Tagline: Warning: This movie will wrap your fragile little minds.
Plot: In the feature film based on the hit animated series, the third graders of South Park sneak into an R-rated film by ultra-vulgar Canadian TV personalities Terrence and Phillip, and emerge with expanded vocabularies that leave their parents and teachers scandalized. When outraged Americans try to censor the film, the controversy becomes a call to war with Canada, and Terrence and Phillip end up on death row - with only the kids left to save them.

Rated R for pervasive vulgar language and crude sexual humor, and for some violent images (81 minutes)
South Park: Bigger Longer, and Uncut was released in theaters in 1999 and is now celebrating its 25th anniversary. Yep, 1999 is 25 years ago 😭.. And, now Fathom Events for a limited time is bringing this R-rated (and they really took advantage of the rating) to celebrate this milestone.
This is honestly my first time checking this movie out. I did watch a few of the episodes years ago and couldn't really get into them. But, still kept an open mind when I was watching it.
So, yes, this movie does have a lot of dark humor scattered throughout. I mean, it's a South Park movie, what do you expect? When the humor gets dark and a little gross, it really goes there and some of it can actually be funny.
I honestly think it's more vulgar than the show, but not entirely sure. The original songs that are featured in the movie can be both vulgar and really entertaining. And, did you know that this movie was nominated for an Best Original Song Oscar? Yes, the South Park movie is an Oscar-nominated movie.
It was nominated for the song "Blame Canada" and no it didn't win. The soundtrack and the movie itself actually received positive reviews.
With the political and vulgar humor, you can easily tell the creators wanted to see what they can get away with from the rating system. So, if you are still fans of this on-going series, then I am certain you will love this movie!
Here are quite a few fun tidbits for the 1999 movie!
Trey Parker, Matt Stone and fans in general often joked that a majority of the people who saw this movie were under 17, but got into the R-rated movie bu buying tickets to the PG-13 rated Will Smith flop Wild Wild West. The urban legend became so popular in 1999 that it would be spoofed in an episode of South Park.
Paramount originally asked Parker and Stone if they could make a PG-13 rated movie. They said no and wouldn't agree to make a movie until the studio agreed that the final product would be rated R.
In the credits both Saddam Hussein (voiced by Stone) and Stan (Parker) are listed as playing themselves.
This movie was the highest grossing R-rated animated movie until Sausage Party outgrossed it 17 years later.
The song "Blame Canada" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, but it lost to Phil Collins' "You'll Be In My Heart" from Tarzan. In return, Parker and Stone ridiculed Collins in the 4th season of the show.
Parker and Stone watched the movie a second time in 2009, for a commentary track for the Blu-Ray release, and both admitted to having no recollection of making this movie due to their busy schedule.
It's a widely reported myth that the original title was South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose and the MPAA forced Parker and Stone to change the title, stating that all titles but be G-rated (despite the fact that there are many movies with the world Hell in them: Hellraiser; Hellfighters; From Hell, etc). The story comes directly from Parker and Stone who claim that they submitted the movie with the original title and were forced to change it. Richard Taylor, a MPAA spokesman, denies that any movie was ever submitted with that title and that the MPAA didn't reject the use of the word hell in the title.
Chris Rock cited this movie as the funniest movie he had ever seen.
The reason Parker and Stone made the movie so inappropriate was because they thought their show would get cancelled. ON TV they couldn't do much, so they wanted to let their audiences know how bad they could make it, thinking it would be a good sign off to the show.
This was Comedy Central's only theatrically released animated feature.
This movie marked the first time in the entire series that Kenny is seen without his hood on.
Development for the movie began during production of South Park's first season in January 1998.
The crew alternated between the movie and the series, pushing both to scheduling extremes; changes to the movie were made as late as 2 weeks before its release as the crew continually disputed with Paramount.
