movie review - South Park
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 1999.07.13
In a word? Vile. Pushing for the most puerile, offensive reaches of NC-17 or whatever, the South Park guys have actually also made a watchable, entertaining movie. Don't get me wrong - this isn't Wag the Dog, but if you can stomach the unending, uncompromisingly offensive content, this is a very funny flick. I mean, what the hell do you expect from South Park? This movie contains song with titles that contain obscenities, like Terrence & Philips Shut your f*cking face, unclef*cker!
I enjoyed the big-screen treatment of the familiar TV characters. I liked the subjugation of a plot to the gags and character interactions.
Recommended.
