This magnificent musical revolves around the fortunes of Terrance and Phillip, the great Canadian TV and movie stars. One Sunday, the little South Park urchins see their movie Asses Of Fire and are completely bowled over. The animation is perfect as it captures the boys' rapt attention in the movie house. The boys are accompanied by a little baby, who mouths all the swear words in the cutest way.

The highlight of Asses Of Fire is the great song Uncle F that has everybody singing along to the grand finale of Asses Of Fire, a feast of flatulence. When the urchins start swearing, the mothers and teachers of course pick it up. Soon, the cause of the bad influence is established: Terrance and Philip, and Canada in general. Concern spreads across the USA and soon it's on network news, where they even show a clip of a hip hop version of Terrance And Philip's aforementioned hit song.

The school does its best to persuade the children to use decent alternatives instead of swear words, in a lovely singalong number. After that, the kids go see Asses Of Fire again. Emerging from the theatre, the luckless Kenny, inspired by Terrance and Philip, lights a wind and catches fire. He's taken to hospital but after an unsuccessful operation, Kenny succumbs. In the meantime, the mothers are organising, forming the organisation Mothers Against Canada to combat the toilet humour running rampant.

Next thing, Terrance and Phillip are arrested during a TV interview. This leads to an angry exchange between the Canadian and US ambassadors at the UN. This is very funny, especially where all the delegates laugh at the Canadian ambassador. The Canadian Airforce responds by bombing the Baldwin residence in Hollywood. In South Park, the people burn Canadian products, including an Alanis CD.

While this is going on, Kenny goes to hell where he encounters a sad Satan and an amorous Saddam. The urchins form La Resistance, a resistance movement, and they get the help of the debonair Christo, the Mole. The plan is to rescue Terrance and Philip during the USO Show for the troops. The show itself is hilarious, with appearances by Yippy the Dog, Winona Ryder and Big Gay Al singing Everything Is Super.

As T & P are about to be executed, the Canadians attack and mayhem ensue. In this chaos, Saddam and Satan appear, but a wiser and sadder Satan soon returns to hell. All's well that ends well, everybody comes to life again and the movie ends with a spectacular song.

There are many subplots too, like the love affair between one of the urchins and Wendy. For a while, it looks like she's falling for the preppie-like Gregory but in the end she returns to her boy, causing him to vomit violently from an attack of the nerves.

But the stars of the movie are definitely Terrance and Philip as we see them in their blockbuster movie Asses Of Fire, on their TV show, being interviewed on TV and in the video for their hit song, Uncle F. South Park is one of the funniest, most irreverent movies I've ever seen. It stunned and delighted me.

I remember when I rented this movie a few years back, and I tried to watch it at about 1 a.m. I had to turn it off....it was TOO funny....too much for my senses that late at night!!! The usual guys are here....Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, etc....with one very big difference.....they curse a LOT and dont bleep it out!!! As usual theres the fast rapid fire humor that South Park is known for.

So if you like it fast and raunchy, get a big bag of popcorn, a nice cold soda, and take a few deep breaths cause you will LAUGH!!!

"South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" should have won the oscar for best picture that year. No, I don't remember what movie received that honor, but I maintain that it was undeserved. Trey Parker is a comedic genius and also one hell of a musical satirist. He has a considerable talent for composition and arranging and his ability to ape various musical styles (mostly musicals here, old and new) is very impressive. The Les Mis number is outstanding. That stuff is hard to do.

Parker's humor is sharp and it cuts through all the layers of hardened feces that surround any given issue. It is wholesome irreverence. South Park is not just "potty" humor. It's intelligent, socially relevant, taboo-crushing, politically saavy potty humor. Trey Parker is the Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill of modern cinema. Okay, I am stretching. But the point is, there's more going on here than farting and cussing, although I must say that all of the profanity is masterful.

The point hammered home in the feature film is that the MPAA is a joke and that the ratings system in this country is completely screwed up. More importantly, this film exposes a culture that embraces violence of all sorts, but abhors dirty words. All sorts of other hypocricy and stupidity are joyously acknowledged and then put to music. This movie is downright subversive and one of the funniest I have ever seen.

The point of any satire is to suggest that something that no one could possibly find acceptable is indeed acceptable in a sarcastic sense in order to insult a particular audience. For example, Jonathan Swift (possibly one of the greatest satirists who ever lived) wrote a satire known as "A Modest Proposal", which suggested that selling children as food was acceptable so that 17th century England could thrive despite Irish oppression at the time. Swift was trying to make a point that Irish oppression was driving England to extreme poverty, and wanted the Irish government to feel stupid for it. This is what "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" attempts to do to parents and people supporting censorship for the wrong reasons. In this movie, it seems as though violence is acceptalbe, as long as people don't say any profane words (Infact, Kyle's overbearing mom states this at the movie's conclusion). It is a seemingly ridiculous society, but everything that happens throughout the movie serves to emphasize that flipping out over the use of profane words in today's society is stupid, people who flip out like that are stupid, and that censorship should focus on what's really threatening to young minds. Therefore, the fact that there are one-star reviews clearly illustrates that this movie did what it wanted to do. Curse words were not thrown around just to be thrown around. Rather, they were done so to show the typical reaction people have to hearing them, and this reaction was intentionally blown way out of proportion. What an amazing satire...one that will hardly ever be matched anytime soon! This is one of the most deceivingly deep, yet rebellious movies to ever come out. I'm GLAD people were offended by it; they can join all the other squares in this world who would declare war on anyone who might accidentely slip out the f-word when frustrated.

4.5 stars. My only two complaints about this film are: 1) Many of the songs here build into choir-like crescendos that are so layered with vocal harmony that some of the lyrics are indiscernable, and 2) The song "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" really isn't that great(the redux of this song played when the credits start to roll is more fun). After that, however, I have nothing but glowing praise for this fantastic animated social-satire on censorship. There are very few dull moments in this film, and some of the songs actually border on genius. Having Satan sing with a combination of Opera and Motown spirituality is just one of those inspired moments. Who knew Satan could belt out a song with so much heart and soul? In a year of great films...1999 also included "The Sixth Sense," "American Beauty," "Fight Club," and "The Matrix." Those were great films in their own genres, but I did not laugh harder at any other film that year more so than "South Park." What elevates this beyond simple parody or foul language mixed with toilet-humor is a thick layer of undeniable, touching satire and many an homage to classic films such as "Patton," "Apocalypse Now," and as far as conditioning Cartman, "A Clockwork Orange." When I saw "South Park" in the theater I was actually surprised that no one in the movie house got up and left when that special "Terrence and Phillip" song started bursting from the speakers. Instead, there was at first a shocked silence, then completely unbridled, belly-bursting laughter. The dialogue here is extremely quotable, as any "South Park" fan will tell you. As for my personal favorite moment in the film, it comes packaged in the very last song during the credits when Michael McDonald(a respected master of Blue-Eyed Soul) sings the song "Through the Eyes of a Child." He sings in this gorgeous voice about how magical children are: "They've yet to realize...the (...)they really are!" Priceless. May you laugh heartily and long at everything in this film. Thank you.

This movie was ok. I liked it when Cartman grabbed a megaphone and said to Garrison "WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY BALLS?" That was very funny. And the Mole made a funny joke about Barney. The movie overwhelmed me with the cussing, though. I don't know why i didn't want to rate it 5. but This Move was pretty Good.

rude, vulgar, offensive.......... I LOVE IT!!!

Best damned South Park ever. I have watched it several times and it keeps getting funnier. As for the whiners that say it's crude and offensive, (...) A movie for the whole family, even elderly gramma will like it.
