Advantages: amusing film

Disadvantages: annoying audiences

... but mostly.

Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny go to see the "new
Canadian movie" they've been waiting so
anxiously for. There they learn a whole new
host of swear-words, which they demonstrate
as only 8-year-olds can do so well.

The mothers find out and ban them from going
back to see it, which they promptly do. When
Kenny then burns to death (oh my god!) as a
result, more drastic action is taken. And when
Cartman then launches into a full rendition of
"Kyle's Mom's a bitch" - including a multi-
language section - something has to be done!

If you ignore for a moment the excessive
swearing (which actually gets a little tedious
after a while - the funniest scene in the whole
of South Park: series 1 was the one where Kyle
did a 5-minute beep-filled rant at the aliens),
Saddam Hussein and Satan being gay lovers, the
whole musical thing and cheap animation ...
Stone and Parker do actually seem to be making
a justified point about American censorship -
that kids are allowed to watch all manner of
sex and violence, but the merest hint of a
swear word, and a film is all but banned.

The film itself is funny, and the story line is
entertaining. Might be a bit of a problem if
(like me) you're sat next to someone that finds
every single swear word worthy of falling about
the floor laughtin, though
