  1. Turns out to be the funniest, most risk-taking, most incisive movie of the summer.

    Parker jams South Park with so much comic "stuff" that the effect is dizzying, at least for those who haven't left the auditorium in a huff before the end.

    This isn't just the most riotously inventive movie of the year, it's the raunch anthem of the age.

    When it's on its game, and it frequently is, South Park's portrayal of its foul-mouthed, pre-teen, construction-paper-like protagonists' navigation of the absurd adult world around them cuts as deeply as any other current comedy.

    The ultimate truth, though, is that certain, probably arrested, personalities (like mine) just find this kind of shit pretty funny and any attempt to talk your way around that is, as Cartman would say, blowing bubbles out your ass.

    Parker and Stone have created a movie that will doubtlessly infuriate and offend -- and amuse to no end.

    The kind of college movie people will be quoting for years.

    So gleefully vulgar, so eagerly offensive, it's tough not to get down on all fours and beg for more.
  9. Very funny, extremely obscene movie spinoff from the popular animated Comedy Central series.

    Every bit as tasteless, irreverent, silly and smart as the Comedy Central cartoon that catapulted creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone into the Hollywood catbird seat.

    Here's another warning: you may laugh yourself sick--as sick as this ruthlessly funny movie is.

    Bigger, Longer & Uncut will make it harder still to dismiss, or kill, this cultural mini-phenom — not least because the feature is a more clever diversion than anyone had any right to expect.
  13. Far filthier and a good bit funnier than Trey Parker and Matt Stone's sophomoric cable TV show ever dared to be.
  14. 80
    Sharp, wildly funny social satire behind the profanity and potty jokes.

    The kind of movie that can get you simultaneously laughing and shaking your head at its audacity.
  16. Nonstop crudeness, vulgarity and unpleasantness. It's without any redeeming social value whatsoever. And it's funny from beginning to end.

    This has to be the raunchiest full-length animated feature since Fritz the Cat, which got an X rating in 1971.
  18. 75
    An agreeable, albeit uneven, experience. Parker should take note, however, that, in some things, size doesn't matter and bigger doesn't mean better.
  19. Undoubtedly the rudest and possibly the most inspired comedy of the summer.
  20. 70
    In terms of raw wit and fearless satire, the South Park kids put Mike Myers and Adam Sandler to shame.
  21. 70
    Beneath the veneer of fake dicks and fart jokes, it's really a righteous paean to saying whatever the hell you want.

    Bigger, Longer & Uncut delivers: It's never less than funny, and at its best, it's truly hysterical.

    Surely, there will be audiences that see South Park as one of the signs of the coming apocalypse, which may be exactly why another audience finds it so ruthlessly, irresistably funny.
  24. Ok, I admit at first I was just laughing at the sheer gutsiness of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. But after 10 minutes, I was laughing at the script.
  25. 63
    I laughed. I did not always feel proud of myself while I was laughing, however.

    Brilliant, in its own twisted way.
  27. 60
    Inspired, self-referential animated musical.
  28. Labors mightily to be as offensive and obnoxious as possible. It's inventive in an idiotic sort of way, though, and pauses occasionally to make serious points about movie violence and censorship.
  29. 50
    Gross-out funny, over-the-top offensive, and just as amusing -- or idiotic -- as you find that Comedy Central sitcom.

    If you hate this movie, you have no perception of comedy whatsoever the umor in this is brilliant, with music that should be top of the charts and phrases that top my list in all-time greatest comedy lines. Theonly film that makes me think positively of Saddam Hussein (not in real life) if his real persona was that of how he is portrayed in this movie then i wouldbuy him a drink. SENSATIONAL!!!

    This is one of the most offensive and funny animated movies of all time. Everything is in its place, but the whole movie works on several levels. It is amazing. Full Review »
  3. Actually pretty good for a musical. It was funny and well worth the watch and any fan of the series will absolutely love this film. I thought it was good. Full Review »
