South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

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

Portland Oregonian Barry Johnson

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.

TNT RoughCut Christopher Brandon

It's super!

Slate David Edelstein

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

San Francisco Examiner Wesley Morris

It's a gas, dude!

The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps

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.

Newsweek David Ansen

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.

Washington Post Rita Kempley

Sharp, wildly funny social satire behind the profanity and potty jokes.

Los Angeles Times John Anderson

So gleefully vulgar, so eagerly offensive, it's tough not to get down on all fours and beg for more.

Film.com Ernest Hardy

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

Variety Dennis Harvey

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.

Time Richard Corliss

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

Village Voice Gary Dauphin

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.

Film.com Robert Horton

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

The New York Times Stephen Holden

Very funny, extremely obscene movie spinoff from the popular animated Comedy Central series.

Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan

Far filthier and a good bit funnier than Trey Parker and Matt Stone's sophomoric cable TV show ever dared to be.

ReelViews James Berardinelli

An agreeable, albeit uneven, experience. Parker should take note, however, that, in some things, size doesn't matter and bigger doesn't mean better.

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

Nonstop crudeness, vulgarity and unpleasantness. It's without any redeeming social value whatsoever. And it's funny from beginning to end.

USA Today Mike Clark

This has to be the raunchiest full-length animated feature since Fritz the Cat, which got an X rating in 1971.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey

Undoubtedly the rudest and possibly the most inspired comedy of the summer.

Chicago Tribune Marc Caro

The kind of movie that can get you simultaneously laughing and shaking your head at its audacity.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

In terms of raw wit and fearless satire, the South Park kids put Mike Myers and Adam Sandler to shame.

Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek

Beneath the veneer of fake dicks and fart jokes, it's really a righteous paean to saying whatever the hell you want.

Dallas Observer Andy Klein

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

Film.com Lucy Mohl

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.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak

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.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

I laughed. I did not always feel proud of myself while I was laughing, however.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Brilliant, in its own twisted way.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

Inspired, self-referential animated musical.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

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.

Austin Chronicle Sarah Hepola

Gross-out funny, over-the-top offensive, and just as amusing -- or idiotic -- as you find that Comedy Central sitcom.
