I want to see this too. Puppets and blow jobs...:D

^ I think because of America's irrational rating system which places sex as worse than violence means the oral sex scenes had to be cut out in order to get a lower rating...

It's funny because in Australia sex is not really a problem, it is violence that causes a movie to get a higher rating.

 

[Pander Bear]

yes, I'm the person who gave it a three out of four.

It was a pretty damn strong three, though. A more graphic puppet sex scene might have put it over the top.

thank fucking god
You made my day. Last week, imdb, said the au release date will be march 3.

 

[lostpunk5545]

^ Yeah I was spewing as well... Woohoo!

 

[m885]

Wow, that was awful.

 

[Snakecharmer]

I think I would have enjoyed the show much better had it not been for an awkward social situation:

1. Two Middle Eastern 20 somethings sat directly next to me. There mere presence was not something that bothered me. But, they spoke Arabic the ENTIRE movie...did not laugh the ENTIRE movie, and the guy sitting directly next to me smelled awful. I wasn't concerned about laughing loudly as they made fun of Arabic culture or language (I assure you I did anyway)...but there was just something about the vibe they were giving off-perhaps it was the smell- that prohibited me from truely enjoying the show like I anticipated.

But all in all, I thought it was very clever and "creative". Kim Jong Ill turning into a roach at the end was classic

I seen this movie last night, and I'll have to watch it again to truly enjoy it as I can't remember it all that well, I think I fell asleep not even halfway through...

I'll wait for the unrated DVD then...

 

[Billy Orange]

i didn't pay to see this and im glad, i downloaded it n' the first 45 minuters were hard to watch, i didnt even bother with second disc, fridya night lights is a better movie, worth the download

 

[keystroke]

^ it's hard to watch because you've downloaded a bootlegged camera version of the movie.


go and pay for it you slacker!

Yeah, I was looking forward to some hardcore puppet pornography. Would have been hilarious.

Although the scenes couldn't have been too bad though, as in an interview one of the two commented that the puppets didn't even have genitals so he didn't see what the deal was.

I mean they are puppets for fucks sake...

 

[m885]

The puppet scene was idiotic and forced. I think they wrote the whole thing around that idea. The box office numbers are pretty dissapointing for this movie, and for a reason. A movie isn't funny just by inserting fuck into every sentence. These guys could have written a much better movie, but I don't think they took the time.

 

[HypnotiQ]

m885 do you ever watch southpark? Using an outrageous amount of cussing and hillarious new phrases (UNCLEFUCKAH, haha) is something you should expect coming into the theatre... I think some people are mistaking this movie as an action movie and don't understand that trey parker and matt stone are all about taking it to the limit when it comes to using as many "I can't believe they did that" scenes as they can..can't understand that people can't use common sense and realize that it's fucking PUPPETS and that this isn't going to be a very serious movie. Oh and the boxoffice numbers... what parent do u know that will take their kids to see this, or for that matter how many avg american joe parents would even want to see a movie with puppets. I don't think Trey Parker and Matt Stone are as worried about making money off this movie as they are about pleasing their loyal fans that love their sense of humor so much..they already have enough money between southpark and southpark the movie, the movie is actually making FUN of big boxoffice action movies that make millions of dollars and are complete pieces of cliche trash.

Anyways, on to my review :O

I went to the movie pretty spun and could not wait to see the masterpiece that I knew awaited me. From the first scene to the end I was laughing my ass off... I guess the puppets just looked too fuckin funny sometimes and i couldnt help but bust up laughing... so many funny things in that movie that I can't even remember HALF of the hillarious parts. Oh, and im not sure if it was just cuz I was spun, but those puppets looked gakked

 

[KaNdii kiSses]

I actually wasn't too interested in this movie, btu a few of my friend sthat have seen it had great things to say about it. So maybe I will check it out sometime

 

[m885]

I am a huge fan of South Park and Stone/Parker, but I was really dissapointed by this. Why Sing about "Pearl Harbor", what was the point? It had nothing to do with the plot, most songs didn't. It just seemed like they rushed into production without working out any details.

 

[HypnotiQ]

ok, the original reasonf or making the movie was to make fun of huge blockbuster action films that suck ass yet make millions of dollars.. they actually got a hold of the script for "The Day After Tommorow" and they were going to copy the movie exactly only with marionettes..but then their lawyer advised them against it.. the war plot was just to add extra spice... and honestly was South Park the movie THAT much more complex... I mean saddam hussein and satan are gay lovers, terrance and phillip are being executed for bad language and fart jokes, and stan trying to ffind out about the clit... but does that really matter? I laughed so hard in Team America that the plot didn't matter after about 20 minutes of solid laughter, they couldve done anything with the story as long as im still laughing my ass off. The plot was obviously not meant to be serious and was just a hillarious way to make fun of celebrity douche bags that think they can talk politics everytime some1 sticks a mic in their face, and lame ass action movies. Pearl Harbor was trash, they spent millions of dollars on a movie that fucking SUCKED, it had nothing to do with what Pearl Harbor actually meant to America and instead focused on a lame ass love story between Ben Affleck and some other piss poor actors. Matt stone and trey parker made a way better action movie with fucking PUPPETS... also... Puppet Sex and a broadway play 'LEASE' with a closing song of "Everyone has AIDS" ..that is comedy gold

im really fucked up and rambling will fix incoherent post later

 

[BA]

Fuckin horrible.

Aside from a few chuckles here and there, the humor was stale and boring. I love south park, but I think Parker & Stone fell short on this one.
