South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut - R
Common Sense Note
Any parent considering allowing a child or teenager to see the movie should watch it first, as it's much raunchier and more explicit than anything else the child (or, for that matter, the parent) is likely to have seen.
Parents can talk with teens about the sharp satire and cleverness that is buried beneath the crass jokes.
Common Sense Review
Reviewed By: Nell Minow
Parents may think that nothing can be more outrageous than the "South Park" television show, with its macabre humor, strong language, and singing poop. They need to understand that this theatrical release is much, much more outrageous and inappropriate for children and most teens.
Art imitates life, as the plot has its quartet of third graders sneaking into a Canadian R-rated movie and repeating the profanity they heard. This becomes so upsetting to the community that the US declares war on Canada. One of the children gets a V-chip implanted in his head that shocks him when he says something inappropriate. And Kenny, killed once again, ends up in Hell, where Satan and Saddam Hussain are homosexual lovers.
The movie has some sharp satire and genuine wit amidst the over 100 uses of the f-word and references to every kind of bodily function and singing sex organs. But any parent considering allowing a child or teenager to see the movie should watch it first, as it is much raunchier and more explicit than anything else the child (or, for that matter, the parent) is likely to have seen.
