“What can I say but OH MY GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had heard rumors about this movieu0026#39;s extremities (no pun intended) and that it was much more…ahem…wild than the t.v. show. Now, Iu0026#39;ve only seen a handful of the television shows, and theyu0026#39;re pretty racy and raunchy, but Iu0026#39;ve always liked what Iu0026#39;ve seen. Itu0026#39;s definitely not a show (or movie!) for kids. Or the faint of heart, or the easily offended. But then again, if you know that youu0026#39;re an easily offended person DONu0026#39;T GO SEE THIS MOVIE! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enI loved this movie. Granted, I have to admit that I was shocked and surprised through 95% of it. But it was great nonetheless. It was funny and vulgar and said pretty much everything in a manner that was NOT politically correct. But then again, arenu0026#39;t we all getting pretty sick of political correctness?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think one of the things that gets most of us, (at least myself) is that when we were kids that age, we never would have gone around saying half of what those kids did. Or, if we did, we did our best not to get caught! Of course, I was only ever threatened with getting my mouth washed out with soap…not my mother starting a war with a foreign country! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enThe musical numbers were great! They were very upbeat and will stick in the minds of viewers for years to come. In the future, when weu0026#39;re all sitting behind our desks (or whatever jobs we may have), weu0026#39;ll notice that weu0026#39;ll be humming certain catchy tunes and when we stop to wonder what it is, weu0026#39;ll remember the songs from South Park both with humor and with horror that weu0026#39;re actually humming them out in the u0026quot;civilizedu0026quot; world. The scene I think the best for musical numbers was where several of the different songs were going on at one time. It was very u0026quot;Les Miserablesu0026quot; like (I saw the musical so I know what Iu0026#39;m talking about) in a very sick and twisted sort of way. It was simply funny and light hearted.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie poked fun at just about everything in the book. Nothing was spared. Not Christianity, not different racial stereotypes, and certainly not the gay community. But none of it was handled in a fashion to be hateful or humiliating. In my opinion, all the jabs were meant to get people to see that there shouldnu0026#39;t be the divisions that there are and when people get separated, they leave themselves open to ridicule and criticism. Rather if we all came together and put aside the divisions and stereotypes, then perhaps we could all see the humor in remarks and jabs like the ones made in this movie. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the political statement: itu0026#39;s true, you know. This country (as are many others) is always looking for something or someone else to blame for all the u0026quot;troubles.u0026quot; We as a nation are hypersensitive to every little thing and just about everything is taboo. From swearing to being able to purchase certain adult oriented u0026quot;toys,u0026quot; a person canu0026#39;t do anything in this country without being censored or u0026quot;forbiddenu0026quot; to. Itu0026#39;s sad when a stateu0026#39;s laws or a personu0026#39;s hysteria keeps people from their constitutional right of free speech and the like. And this is what this movie was trying to point out. I agree with the person who is his review of this movie wrote, u0026quot;Theyu0026#39;re just wordsu0026quot; about the swearing in the movie. And thatu0026#39;s all they are. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enI give this movie a 10 for its humor, its musical numbers and its obvious statements. I think that everyone (who has an open mind) should go see this movie…and then go again and take someone who doesnu0026#39;t have an open mind so that it can be opened by the hilarious things said and done in this movie.”
