scenarios, SPBL&U is everything
that a animated Disney feature is. But considering its
mature use of language and situations it is everything
Disney is not. So what does that mean? It means that this
movie is a great, destined to be a classic, satire. Much
like "Young Frankenstein" put a comical and slightly sexual
twist on the old story, SPBL&U is a great comic spoof
and a "thumb on the nose" raspberry to Disney and all the
critics out there who are not mature enough to get over the
naughty stuff and see this movie for what it really is.
What's it about? Does it really matter? If you're a South
Park fan you're gonna see it any way, but to put the story
as simple as possible I'll just tell you that the South Park
kids get into an R rated movie, start swearing a lot, Kenny
gets killed, their parents blame the Canadians, Canada and
the United States go to war, the Devil and Saddam Hussein
wait for the apocalypse, and the world is saved by… I
won't give that away, but fan or not I think this is a movie
every adult should see because it is a well made satire and
there hasn't been one of those in a long time. Then again,
if you're the type of parent blaming your kid's problems on
society, you probably won't get SPBL&U and will blame it
for your kids problems too. Anyway, if you've got some
cranky little kids giving you shit about seeing it, I hope
I've told you enough to make your own decision. If not, read
the stats and links below and decide from there.
I liked it. I give it 4 of 5 stars. I'm Stu Gotz, it's a
great film! 'Nuff said.
