South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

"OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED KENNY!" "YOU BASTARDS!" One of the most vulgar (but by no means THE most vulgar) animated films ever released, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (kudos to those who, by now, have figured out the innuendo in the title) is unbelievable. Filled with raunchy, Disney-esque songs (this is a musical, after all) and the vulgar, often politically-charged humor that is a staple of the show it is based on, the film's plot gets rolling after Stan, Cartman, Kenny, and Kyle (with younger brother Ike in tow) go to see Terrance and Philip: Asses of Fire ("a foreign film, from Canada!"). After quoting the vulgar dialogue in the movie at school, the boys get in trouble with their parents, and are sent to rehab with the school counselor Mr. Mackey. Of course, when they're done, they go to see the movie again, after which they attempt to replicate a stunt from the film. Anyways, Kenny is hurt very badly, is taken to the hospital (where South Park fan George Clooney gets a funny cameo role as, of course, a doctor), and dies (this isn't a spoiler, as Kenny usually dies). The boys' mothers then launch a crusade against all things Canadian, leading to a war between the U.S. and Canada. With Satan and his lover, Saddam Hussein, planning to return to Earth, all Hell really is going to break loose... unless Stan, Kyle, Cartman (with a V-chip that shocks him every time he says a cuss word) and (indirect) support from Kenny (who is in Hell) can stop their moms! Eric Idle also has a small cameo as the man who installs the V-chip in Cartman. Unlike some episodes of the show, this film has a very happy ending.

Rating: 4/4
