'South Park' delights delinquents

The boys are back and on the big screen! “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut” is exactly as the title infers, with an emphasis placed on “uncut.” Trey Parker and Matt Stone's highly successful Comedy Central television cartoon about four foul-mouthed tykes and their wacky town definitely appeals to viewers with a goofy side.

Fans of “South Park” the television series will not be disappointed. Filled with bathroom humor, streams of obscenities and sporting a musical score so bizarre one is shocked into laughter. This full-length animated adventure will delight most “Parkies.”

The plot unfolds as Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny sneak into a R-rated movie starring their favorite characters, Terrence and Phillip. This Canadian duo is in true vulgar form, and the boys glean and parrot every obscenity they see in this flick. The rest of their third grade class is quick to follow.

The change in their behavior and language does not go unnoticed. Parents and school officials are appalled at their children's demeanor. Outraged by the effect the movie has on innocent young minds, Kyle's mother leads a group of parents who demand to be heard from their small Colorado town.

Taken at face value, this plot may seem utterly stupid. However, Parker and Stone have an ingenious way of making the most inane circumstances undeniably funny. 

Be warned, however. “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut” will not be enjoyed by the easily offended and people who demand political correctness in their theater viewing. Barely escaping an NC-17 rating, this is also not a film for children. Nonetheless, this animated farce will leave true “South Park” fans begging for more.
