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

Rating:  - The tl;dr Review
Amazing film, funny and crass in the trademark South Park style with awesome and hilarious musical numbers. The only fiat barring it from earning five stars is because the DVD is practically barren of special features or bonus content of any kind.
Rating:  - The Best Darn South Park Adventure Yet
I think its safe to say that I'm a huge South Park fan. I've been with the series since episode 1, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe".
This Movie is all the lewd, crude, and Hilarious humor that we have come to expect from the 4 young lads in Colorado, only this time, it's Uncut.
The witty and (For lack of a better term) Idiotic characters that Matt Stone and Trey Parker write oh so well return, and they are better then ever. A Homosexual Saddam Hussein? Check. A non-violent and caring Satan? Check. Kenny actualy showing his face!? Check. Its all here, and its better then ever.
South Park BL&U is practically the greatest episode of South Park ever. Not only does it feature uncensored and hilarious scenarios, but it also has fabulous Music Scores. Even these are twisted and so far out, that it Screams excellence.
On a more serious note, BL&U actually does have a pretty heart-felt point to it. It shows that The Youth of our Nation has something important to say about war, and how we spasmodically choose to go to it. This is all cleverly burned into the hilarious Satire and witty humor.
If your a fan of this series, You have already seen it. Its hilarious in every aspect, and is definitely a must-see for anyone who is familiar with the show.
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 mean it's not like were in China or some crazy Muslim country. I'm sorry but those people are crazy.
"Bigger, Longer, & Uncut" makes me picture a gigantic uncircumcised wang which is a little funny I guess, but mainly just an image I'd prefer not to have in the first place. Where they really knocked it out of the park (no pun intended. really) is with the music numbers!! Great stuff. And I'm no big fan of musicals. Though come to think of it South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, -they all are great when it comes to the musical number. I don't understand people taking issue with South Park's animation being "crude". The style of animation is part of the charm of the show and it's characters and what makes it funny. It looks kind of absurd the way the characters move around sort of like puppets and there is very little detail to buildings and things.
The highlights of this great American comedy are so many, but the "Uncle F----" song is a favorite. And The Mole. When The Mole ... 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!
