South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (R, 1999)

common sense media says

Entertaining raunchfest; not for kids.


parents & educators say
  • 43% say language is an issue
  • 38% say sexual content is an issue

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this movie is much raunchier and more explicit than the TV series and anything else their child (or, for that matter, the parent) is likely to have seen. Strong language is as rampant as the dark, immature-for-the-laughs humor, and there are crass sexual references.

Positive messages: Something to offend everyone.
Violence: Comic (but extreme) violence.
Sex: Explicit.
Language: Incessant and exceptionally colorful and vivid.
Consumerism: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the sharp satire and cleverness that is buried beneath the crass jokes.

What's the story?

What's the story?
Art imitates life, as the plot of SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER, AND UNCUT 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.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
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.

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.

INCREDIBLY FUNNY BUT ONLY FOR OLDER TEENS
This movie has explicit and pervasive language including f*ck, sh*t, cl*tor*s, and every other word in the dictionary. Plus there is extreme violence including cartoon decapitations, and gore. Also there is sexual and crude content throughout including a cartoon of a cl*tor*s, and a few pictures of penis and one cartoon penis, plus breasts are seen. There is also strong homosexual insults.

To the extreme in both it's cleverness and it's vulgarness.
When this movie came out in 1999, I just had to see it. The show impressed me, and so did this movie. But be warned: it is WAY more explicit than the TV show. It consists of 399 swear words, and over 100 offensive gestures. Only appropriate for older teens.

Very bad language.It broke a record in the guiness world records for 'most swearing in a animated film'I think it broke the record of swear words of 98 it also had the most f words until 2007 by alpha dog with 310 also.There's some violence to watch out for (jokes about destroying the world,Kenny being sent to hell and satan and tons of deaths).The only highlight is the message at the end

 
My favorite ultra-raunchy animated musical comedy!
Note: Although I adore this film, many will likely not due to its unsavory and unavoidably offensively rediculously raunchy and irreverent content. I love the songs, i love the characters, and i love the story. The humor is fantastic and the movie is highly entertaining. But that's me. Parents: use EXTREME caution when letting your kids or teens see this one. This may hold the record for one of the raunchiest comedies ever made, right beside Team America. The language alone would recieve the R rating, but there's also strong, explicit sexual references and situations, including off-screen homosexual sex (although some of it is disturbingly heard), two images of live-action male reproductive organs, and a talking private female organ (yes, you read that right), although your child may not understand what organ it is, it's still completely inappropriate. There are also particularly violent images, including a boy exploding and people being shot. There are also images of Hell, Sadaam Hussein, and Satan, which are central plot points. One an important note, if you are disgusted by this movie, please don't judge me. I don't enjoy certain vulgarities in this movie, but highly enjoy others. I'll admit, it's a guilty pleasure to watch this movie. Bottom Line: Although it is one of the raunchiest films in existence, it's still great fun to those with open minds. And, it still remains one of my favorite movies! Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

South Park has an unfortunately bad reputation
Here's what I have to say: why are children watching South Park??? The reason South Park has such a bad reputaion is because there are 10-year-olds out there watching this and it's definitely not appropriate for them. People constantly criticize it for being to "dirty" for thier kids. In the words of a great song, "next time you point a finger, I'll point you to the mirror" I think this show, and this movie, are all right for high school-aged teens, but isn't so great for young kids.

 
Fans of the T.V. show will laugh their heads off
One of my personal favorite movies, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is a hilarious movie that no fan of the T.V. show should miss. This movie is basically an hour and a half long episode of South Park uncensored. So fans of the show will be in heaven while watching this, and non-fans of the show won't bother with it. Parents should know that there is an uncountable amount of swearing and crudity in this film. I mean it, this film holds the Guiness World Record of over 400 profanities in an animated film. There is also (all animated) bare breasts, naked butts, implied sex, a sex toy, a photo of a (real life) part of the male anatomy, a porn tape watched by young boys, a war with body parts flying across the screen, a bloody heart transplant, two characters getting shot in the head, one character getting impaled on a jagged rock, and one character committing suicide. Although, parents should note that all the violence is comical and done for humor. Parents should also know that your kid(s) will definitely want to see this film, and as long as you're okay with them watching the T.V. show and you no longer have a problem with language, this film should be alright for your kid(s) to see.

 
Done in the spirit of the TV show, but without censorship limits

 
A superb film, for mature audiences.
More sex violence and language than on the show. However, good messages, great songs, and did I mention it's hilarious?

 
About the age thing
This movie has got to be raunchfest of the ages, but it is freakin hilarious!! About the age thing, I am just saying that for 12 and up, but MATURE 12 YEAR OLDS. The ones that know that none of this is to be repeated and will understand the jokes are wrong. They can laugh, there is nothing wrong with laughter, but they should know not to repeat it.

NOT FOR KIDS AT ALL
This is THE raunchiest, yet one of the most fun movies out there. It is chock full of cursing, violence, sex, and a giant talking female genital organ. However, it also has a very stupid yet sweet storyline and a fairly powerful message at the end. Again, DO NOT see this movie if you are fourteen or under. Not even the show itself can prepare you for it.

BEST MOVIE EVER!
I hope there's a sequel!

 
Be Careful Who You Let Watch This!
A family movie? NO WAY! Funny? Hysterically! So, it's one of the most profane movies I've ever seen--I let my 11 year old watch it about a year ago. He understand that it's a big joke, that you don't talk that way in public (hopefully not in private, either), and he knows that if he has questions about what is in the movie, he can come to us and ask. I think it's a touchy subject--letting kids watch a movie like this. It was okay for my son, who was already familiar with the series--just know your kid and if you're going to let them watch it, WATCH IT WITH THEM!!!
