Uh-Oh.

Sunday · 24 Oct 04 · 07:46 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Movies

I just got back from watching South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut at Movie Dome.  This was a special sponsor show organised by some students at MIC.  Anirudh and myself were the only two audience members from TAPMI there.

I had a great time at this movie, inspite of the fact that the audio-video lost sync after about half an hour into the movie.  Anyway, I am a huge fan of the South Park TV show and this movie was even better.  So what's the storyline?  After watching the first big-screen adventure of Canadian TV stars Terrance and Philip (called "Asses of Fire"), all the kids in South Park start swearing uncontrollably.  In order to stop this, their mothers want to declare war against Canada, and have Terrance and Philip executed.  The problem is, if their blood is spilt, it would allow Satan and his lover Saddam Hussein to take over the Earth.  It is up to the South Park kids to save the day.

The movie pushes its R rating to the limits, and is far more offensive than any single episode of the TV show (the IMDb trivia page for this movie says that there are 399 profane words in this 81 minute long film)!  At the same time, I found the movie hilarious and brilliantly written.  There are lots of amazing songs on the soundtrack ("Blame Canada" was Oscar-nominated), and the final war scene, where all hell breaks loose (the film's original title was supposed to be South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose) is very well done.  I must also say that this movie's CGI vision of Hell is impressively realised.  Well, what else can I say?  I've been waiting to watch this movie for a very long time and I am really happy that I got to see it!

By the way, the headline of this post — "Uh-Oh." — is the movie's tagline.  The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have recently come out with Team America: World Police, which I hear is equally funny.
